[iot-discussion] Regulating the IoT

Hi all,

A colleague in a working group, Sivasubramanian M, brought up to the same
article on the Dynamic Coalition on Core Internet Values list. He said:*
"Bruce Schneier says that the only solution is to 'regulate.' I would
differ somewhat and say that the solution lies in architectural attention
and in standardization plus just a little bit of registration. IAB, IETF,
ISOC, and ICANN could pay attention and minimise the need for
'regulation.'"*

I agreed with Bruce's suggestion, but with that said, I think it's critical
that the solutions to this problem take a multistakeholder and
collaborative approach. I don't see why regulation in addition to Siva's
suggestions have to be mutually exclusive.

Best,
-Michael
