While cyberspace groups pressed the industrialized members of the so-called Group of Eight not to over-regulate the Internet on behalf of fighting cybercrime, French President Jacques Chirac told G8 cybercrime delegates self-regulation could not equal the state's crimefighting role. nrn"There is no justification for giving up this system in cyberspace," Chirac reportedly told the delegates, convening to discuss Internet crime. nrnThe conference ended May 17 after three days of dominance by what published reports called the "tension" between governments' calls for a tighter grip on the Web and other's desires to operate in freedom. nrn"It is hard to imagine any set of regulatory requirements that would be flexible enough to deal with the wide range of customized solutions developing in the commercial marketplace today," said a Global Internet Project statement issued at the conference. This is a group of executives chaired by IBM Internet technology vice president John Patrick. nrnThree hundred law enforcement officials, diplomats and business leaders from the U.S., Japan, Germany, France, Britain, Italy, Canada and Russia gathered to brainstorm for the annual G8 summit in Japan in July. Chirac threw his support behind a cybercrime convention now being drafted by the Council of Europe calling for common cybercrime definitions and extensive international cooperation hunting down and punishing cybercrooks. nrnThe U.S., Canada, Japan and South Africa are working on this draft, but Chirac also called on developing countries to join in. "What would an international text be worth if India were not part of it?" he asked the delegation. nrnBut the Global Internet Project called instead for governments to pay attention to their own systems' security, cracking down on their own cybercrime, eliminating encryption controls, and sharing cyberthreat intelligence where possible, according to its statement. nrnFrench computer security firm CF6 fretted about a Council passage banning hacking software which corporations use to test security systems, saying banning such tests would eliminate a significant cybercrime prevention tool.
