Request for Comments: CIGF Commonwealth Cybercrime Initiative
The CIGF has specifically asked if the Diplo Security and Cybercrime discussion groups would comment on their initiative. Please review this, and the two files I will paste below. This is a chance for you to have input to ongoing Security and Cybercrime global policy. Please let us know what you think! Will it work? Is it missing something? Does it address the issues that are important to you and your country? - Ginger
The CIGF is proposing a Commonwealth Cybercrime Initiative for CHOGM endorsement in October 2011. The initiative is based upon the premise that a holistic global approach to combat Cybercrime is required in order to harmonise legal frameworks and avoid ‘gaps’ or ‘safe havens’ for cybercriminals to operate in.
The Initiative aims to address the urgent need to assist developing countries in the Commonwealth and beyond, to build their institutional capacities especially with respect to policy, legislation and regulation thus, making their jurisdictions more secure by denying safe havens to cyber criminals, and enabling them to become effective partners in the globally coordinated effort to combat cybercrime.
The Commonwealth Model Law on Computer and Computer Related Crime provides a foundation and an ‘off-the-shelf’ tool through which to leverage the unique advantage of the Commonwealth’s shared legal traditions for the adoption and implementation of harmonised legal regimes, thereby enabling international cooperation between our nations and the global community for effectively combating cyber crime. The Model Law and the Commonwealth thus, provide an amenable platform from which to transition countries towards updating and harmonising their legal regimes along the lines of the Convention to bring them closer towards and in time preparing them for the adoption of and accession to the Convention on Cybercrime.
The Initiative thus, aims to assist developing countries to build their institutional and legislative capacity in fighting cybercrime through the sharing of expertise and best practice from existent resources and treaties through:

Cyber criminal is at work: when you experience the following,
Suspicious “official” websites that look amateurish or poorly maintained
Emails asking for personal information or passwords
Sites requesting credit card information for entry
Unsolicited communication from someone you don’t know
Threatening or troubling language.

Mwende, thanks for posting the link to your study on CSIRTs/CERTs. It's a great study, both for professionals who are already involved in CSIRTs, and for those planning to develop and implement one. I'm sure the tech experts in our community will find it useful!

Computer Security Incidence Teams (CSIRT)/Computer Emergency Response teams (CERTs) are increasingly becoming important in the global fight against cybercrime particularly in developing countries. You may find the paper on Establishing a National CSIRT in Africa: Kenyan Case Study interesting.

Thanks to the Commonwealth initiative to fight cybercrime on a harmonized legal, policy, regulatory platform among member states for international co-operation. I would like to know whether the Commonwealth proposal in the document could be approve as international standards to be implemented by developing countries. If so, to what extent is the involvement of developing countries in this proposal for easy implementation across borders with regards to cyberspace taken into consideration the shared domestic legal traditions? The page 13 of the document,last paragraph the word 'enforcement' need to be edited

Thanks Ginger for creating a new forum! I am sure there are community members among us who are in a position to influence the legislative process in their country. Let's do our bit to help fight cybercrime!

Its my pleasure in joining this group of security concern people as myself. Being deeply involved and interested about privacy,security it sometimes seems like a fast forward to the future. Cyber crime is fast becoming a breathing ground for a new type of criminals who are motivated and determined at all cost. Don't be dismayed we are here to learn the ways of a criminal with reverse engineer being the driving force.
