Dear ISOC-CH members and friends, This is a period in which digital rights are under huge pressure and there is a lot to do to raise awareness and strive for policies that promote privacy, security, and digital sovereignty. ISOC-CH in the context of the NGI0 Commons project has announced a job position searching for a “policy expert on digital sovereignty and the cloud”: https://www.isoc.ch/isoc-ch-is-hiring-application-process-is-open/
Please forward this to anyone who might be interested. The deadline for application is August 30th.
Moreover, the ISOC-CH board has decided to join the Netzwerk SDS, that is “The network for a sovereign digital Switzerland.” (Netzwerk für eine souveräne digitale Schweiz) in order to support the development of strong, independent digital infrastructures that align with our mission of privacy and digital sovereignty. .
Please let us know if you have any ideas or concerns about ISOC-CH's official engagement with this network.
We are currently preparing an overview on the most relevant initiatives
In this context, ISOC-CH is closely following the campaigns around the E-ID referendum. For this, we dedicated our Public Policy Sessions 2025 event, featuring a very interesting panel that you can watch here: https://isoc.live/18882/ that you can support such as the E-ID-Gesetz-NEIN, which you can also directly support: https://e-id-gesetz-nein.ch/#spenden Finally, support us by sharing this newsletter with your network and following us on
