Subject: [NCUC-DISCUSS] time to move on



Dear Friends in NCUC:
I am sending this note to let you know of my leaving the Whois TF, and
shortly, the Constituency.  As many of you know, it has been some time since
I represented an organization in the NCUC (ACM's Internet Governance
Project) and I have served informally as a legal and policy counsel to our
constituency since that time.

My big contribution, I think, was the Whois Task Force.  Over 4 1/2 years
and thousands of hours of work, we:
             - achieved recognition of the fact that privacy and data
protection exist around the world, protect fundamental rights, and
absolutely apply to the personal data in the Whois database.
             - publicized the comments and calls for privacy from Data
Protection Commissioners, including most recently in Marrakech (where the
comments of the Article 29 Working Party Chair received great attention)
             - held a pivotal, timely, standing room only conference in
Vancouver on Whois issues with a unique combination of ccTLDs, gTLDs, and
outside telecom privacy experts.

But my ability to work on behalf of the NCUC is now ended.  Effective
immediately, I must resign my WHOIS TF representation and move on to other
projects.  I will stay in the Constituency, if you would like, for a week or
two -- to help bring a new TF representative up to speed.  But I have to
move quickly to other waiting work.

There is an important Whois TF meeting this Monday at 10:30 AM EST.
I hope someone can attend.

Regards, Kathy
p.s.   You will find the Privacy Laws spreadsheet and other Whois documents
at NCDNHC.ORG on the Archives page.  NCDNHC.ORG under What's New includes an
Agenda for the Vancouver Whois conference with wonderful slides from many
speakers.
