My New Years Resolution for 2003 is to join the EFA (www.efa.org.au) the Australian equivalent of the Electronic Frontiers Federation (www.eff.org) and a group that is committed to minimising government regulation of the Internet, opposes censorship, values individual privacy and favours strong protection for public domain access to copyrighted works.

I believe these issues will become increasingly relevant to network users in to coming years and action needs to be taken now to ensure the Internet remains a network supporting freedom.
