EU: Schon wieder sau/beres Internet


-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-

Der nächste Anlauf, den Filterwahn regeltechnisch zu
verankern, ließ etwas auf sich warten.

Wie immer ist dem Boten - in dem Fall Richard Swetenham,
einer der leider wenigen Sich/auskenner in der Bürokratie zu
Brüssel - keinerlei Vorwurf zu machen. Angeschoben haben
vielmehr wieder die Bertelsmänner und andere, die sauberes
Internet für sau/bere Geschäfte mit Kindern brauchen

Safer Internet

a) call for proposals - Filtering software and services - Closing
date: 31/05/2001

A call for proposals for projects to demonstrate filtering
software and services In the framework of the action plan on
promoting safer use of the Internet has been published in the
Official Journal of the European Communities.

The measures will focus on demonstrating the potential and
the limitations of filtering and rating systems in a real world
environment, with the objective of encouraging establishment
of systems suitable for European use and familiarising users
with their use. Filtering and rating schemes must be
internationally compatible and interoperable and developed
with full cooperation of representatives of industry,
consumers and users.

The demonstration projects should involve self-regulatory
bodies, industry (access and service providers, content
providers, network operators, software houses) user,
consumer and citizens rights groups and government bodies
involved in industry regulation and protection of minors.

Account should be taken of work on rating in other media.

This call is intended in particular to encourage proposals for
"close-to-market" solutions. Emphasis will be placed on
usefulness and practicality in "real-world" situations involving
a large cross-section of typical users.

Examples of areas which could form part of a project are:

· "Walled gardens" - services offering limited access to
content selected as being particularly suitable for a defined
age group;

· Adaptation of existing software to cover new languages;

· "Family friendly" searching;

· Third-party supply of templates and lists for use in combination with filtering options built into browsers from commercial or non-commercial, values-oriented organisations;

· Benchmarking of filtering software and services (evaluation of the effectiveness of different filtering/blocking tools in the European context)

Closing date: 31/05/2001

Further information: http://www.qlinks.net/iap/2001calls.html

An information meeting will be held in Brussels on 15 February 2001.

b) workshop on benchmarking of filtering software and services

This will be followed by a workshop on benchmarking filtering software and services on the same date.

At the request of the European Commission's Information Society Directorate-General, the Joint Research Centre, Ispra, has commenced a study to foster a better understanding of the process of benchmarking filtering softwa
re and services used to protect children from harmful or undesirable content on the Internet. In particular the study will seek to define the evaluation criteria that might be employed in specific benchmarking exercises.


Participation is strongly encouraged from the following groups:

suppliers of filtering software or services, organisations
interested in providing a benchmarking service, organisations
interested in promoting availability of better technical tools for
parents (including consumer, family and child welfare groups)
