Measuring Canada's tolerance for government surveillance - Allan MacGillivray, .ca
In light of revelations that the NSA monitoring Internet traffic transiting the American border, CIRA conducted a survey of Canadians in August 2013 to gauge their opinion of Internet surveillance. Of key interest in the results is the finding that more than three quarters of Canadians are fine with ongoing government monitoring of Canadians' online activity without a warrant, as long as it is in the interest of national security. This presentation will highlight the findings of the national survey.

EURid co-Funded Marketing Programme Update – Giovanni Seppia, .eu
The Co-funded Marketing Programme has been available to .eu accredited registrars since 28 April 2009. The first evaluation of the Programme took place in mid-2010, upon request of the European Commission. However, at that stage, only a limited number of campaigns had been carried out under the scheme and it was difficult, therefore, to properly assess the value of the Programme for .eu accredited registrars and its impact on .eu registration volumes and awareness of the domain. Over the course of 2010 and 2011, the Programme has taken off considerably. An overview of the campaigns conducted shows that the number of proposals submitted has risen steadily since 2009 to reach 90 proposals so far in 2013. Under the Co-funded Marketing Programme, EURid contributes to the costs of a registrar¹s .eu marketing campaign that meets specific conditions. The Programme has been recently awarded the CENTR Awards for Marketing and Communication.
