time to move on

[Frannie Wellings]

Yes, Kathy, thank you so much for all that you've done for the
constituency and for the issues you've supported. We're all very
fortunate to have worked with you and benefited from your tireless
efforts!

 

Best,

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.
