RESOLVED,
that in view of the developments under the Wassenaar Arrangement, the

within RFC 1984. Export controls and usage controls are slowing the
deployment of security at the same time as the Internet is exponentially
increasing in social impact, and attackers are increasing in sophistication.
Internet users are being placed in a dangerous position if they are
forced to rely on insecure electronic communication through inappropriate
restriction of the use of cryptographic technologies.
Resolution - In Memory of Jonathan B. Postel
The Board expresses its deep sense of loss and mourning following the death of our fellow Trustee and friend, Jonathan B. Postel. Jon served as a Trustee from 1993 until his death in October 1998, and the Board, and the Internet Society, were the beneficiary of his good sense and practical approach to all matters considered by the Board. Goodbye Jon.
