a day ago
- The author is joining the TIB, a three-member board that reviews warrants for Dutch intelligence services for legality starting December 1st.
- The TIB includes two judges and one technical expert, with the author serving as the technical member, a role added after a 2016 law rewrite.
- The appointment process involved interviews with supreme court presidents and the Ombudsman, parliamentary selection, a high-level security clearance, and a royal decree.
- The author previously worked at the AIVD from 2003 to 2006 and left DNS/PowerDNS to pursue this oversight role.
- The job is secret, but the oversight board's visibility is policy, allowing the author to discuss the role's existence but not its specifics.
