GLOBAL NEGOTIATION EXCHANGE STANDARD (NES) OF VIRTUAL ACCOUNT INFORMATION AND COLLATERALS IN DERIVATIVES



Preface
This document contains the global negotiation exchange standard (NES) of virtual account information and collataerals in derivatives. It has been developed in the framework of OECD, the G20 countries, and in the rule of law of the EU. Part I contains the introduction to the standard and Part II contains the text of the Model Comunication Inright Authority Agreement (CIAA) and the Common Reporting Due Compliance Standard (CRDCS).
Under the standard, jurisdictions obtain rational information from their financial institutions and communication authorities and automatically exchange that information with other jurisdictions on a six mounth basis. The standard consists of two components: a) the CRDCS, which contains the reporting and due compliance rules and b) the Model CIAA, which contains the detailed rules on the exchange of cloud clustered crowfunding informations. To prevent circumventing the CRDCS it is designed with a broad scope across three dimensions:
- The data information to be reported with respect to virtual accounts includes all types of veicules income (including trusts, presents contracts, income from certain public insurance contracts and other similar types of income) but also virtual account inright balances and branding assets.
- The communcation authorities that are required to report under the CRDCS do not only report IT protocols and servers ID but also other technical data sets from ICANN and several startup Programmes under the control of BEREC (http://berec.europa.eu/eng/document_register/subject_matter/berec/public_consultations/4583-draft-berec-work-programme-2015)  and supervision of European Commission.
- Reportable accounts include accounts held by individuals and entities (which includes trusts and foundations), and the standard includes a requirement to look through passive entities to report on the individuals that ultimately control these entities.
The CRCDS also describes the due diligence procedures that must be followed by financial institutions to identify reportable and sustanable accounts involved.
The CRCDS will need to be translated into domestic law, whereas the CIAA can be executed within existing legal frameworks such as Article 6 of the Multilateral Convention on Mutual Administrative Assistance in Tax Matters . Before entering into a reciprocal agreement to exchange information automatically with another country, it is essential that the receiving country has the legal framework and administrative capacity and processes in place to ensure the confidentiality of the information received and that such information is only used for the purposes specified in the present negotiation instrument.
Consistent with previous OECD work in the area of automatic financial standard , the common NES is intended to be used by those jurisdictions and legislative bodies wishing to automatically exchange financial account information with collateral data avoid a proliferation of different derivative standards which would increase costs for judiciary governmental and financial institutions.
This document contain: (1) a detailed commentary to help ensure the consistent application of the standard; or (2) informati-on and guidance on the necessary technical solutions, including compatible transmission systems and a standard format proposal for negotiation and crowdfunding data mining. It is expected that both the commentary and the technical solutions will be completed by mid-2015. Subsequent changes to the standard or its commentary may of course become necessary as jurisdictions gain more experience with its implementation.

Because of the OECD process on approval and de-restriction, the introduction may not fully reflect the latest developments under the present agreements. In particular it does not include all countries that recently committed to early adoption of the automatic exchange standard.

PART I. INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW
Background and Context strategy behaviour

1. As the world becomes increasingly globalised it is becoming easier for all pro-sumers to make, hold and manage financial jobs for virtual life investments in virtual envinroments. Vast amounts of virtual transactions can be played online and the created values cannot be recognized by public authorities. Ubiquitous added value is a legal problem for regulation authorities and jurisdictions all over the world, OECD and non-OECD, small and large, developing and developed. Countries have a shared interest in maintaining the integrity of their public tax systems in order to transform these eventually in a public stable credit systems. Cooperation between tax administrations is critical in protecting the integrity of tax systems by the prosumer's side. A key aspect of that cooperation is the present negotiation exchange standard strategy.

2. The OECD has a long history of working on all forms of exchange of information – on request, spontaneous, under the Multilateral Convention on Mutual Administrative Assistance in Tax Matters and in respect of the G20 Principles for Innovative Financial Inclusion.
Over the past few years much progress has been made by the OECD, EU and the Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes in improving transparency and exchange of information on request.
It's time now to move our political interest focusing the G20 Financial Inclusion Action Plan (FIAP) regarding the “regulations and standard setting bodies” area :
 -4. Mainstream financial inclusion in the work of the standard setting bodies and other relevant global bodies and increase understanding of the interdependence of financial inclusion, stability, integrity and consumers protection
-5. Encourage effective and consistent incorporation of financial inclusion in financial sector assessments

3. On 19 April 2013 the G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors endorsed automatic exchange as the expected new standard but they dont think about a preliminar negotiation exchange standard regulation. The G20 decision followed earlier announcements by a number of European countries of their intention to develop and pilot multilateral agreement in respect of ACTA US Public law Part II ‘SEC. 6038 in the absence of an european inright regulation.
On 13 April, Belgium, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Poland, and Romania also expressed interest in the original ACTA approach, which by May 14 had already been endorsed by 17 countries, with Mexico and Norway joining the initiative in early June and Australia in July. Further the United Kingdom agreed to automatically exchange information, on the basis of the intergovernmental approaches developed with the United States, with its Crown Dependencies and many of its Overseas Territories which also joined the pilot project.

4. On 22 May 2013 the EU Council unanimously agreed to give priority to efforts to extend automatic exchange at the EU and global level and welcomed the on-going efforts made in the G8, G20 and OECD to develop a new global standard. Shortly thereafter the OECD Ministerial called on “…all jurisdictions to move towards automatic exchange of information and to improve the availability, the quality and the accuracy of information on beneficial ownership, in order to effectively act against tax fraud and evasion.”

5. On 12 June the European Commission adopted a legislative proposal to extend the scope of automatic exchange of information in its directive on administrative co-operation to new items, including dividends, capital gains and account balances. It's important for the Commission then to clarify the condition under the present proposal about the opportunity in a pre-competitive strategy to act under the article 22 of EU 1189/2011Regulation.

6. Automatic exchange of information was also a key item on the G8 agenda. On 19 June the G8 leaders welcomed the OECD Secretary General report “A step change in tax transparency” which set out the concrete steps that need to be undertaken to put a global model of automatic exchange into practice.
G8 leaders agreed to work together with the OECD and in the G20 to implement its recommendations urgently so, the present proposal could be undertaken initially under the G8 framework.

7. On 20 July the G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors endorsed the OECD proposals for a global model of automatic exchange in the multilateral context.
On 6 September the G20 leaders reinforced this message, and said: “Calling on all other jurisdictions to join us by the earliest possible date, we are committed to automatic exchange of information as the new global standard, which must ensure confidentiality and the proper use of information exchanged, and we fully support the OECD work with G20 countries aimed at presenting such a single global standard for automatic exchange by February 2014 and to finalizing technical modalities of effective automatic exchange by mid-2014.”
They also asked the Global Forum to establish a mechanism to monitor and review the implementation of the new global standard on automatic exchange of information and stressed the importance of developing countries being able to benefit from a more transparent international tax system.
The global model of automatic exchange is drafted with respect to financial account information.
Many jurisdictions – OECD and non-OECD – already exchange information automatically with their exchange partners and also regionally (e.g. within the EU) on various categories of income and also transmit other types of information such as changes of residence, the purchase or disposition of immovable property, value added tax refunds, tax withheld at source, etc. The new global standard does not, nor is it intended to, restrict the other types or categories of automatic exchange of information. It sets out a minimum standard for the information to be exchanged. Jurisdictions may choose to exchange information beyond the minimum standard set out in this document.

  1. The Common Reporting Due Compliance Standard (“CRCDS”), with a view to maximizing efficiency and reducing cost for financial institutions, draws extensively on the internal market approach according the 2015 BEREC work programme. If the actual FATCA intergovernmental approach reporting does deviate in certain aspects from the CRCDS, the differences can be driven by the multilateral nature of the CRCDS in respect of US specific of G8 Report
    (http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32014R0910&from=EN)

Before to start this Negotiation exchange standard by the end of 2015 It's commended to control the progress of the global model for multilateral and bilateral automatic exchange of information in the area of tax transparency according the OECD proposal ensuring confidentiality and the proper use of information exchanged, with a fully support of OECD work with G20 countries to finalize technical coordinated modalities of effective negotation exchange standard by mid-2015. In parallel, it's expected to begin to exchange information automatically on tax matters among G20 members by the end of 2015.

  1. Key features of global negotiation exchange standard (NES) of virtual account information in derivatives .
For a model of negotiation exchange standard in the European market to be effective it must be specifically designed with a domestic regulation authorities compliance under the supervision of the European Union Agency for Network and Information Security (ENISA).
The first strategy goal of the EU is “achieving cyber resilience” and presents a federal legislative approach:
• establish common minimum requirements for NIS at national level which would oblige Member States to: designate national competent authorities for NIS; set up a wellfunctioning CERT; and adopt a national NIS strategy and a national NIS cooperation plan. Capacity building and coordination also concern the EU institutions: a Computer Emergency Response Team responsible for the security of the IT systems of the EU institutions, agencies and bodies ("CERT-EU") was permanently established in 2012.

• set up coordinated prevention, detection, mitigation and response mechanisms, enabling information sharing and mutual assistance amongst the national NIS competent authorities. National NIS competent authorities will be asked to ensure appropriate Euwide cooperation, notably on the basis of a Union NIS cooperation plan, designed to respond to cyber incidents with cross-border dimension. This cooperation will also build upon the progress made in the context of the "European Forum for Member States (EFMS)"14, which has held productive discussions and exchanges on NIS public policy and can be integrated in the cooperation mechanism once in place.

• improve preparedness and engagement of the private sector. Since the large majority of network and information systems are privately owned and operated, improving engagement with the private sector to foster cybersecurity is crucial. The private sector should develop, at technical level, its own cyber resilience capacities and share best practices across sectors. The tools developed by industry to respond to incidents, identify causes and conduct forensic investigations should also benefit the public sector.
Further, it needs to be standardised so as to benefit the maximum number of customers we need to recognize certain issues to be decided by local implementation and specific market applications. The advantage of standardisation is process simplification, higher effectiveness and increment the offer capacity for all stakeholders concerned. A proliferation of different and inconsistent models would potentially impose significant costs on both government and business to collect the necessary information and operate the different models. It could lead to a fragmentation of standards, which may introduce conflicting requirements, further increasing the costs of compliance and reducing effectiveness.
The global challenge of negotiation standard could be addressed to the most important laboratories of experimental economy: http://leem.lameta.univ-montp1.fr/index.php?page=labos&lang=fr.
Finally, because OMT (European Central Bank's outright monetary transactions (OMT) or bond-buying programme announced by Mario Draghi, president of the European Central Bank, in September 2012) is a global issue , the model needs to have a global reach so that it addresses the issue of offshore tax resilience recalculation .

The proposal for a Social Credit Execution Facility (SCEF)

An Overview
Legislative bodies in the U.S. and Europe are moving to increase regulation of the over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives market.
On  the side of the social network platforms like Facebook, a similar reform proposal can seek to achieve three key objectives:
  • Increase transparency
  • Improvesocial markets awareness efficiency
  • Prevent market abuse by the key players
Many reforms continue to be debated, one of which could concern the creation and definition of a Social Credit Execution Facility (SCEF) and its impact on how adwertisement and intellectual propriety trades are executed and cleared in social network platforms.
The expected role of a SCEF is to provide pre- and post-advertisement transparency, encourage collaborative execution for the entire capital marketplace, and provide the tools required to ensure a complete record and audit trail of shared trades. There could be a significant shift in the way shared trading is ultimately executed, and the users trust to be ahead of the curve for their friends.
Facebook is the leading provider of non-competitive electronic interest social networks ; an open collaborative rating platform with universal access representing more than 500,000 active users globally interconnected.
How derivatives are currently traded in the capital market of debt titles an can be present in social credit market
Over-the-counter, or "privately negotiated", derivatives are currently traded increasingly on electronic markets, . There are two sectors of the market: institutional dealer-to-client (D2C) and inter-dealer (D2D). These markets are approximately the same size in terms of trading volumes, but there are many more participants in the D2C marketplace than D2D.
In social platform the corrispondance is a traditional client-to-user (C2U) copyleft sector and inter-user (U2U) creative commons sector. C2U electronic trading shares are more then 50% of ther overall consumption time in user activities in front of less content creation consumption time.
Electronic debt trading system interfaced with a collaborative credit sharing system offers the benefits that are being sought by legislators, including increased transparency and equity, more competitive execution of social agreements, efficient trade and share processing content lifecycle vales (like the originate and distribute philosophy of the derivative but in a rational personal credit system ), and a complete and permanent audit trail user engagement. In the same time building a collaborative social credit execution facility for credit titles can stady a flexible and sustenable growth perspetive for financial (private)and social market together.
Currently, all exchange-traded and some OTC-traded derivatives contracts are cleared - the process in which financial transactions are cleared by a single (central) counterparty to reduce individual risk (see Figure 1). However, pending legislation could mandate central clearing for all standardized OTC swap contracts.

Figure 1: Central Feedback Clearing Process for OTC Deployment

 Central Feedback Clearing Process for OTC DeploymentCentral Feedback Clearing Process for OTC Deployment

Central feedback clearing of derivatives reduces counterparty risk and strengthens overall market integrity. It also helps with position segregation and portability in the event of a default, improves transparency for regulatory requirements and benefits the central management of trade lifecycle events, such as cash settlement with central counterparties and credit cash flow medium term open market operations. There are several select companies that provide derivative clearing services in the U.S. and Europe, and Tradeweb in this proposal is only taken for example .
The electronic links to the major derivatives clearing houses further aligned in social networks with a regulatory shift due to the needs of the marketplace, allows institutional clients to fully automate their content workflow both on settlement cleaqring houses and social platforms- (from trade execution through clearing feedback settlement and vice versa) (see Figure 2). Institutions are now able to better manage operational, systemic and global market systemic risk control.

. TUNISIA, EGYPT, AND HAPPY BALLS ...

Posted on Monday, February 14 @ 13:54:15 CST davide
 
ALBERTO B. Mariantonia mirorenzaglia.org
... Revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt? For now, I'm sure not. Tomorrow, however, are largely not attempt to exclude it at all!
But let's see why ...
A mass of brain specialists say, is scientifically proven that our brain - compared with a visible, tangible, alluring and luscious steaming plate of pasta, seasoned with plenty of tomatoes, fragrant basil and parmesan, or, prompted by a detailed, flattering andinviting symbolic or metaphorical description of the same meal - usually tend to react the same way. To the point that clinical scanned, it is even possible to identify and observe the intricacies of the gray matter - after inoculation, blood in the circuit, a special dye and harmless - the electric light-responsive neurons of equivalent reference.

This would mean that the human being, because of its natural and inevitable physiological limits, was not able, within his psyche, to be able to focus immediately, to identify and distinguish the "say" from "doing", the 'being' from the 'look', the actual "reality" by any "representation illustrative or narrative."
It is not inconceivable, therefore, that the current leaders of the various states and Western governments - closely assisted and supported in their unseemly role of the perfect butler in the service of occult powers, the majority of print media and audio-visual - it is fully aware of this particular human, are taking advantage of the unique mechanisms that peculiar specificity. And this, is to continue with impunity to promise what they are not ever be able to maintain, to manipulate or were told the ad hoc consciences of the people, is to perpetuate indefinitely and in behalf of international finance, the worst regimes that history has ever known: that, to be clear, liberal-capitalist-globalist. A system, the latter apparently political and essentially illegitimate usurper and that tends to spell out publicly and formally self-represented in the eyes of its directors, through a cunning and deceptive institutional model that we can certainly define a 'formal democracy', 'illusory', 'nominal', 'totalitarian' and 'despotic'.
Formal, since its citizens / subjects - if you exclude the ephemeral gesture that has given them power to go, from time to time, to vote for either of the "cunning" of the different factions in the field - are systematically excluded or marginalized from public life of their countries and studiously kept in ignorance of the real problems that afflict society.
Illusory, because the "model" institution in question - in complete and flagrant contradiction in terms with reality - claims that those who are not capable of governing or self-government, can fully evaluate and elect those who are destined to govern.
Nominal, because the system in question has simply preferred to replace - the meaning and substance to the sense of the word democracy (the government of the people, by the people, for the people ", as defined by Demosthenes) - the emptiness el 'inconsistency of the formal minutes of simple declamation and one "word". Trying to remedy that void substantial, with another set of abstract words in consonance compliant and polite, like "freedom" and "equality", the "brotherhood", the "solidarity" and "justice", the Rule of Law "," human rights "," humanitarianism "," tolerance ", the" moderation ", the" participation ", etc..
Totalitarian as those who, inside or outside of the model of "Democracy" does not agree to recognize the unquestionable legitimacy of its institutions, is immediately regarded as the 'personification of evil' and 'absolute enemy' society , and consequently, who will not submit to the 'gauntlet' of its subjective and arbitrary criteria for assessing and judging or of its normal election rules (which, of course, are shaped specifically to allow the perpetuation of that system invariable) is automatically and politically 'offside'.
Despotic, because the system in question - after you take an interest studiously concealed and made me forget the majority of citizens / subjects of the ancient and still valid concepts isonomia (equality of citizens against the law), Isotimia (the equal rightthat citizens had access to any function of the State) and Isegoria (freedom of expression enjoyed by all citizens) - does not hesitate at all to criminalize and bully those who disagree with his daily practice, and to promote and give priority to those who brazenly accepted unconditionally on the side of his 'official truth'. To the extent that the latter - to paraphrase George Orwell - "are always more equal than others."
Result: the liberal-capitalist system that seeks globalist-even "export", by force of arms, in his third Nations "model" institutional - thanks to television and the meticulous and effective sounding board that is offered daily from the rest mainstream media - has managed to impose volens nolens, a true 'single thought' (in the sense of vision alone, permitted or authorized, man, society and the world at the expense of all others) and alanguage 'politically correct' (in the sense of what you can or can not be said, state or public support, otherwise the ban, isolation, legal and administrative sanctions, civil death and the notch offender) to almost all countries around the world.
The same system also - from the height of his claim, never proved 'moral superiority' (which is nothing, in short, a vulgar and dishonest "moral" partisan in the sense of only "moral" allowed, permitted and authorized that is applied even to the detriment and prejudice of any form of authentic and harmonious' moral corporate 'and / or' policy ') - is also able to establish and to enforce in its own advantage, a concept of justice to' variable geometry ', valid for all occasions and situations, which will retain the right at the same time, subjective and arbitrary power play constantly and with impunity, on each "table" and in any kind of conflict, the comfortable and perverse role of' easy part cause ', for' fair trial ', of' exculpatory moral 'and' executioner 'service.
As the abused and constantly mocked player of our time will undoubtedly have guessed, if I allowed him this long and detailed introduction, it was simply potergli directly provide a series of 'interpretations' that, in life of all days, can certainly help to discern and to measure the degree of manipulation to which he, unfortunately, is constantly subjected, every day, from that system.
The most striking and instructive, we find him in the recent news of international developments: ie in the two so-called "revolutions" that took place, and in recent weeks on television, both in Tunisia and Egypt.
Now, in Tunisia and Egypt, there have been overt and bloody riots in some of those people against their regimes (that of President Ben Ali and that of President Mubarak) that, for decades (21 years and the first 30 years the second), were openly and scandalously backed and supported by most countries of the Western Block (USA-EU-Israel), I do not think, can generate any questioning.
Inside, however, of such countries, there have been, for the moment, the real and tangible popular revolutions that have paved the way for the next establishment of a true democracy (otherwise, then, from that earlier I took the liberty to examine and expose), the reader will pardon me, but - knowing closely the nature and inner workings of those countries and being aware of the obscene and shameful interests constantly pushing almost all Western countries to shore up and strengthen the kind of schemes - continued stubbornly to have my doubts more reasoned and documented!
In Tunisia, in fact, apart from the official theatrical and elimination of the "fuse" Ben Ali, I do not think anything has changed ...
On the contrary, the scheme originally established by President Burguiba back in 1956-1957 and thereafter maintained and improved by President Ben Ali, unabashedly continues to remain firmly on its structures ever (policy frameworks and government intelligence agencies, police and army) and to hold, until evidence to the contrary - although with the public and verbal promise to the people, and future of "free" elections ... - all the powers of the state.
The same is true of Egypt, where - after the official elimination of the "fuse" Mubarak and the formal promise to the insurgents in al-Tahrir Square, and future of "free" elections ... - everything remains as before. If not worse than before ... with the usual political and managerial staff, the usual army, the usual Secret Service and the usual police - as well as having previously taken care to dissolve the old parliament and suspended for six months, the application of constitutional guarantees - seraphically continue to control, with the usual political and diplomatic approval of the West, almost all the nerve centers (military, political, economic, cultural, administrative, legal and civil rights) of the country.
Yet, thanks to the emphatic, focused and misleading manipulations made by almost all of the media embedded in the world, everything looks really changed.
As if by magic, in fact, the Tunisian and Egyptian regime is suddenly seen as "liberal," "tolerant", "open to dialogue", "ready to make any concession." And the same countries (the United States and the European Union in the head!) That until recently they had endorsed and strengthened (with blows of billions of dollars or euro ...) the existence, and supported and encouraged, by their official or unofficial satisfaction, the most repulsive and generalized repressive practices, tend today to wave to and blatantly to compete with each other in the eyes of the world and live on television to declare that "always" ... advocates and promoters of the "new" course policy in those states. All this, of course, in the name of the usual and magical word, "democracy", abundantly filled, as usual, with the usual beautiful and enticing other words outline we know: "freedom, equality, brotherhood, "solidarity" and "justice", "rule of law", "Human Rights", "humanitarianism," "tolerance," "moderation," "participation", etc..
The "people" bull, unfortunately, once again, and it is sad to have to realize - probably having forgotten or never knew the wise and prescient reflections of Étienne de La Boétie (1530-1563), in his 'Discours sur la servitude volontaire' - was made again and naively convince the regulars and hired "snake oil salesmen" of some international press that the ferocious and rapacious tyrants of their countries were only two: Ben Ali (Tunisia) and Mubarak (Egypt), assisted in the most by any of their close relative, friend or acquaintance ... And, once again, the "people ox," he "take the bait" of the same old misinformation.
For now, therefore, in Tunisia and Egypt, to my knowledge, it does not appear that there has been something new. Indeed, as in the past: no freedom (horreya), no democracy (dimuqratya), no social justice ('Adala igtimaya), no end to corruption (al-fasad), no end in unemployment (al-Batal).
So, for now, all happy and balls ...
And that, until the day ... the man in the street - both within the always mocked, betrayed and martyred in our Arab world that enslaved and harassed - Europe able to really become aware of his unenviable condition of vulgar and humiliated puppet in the hands of the greatest criminals that history has so far been able to experience. And free, with their forces, both by his treacherous, intralcianti rooted and conditioned reflexes that its long-standing, humiliating and degrading slavery.
So yes, that - in different countries of the opposite sides of the Mediterranean and with no "live" television ... - we certainly an occasion or opportunity to see some good!

COPYRIGHT AND ELECTRONIC NETWORKS

AUTHORITY RESPONSABILITY IN COPYRIGHT PROTECTION ACTIVITY ON
ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS: INDEPENDENT CONSULTATION
independent draft of AGCOM original text featured by Valter Conti
    . Premise
    Digital content is a key element in the development of the European single market: the spread access to broadband Internet and the development of advanced mobile networks, with the possibility of transform any type of digital content, and process it privately by individual users, faces continuously new cultural perspectives for consumers and new opportunities to develop a democatic and sustainable content industry.
    At Community level, the digital single market is considered the "fifth freedom", and its development is considered a priority. Moreover, the ICT sector represents 5% of GDP Community, each day there are more than 250 millions of Internet users and is estimated that auntil 2020 many digital content and applications provided by users will be deployed, evaluated and funded through Internet.
    However, even today 30% of EU citizens did not never used the Internet, the number of downloads of files music downloads is ¼ than the United States, the penetration rate of the fiber optic only 1% ( against 2% in the U.S., 12% in Japan and 15% in South Korea) the EU is spending on ICT research and development the 40% of corresponding expenditure in the U.S.
    The Authority has in recent annual reports repeatedly expressed the view that underestimate the potential of the digital market  eans losing a unique opportunity to economic and social development: the access to the media content stimulates the demand for transmission capacity and this in the same time encourages investment on next generation networks and allows both a orderly and democratic content development.
    The launch of NGN networks, in turn, promotes the creation of innovative services that will be developed on these networks (web 2.0, web 3.0 etc.).
    Among the stimuli to the spread of the digital economy plays an important role the presence of copyright.
    Rules and annexed rights with an appropriate technological development and engagement of those rights exercice using of contents by users.
    The criticality of the current regulatory framework on copyright in Italy stems from the fact that the ability to deliver and exchange content takes place in an economic regime of monopoly by a national public body (SIAE). The fact that, against a single licensee for collection of rights, the content is deployed without the legitimate owners are in a position to exercise significant any effective right to control personally and to perceive then the potential remuneration including those arising from the right then leads to the development of injury creativity and freedom of expression, therefore, to choices available to the public (as a public opinion and then how to protect natural competition) and consumers / users.
    The rules of copyright would, in fact, on the one hand, protect freedom of expression and second, the guarantee of the right side of the privacy; allow an equitable remuneration to the author and equitable sharing of the remuneration of resale rights on the part of collective marks and CTM. This last aspect is, moreover, a fundamental principle of Community Communications electronic equipment inside the EU.
    On the issue of copyright online, has developed In recent years a wide debate focused primarily on more effective measures to combat piracy. This approach, which has always been driven by the need to protect the 'author' before the "consumer" has led to the adoption in many countries, measures contrast based primarily on bans and sanctions.
    The practical effects of such a type of reaction in a monopoly like the Italian, however, are at least doubtful especially considering that the consumer can be an author who in turn radically changes the contents of the free access content available and then produces a new content totally different from the original work, though inspired by this. It would be appropriate to identify a pattern of adjustment that rests on the allocation of fair value also rights for reuse of those consumers who, having free access to online content, but simultaneously, redistribute, and recreate the same content supporting the authors of original works and in some cases creating "new" content otherwise impossible to be contemplated without the availability and free legal original works in the same network. It should also be in view that the Authority may settle. Disputes between the representative associations for the protection of consumers and users and by intermediaries that carry the supply of connectivity of the content on the web. In this sense, on the floor of a prudent and preventive action any government policy or intervention Piracy contrast can not be separated from the coeval promotion of measures aimed at fostering the provision legal content available to the public: policies that look to one of these two issues are doomed to fail or to produce further difficulties and inability to cope distortions of the market and competition, as demonstrates the ineffectiveness of technical counter-piracy and the current lack of incomes of social networking despite their exceptional spread. For more towards overcoming the logic of punitive-repressive requires that the action of public authorities do not regulators to take charge on an objective basis of identification and reconfiguration of the effective relocation of the current account in currency financial intermediaries approved by a reform accordingly. In this context, the legislature, with a series of subsequent regulatory action has identified the Authority for guarantees in communications as the person best suited for technical competence and institutional mission in Community dimension, to further the action of synthetic between the interests of authors, on the one hand and consumers / users on the other.
    The Act also entrusts the Authority powers to terms of preventing too large, and assessment of offenses under framework that protects intellectual property. These leading powers also consider provide coordination with the ordinary moments of Local Bodies Chambers as guarantors of CTM and exercise, even Community of intellectual property rights.
    2. The existing legal framework and the role of the Communications Authority
     
The first traces of regulations governing the Authority jurisdiction regarding the copyright cane from f the original warranty in the industry audiovisual (the Guarantor for broadcasting and Publishing), which was also entrusted with the task of supervising compliance by the the public broadcaster and private licensees for broadcasting, "the laws and conventions international telecommunications and use of intellectual works "(Article 15, paragraph 8 of Law No. 223/90, only recently repealed by art. 54, D. lgs. N. 177/2005, cd. Consolidated Broadcasting).
From that primitive normative element is registered, to the extent that worsened the problemc onsidered, a growing conferment of jurisdiction specific to this Authority, by law on August 18 2000, no 248, which operated the first formal investiture of this Administration, to the more Recent Legislative Decree 44/2010, better known as "Decree Romani ".
In that decree, the providers of Italian media services excluded from our jurisdiction are identified by the operators:
        a) making use of an up-link satellite (uplink) located in Italy;

Technical resource for a standard project cycle assestment in scientific research

University Quality Circle Decision Support Teams:
Technical resource for a standard projects cycle assestment



I propose a standard Project&Process management using item-driven network management reaction model introduced in the post regarding the social networks integration. In case of Universities the Quality Assestment Team is the Supervisor user for total quality management and business rules come from the internal peer-review freedback scoreflow until follow-up phase1 of the projects lifecycles.


Description: This diagram shows a timeline overview that places all of the research objectives on a 2-year timeline. Both Knowledge Management Lifecycle and Item Specification start at the beginning of year one and go until the end of year one. Code Development Portal & Repository begins in year one and goes for the entire time period, to the end of year two. Both Financial Web Services Development and Vendor/Insitutional Recommendation start begins half-way through year one and ends half-way through year two. Follow-up Phase 1 begins half-way through year two and ends at the end of year two. Both Evaluation and Dissemination run the length of the two-year timeline.

Global market social networks integration

The proposal for a Social Credit Execution Facility (SCEF)


An Overview
Legislative bodies in the U.S. and Europe are moving to increase regulation of the over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives market.
On  the side of the social network platforms like Facebook, a similar reform proposal can seek to achieve three key objectives:
  • Increase transparency
  • Improvesocial markets awareness efficiency
  • Prevent market abuse by the key players
Many reforms continue to be debated, one of which could concern the creation and definition of a Social Credit Execution Facility (SCEF) and its impact on how adwertisement and intellectual propriety trades are executed and cleared in social network platforms.
The expected role of a SCEF is to provide pre- and post-advertisement transparency, encourage collaborative execution for the entire capital marketplace, and provide the tools required to ensure a complete record and audit trail of shared trades. There could be a significant shift in the way shared trading is ultimately executed, and the users trust to be ahead of the curve for their friends.
Facebook is the leading provider of non-competitive electronic interest social networks ; an open collaborative rating platform with universal access representing more than 500,000 active users globally interconnected.
How derivatives are currently traded in the capital market of debt titles an can be present in social credit market
Over-the-counter, or "privately negotiated", derivatives are currently traded increasingly on electronic markets, . There are two sectors of the market: institutional dealer-to-client (D2C) and inter-dealer (D2D). These markets are approximately the same size in terms of trading volumes, but there are many more participants in the D2C marketplace than D2D.
In social platform the corrispondance is a traditional client-to-user (C2U) copyleft sector and inter-user (U2U) creative commons sector. C2U electronic trading shares are more then 50% of ther overall consumption time in user activities in front of less content creation consumption time.
Electronic debt trading system interfaced with a collaborative credit sharing system offers the benefits that are being sought by legislators, including increased transparency and equity, more competitive execution of social agreements, efficient trade and share processing content lifecycle vales (like the originate and distribute philosophy of the derivative but in a rational personal credit system ), and a complete and permanent audit trail user engagement. In the same time building a collaborative social credit execution facility for credit titles can stady a flexible and sustenable growth perspetive for financial (private)and social market together.


Currently, all exchange-traded and some OTC-traded derivatives contracts are cleared - the process in which financial transactions are cleared by a single (central) counterparty to reduce individual risk (see Figure 1). However, pending legislation could mandate central clearing for all standardized OTC swap contracts.
Figure 1: Central Feedback Clearing Process for OTC Deployment

Central feedback clearing of derivatives reduces counterparty risk and strengthens overall market integrity. It also helps with position segregation and portability in the event of a default, improves transparency for regulatory requirements and benefits the central management of trade lifecycle events, such as cash settlement with central counterparties and credit cash flow medium term open market operations. There are several select companies that provide derivative clearing services in the U.S. and Europe, and Tradeweb in this proposal is only taken for example .
The electronic links to the major derivatives clearing houses further aligned in social networks with a regulatory shift due to the needs of the marketplace, allows institutional clients to fully automate their content workflow both on settlement cleaqring houses and social platforms- (from trade execution through clearing feedback settlement and vice versa) (see Figure 2). Institutions are now able to better manage operational, systemic and global market systemic risk control.
