Over the next 3 days, at the 3rd Annual African Peering and Interconnection Forum (AfPIF) in Johannesburg, South Africa, over 150 participants from over 30 countries, and 11 IXPs, will explore the practicalities. The entire meeting wil be webcast on the Internet Society Chapters Webcasting Channel.

  NYC to open new Cybercrime lab 

  A New York Times story “Manhattan Prosecutor to Centralize Efforts Against Cybercrime” brings news of an expansion of the City’s anti-Cybercrime effort.

  From the story:

  The Manhattan district attorney’s office on Tuesday announced plans for the construction of a cybercrime lab, which will centralize efforts to target crimes and criminals involving the use of technology.

  The lab, to be housed in the district attorney’s office, will be staffed by about 50 current employees, including computer forensic staff members, specialized prosecutors, analysts and investigators.

  The City Council provided about $4.2 million to pay for construction of the lab, said the Manhattan district attorney, Cyrus R. Vance Jr., at a news conference on Tuesday at City Hall, where he was joined by the City Council speaker, Christine C. Quinn.

  Ms. Quinn said, “In this day and age, we need to be as sophisticated as criminals are, using every tool we can to fight these complex crimes that are often taking place on the Internet — the new crime scene of the modern age.”

  The facility is expected to be completed by the end of 2013 and will expand on the efforts of the Manhattan Cybercrime and Identity Theft Bureau, which currently handles much of the forensic analysis of cellphones, smartphones, computers and other electronic devices.

  Holding up a bank card scamming machine that criminals use to steal credit card information from A.T.M.’s, Mr. Vance said the device was one example of the kind of technology that is increasingly being used to commit crimes.

  The district attorney’s office said it sees about 200 to 300 new identity theft cases in Manhattan every month, and the number of computers analyzed in criminal cases rose by 195 percent from 2010 to 2011.

  “Our office, in order to do its job, needs to stay ahead of the curve,” Mr. Vance said. “Things are happening at Internet speed. As we figure out how to combat individuals who are utilizing this type of relatively unsophisticated but nonetheless tricky and effective trickery, they’re moving onto something else.”

  Call for Nominations: ISOC-NY Election 2012 

  ISOC-NY is a 501(c)3 corporation, chartered by the Internet Society. Under our By-laws we have to hold an election every two years for our various offices and board of directors.

  The current officers and directors terms were supposed to end on July 31 2012, with fresh terms beginning on Aug 1. However due to procrastination – July was a busy month – the election has been put off til now. But we should get it done in the next two weeks. Newly elected officers and directors terms will be backdated a month!

  So, this leaves us just a matter of days to hold the 2012 election, so we’d better get on with it!!

  Nominations: Aug 14 – Aug 21 2012 Midnight EST Voting: Aug 23 – Aug 29 2012 Midnight EST

  According to our By-laws the offices are

  1. President.
  2. Executive Vice-President.
  3. Administrative Vice-President.
  4. Secretary
  5. Assistant Secretary.
  6. Treasurer.
  7. Assistant Treasurer.

  Only the Secretary and Treasurer are permitted to hold more than one position.

  There is a minimum of 7 directors and a maximum of 15 directors.

  If you look at the Community Portal you’ll see we currently have 10 directors.
  The officer’s roles are clearly defined in the Bylaws. What does it mean if you become a director? Well.. it’s hoped that you will attend meetings/events, but more to the point you will be added to several mailing lists:

  1) ISOC-NY BOD list, where we hash out the nitty gritty of ISOC-NY activities and policy.

  2) the ISOC North American Leaders regional list, where we share thoughts with our fellow USA Chapters.

  3) the ISOC Chapter Delegates list, where we share thoughts with our Chapter colleagues around the world.

  So, we are looking for nominations! Self-nominations are fine. Just one thing, please make sure that you are a member of the chapter! This can be done by going to https://portal.isoc.org/EBusiness/Home.aspx and checking your status. If you’re not, just join – doesn’t take a mo’!

  Then send your name, with a brief statement of interest saying why you’d be a good director, to mailto:nomcom@isoc-ny.org before midnight next Tuesday Aug 21 2012. If you are also interested in standing for one of the offices say so. You will then be approved, or not, by the nominations committee.

  @NYCHA Digital Vans bring #Internet to #NYC projects #access #broadband #btop 

  A DNAinfo story Mobile Computer Labs Deliver High-Speed Internet to Public Housing details NYC Housing Authority’s two mobile computer labs.

  From the story:

  The air-conditioned vehicles, which NYCHA calls Digital Vans, are outfitted with eight laptops each and wireless Internet, which tenants can also access outside the vans on their own devices. Trained instructors travel with the vans to problem solve or, in some cases, to explain computer basics.

  The vans shuttle daily between 19 NYCHA developments across the city, including 10 sites in The Bronx, stopping at each development about once every two weeks. They are partly funded by a federal Broadband Technology Opportunities Program grant.

  Included is a good quote from NYCHA CIO Atefeh Riazi: ““I’ve never seen a seven-year-old do homework on a cellphone.”

  The Digital Vans’ locations can be ascertained by following @NYCHA.
