[NCUC-DISCUSS] Fwd: Wi-Fi Access at GCCS Venue

[Mueller, Milton L]

I don’t think you are alarming yourself too much. This is a Bad Thing.
The irony seems to be lost on the Indian government, which pays lip service to multistakeholder governance and open internet while at the same time adopting heavily regulated and sovereigntist policies.
Why don’t you bring that issue up at the GCCS?

I think there is a lot of work to be done in this world with regards to privacy issues.

Please see the email bellow telling me what to do if i want to access « free wifi » at a conference on cyber space.

I find it offensive to ask personal data to access free wifi? Or maybe i am alarming myself too much?

Dear Mr. Arsene Tungali,

This is with reference to your GCCS 2017 participation. We have partnered with leading Telecom service providers in India to provide a free Wi-Fi service to interested participants at GCCS venue. The Government of India regulation requires that the passport number and the copy of the passport of the user be collected to provide Wi-Fi service in public places.

To expedite this process we have provided a facility in your GCCS account to upload a scanned copy of your passport along with necessary passport details. If you wish to avail the free Wi-Fi facility at the GCCS venue, it is requested that you upload a scanned copy of your passport showing the photograph, address and passport number in ‘Registration Details’ section of your GCCS account.

Foreign nationals who have not uploaded their passport details would need to carry the passport to the venue if they wish to avail the Wi-Fi facility.

Regards,
GCCS 2017 Team
