Subject: [Announce] IMMI proposal passed unanimously
To: announce at immi.is, core at immi.is


Reykjavík, Iceland; 4:00 UTC, June 16th 2010.


The Icelandic Modern Media Initiative's parliamentary resolution
proposal has passed through a vote at Alþingi and was accepted with a
unanimous vote.

50 votes were cast in favor, zero against, one abstained. Twelve members
of parliament were not present. Vote results are available at
http://www.althingi.is/dba-bin/atkvgr.pl?nnafnak=43014

Two changes were made to the proposal from its original form as per the
opinion of the parliament's general affairs committee
[http://www.althingi.is/altext/138/s/1329.html]. The first of these
altered slightly the wording of the first paragraph so as to widen the
arena for research. The second of these added two new items to the list
of tasks for the government:

  - That the government should perform a detailed analysis, especially
with respect to operational security, for the prospect of operating data
centers in Iceland.

  - That the government should organize an international conference in
Iceland regarding the changes to the legal environment being caused by
expansion of cloud computing, data havens, and the judicial state of the
Internet.


Video footage from the proposal's vote will be available at:
