Privacy Conference:  Building Bridges on ICANN’s Whois Dilemma
Vancouver ICANN Meeting
Tuesday, November 29th,  2:30 PM – 6:30 PM (Still to be finalized)
Draft Agenda

    Session I:  Data Protection Commissioners, ccTLDs and Registrars

    This session invites Data Protection Commissioners to discuss their data 
protection laws.  It also profiles several ccTLDs and Registrars who have 
changed their Whois procedures (or are in the midst of changing them) based on 
these laws.  What are the changes?  How are they working?  How do they allow 
personal data to be made available to those who need it?  (This session will 
feature considerable time for questions and discussion with the audience.)


    Session II: Experts on Other Areas of Internet Privacy 

    The Whois debate takes place within the larger context of Internet 
privacy, but in the ICANN community we rarely refer to outside models.  How do 
online service providers, ISPs and others handle requests for personal data in 
other Internet areas, including chatroom and email identities?  What do these 
models offer in our work on the Whois dilemma?


    Session III:  Registrars, Registries and NCUC Present Their New Plans for 
the WHOIS Databases 

    Registries, Registrar and Noncommercial Users Constituency recently put 
forward different plans to change the gTLD Whois Database to provide protection 
for personal data.  For the first time in a public forum, they will present 
and discuss their proposals.  (Considerable time for input and discussion with 
the audience planned.)  
 
Building Bridges to the Public.  This Conference will reach out to civic and 
social Internet-based organization throughout the world.  Attracting new 
organizations with their insights and concerns will help infuse the Conference and 
GNSO Whois process with a new level of interest and relevance. 
    
Questions/Suggestions.   If you have questions, suggestions for speakers, or 
organizations you think should be invited, please contact Kathryn Kleiman of 
the Noncommercial Users Constituency at KathrynKl at aol.com.
