Marlon,
All I can say is, this is great. Thanks so much to you guys (and gal) for
doing this work. For me, this CALEA safe harbor work you are doing alone
makes me feel justified in paying to be a member of WISPA. I probably would
not even have become conscious in a serious way of CALEA without the help of
WISPA. I expect our dues don't even cover your expenses for this work, so
all I can say is thanks.
Question: have you considered posting this document on the WISPA website so
that we can publish links to it? For example, I'd like to share this info
with opencalea.org mailing list; I think it would benefit them and the
larger community.
Also thanks to Clint for his recent posts, in particular the contact info of
the fellow at the FBI who we can work with to test our compliance.
Best regards,
Adam

Subject: [WISPA] the straight scoop on CALEA
Hi All,
As many of you know, WISPA sent a team to Quantico to talk to the FBI's
CALEA team first hand. We went down with a compilation of most of the
questions that people had asked on all of the lists we could find.
Here are the main questions and answers as worked out between WISPs and
the
FBI's CALEA team.
As you can see, there is NO reason to panic. There is NO data storage
requirement other than what's needed to deal with the specific warrant.
There is no requirement to use an expensive TTP solution etc. Heck, they
won't even toss you in jail for that free open hotspot you have!
I hope people sleep better after having read this. Special thanks to
Mike,
Eric, Martha, Brent and Marty for all of the hours and hours and hours
that
they have put into this doc. Not to mention the money and time they put
into the trip to Virginia! Great job guys (and gal), many many thanks.
The deadline to be compliant is coming up in May. There are a couple of
mechanisms that look like they'll allow you guys to be compliant very
quickly and without going broke in the process. Image Stream has been
deeply involved with this and a couple of other efforts that WISPA is
working on in regards to CALEA. As is Butch Evens. Both have solutions
that should work for folks if you get a warrant issued before the rest of
the things we're working on are finished up.
I'll release more info on what we're doing at the association level as
soon
as I can. Please know though, we have some very bright people deeply
involved in things related to CALEA and it's impact on our businesses.
The
next phases will take several months though.....
Sincerely,
Marlon K. Schafer
FCC Committee Chairman
