Increased awareness about government surveillance practices has changed the way society understands privacy, values and due process of the law, leaving individuals and businesses unsure about who has access to their private information. The trust of our customers is the currency upon which the Internet economy is built. It's foundation, the Internet infrastructure industry, must collaborate with others who have a stake in its success to show the world that the United States takes privacy seriously. We are already seeing an international backlash to the activities of the NSA as individual countries and regions seek to implement policies that will fragment the Internet into localized networks. This would discount all the principles that have led to our industry's massive success. Now more than ever, we must work together to ensure that significant reforms are made to maintain the open and free nature of the Internet as we know it.

Editor's Notes
- People in the tech industry need to be contacting their elected officials and potential elected officials. Likely this will be dealt with in next Congress, not this Congress Those that are running need to be influenced to ensure that real NSA reform happens
- We need to find ways to make this a campaign issue
- If you have that leadership within you, it is your time to step up; make this your issue
- One way or another, we need to regain our strength by fighting for real NSA reform. Good for the economy Good for the rule of law and the safety of those who live under the law Good for the tech industry
