GII public policy issues

National information infrastructure (NII) public policy issues apply to development of the global information infrastructure (GII) as well. individual privacy rights; prevention of malicious behavior by irresponsible individuals; protecting the interests of computer system owners, operators, users, and the general public from computer crime; excluding unauthorized access; and preventing destruction of national computer systems (e.g., interbank transaction systems) are issues that can be endemic to GII operations. More recent issues, such as the need for high-definition television standards, expand the global challenges. Hence, the body of work performed by CCIP for IEEE-USA, which focused on public policy issues of the NII, can serve as a set of lessons learned that should be considered by the GII community.
