NCSG Statement on .cat proceeding in ICANN Public Comment Forum

[Baudouin SCHOMBE]

Hi Robin,

This is a very important detail specifically for our African countries
and, more
particularly, to the DRC. I will approach this proposed at the meeting of
the IGF DRC.

> At the same time, we do not believe the request offers the opt-out opportunity
> broadly enough to satisfy all legitimate privacy needs. The NCSG believes there

> institutional types are organizations that:
>
> * protect natural persons,
>
> * deal with political freedoms,
>
> * deal with religious freedoms,
>
> * deal with sexual preference and expression,
>
> * deal with political minorities,
>
> * deal with religious minorities, and parents' groups that deal with children's
> activities such as sports teams, home-schooling and other childcare issues.
>
> As the privacy of natural persons is protected within the EU Data Protection
> Directive, political parties and minority speech are protected within the
> privacy rules in other national laws. Given that gTLDs are global, it will be
> important to take all national laws into account.
>
> The NCSG further expresses concern that law enforcement and third party access
> to the data should be consistent with due process protections. We urge
> development of these disclosure procedures in conjunction with the Community.
