I am pleased to announce that a longtime goal has come to fruition. The NCUC will host a privacy/data protection meeting in Vancouver called "Building Bridges on ICANN's Whois Dilemma!" It will be a wonderful meeting of experts on Internet privacy and data protection laws and policies, ccTLDs changing their WHOIS to protect our personal data (such as Canada's .CA), and new plans for the Whois from Registries, Registrars and our own constituency.<BR>
<BR>
Please plan to come! We need your participation, ideas and interest!<BR>
<BR>
Where: ICANN's Vancouver Meeting<BR>
When: Tuesday, November 29th, 2:30-6:30 PM <BR>
What: 3 Panel presentations; lots of Audience participation <BR>
<BR>
With thanks to our Chair, Executive Committee and GNSO Council for your support. Also thanks to the Registry Constituency, PIR and Cole, Raywid and Braverman (a DC law firm) for their sponsorship. <BR>
<BR>
Regards,<BR>
Kathy (Kleiman)<BR>
