[NCUC-DISCUSS] Important note on Privacy at ICANN

[Mueller, Milton L]

So based on second-hand reports it seems that Peter Vergote’s explanation was completely false. The session consisted almost entirely of presentations by the panelists and there was almost no discussion from the floor. I leave it to people who were there to confirm or contest this statement.

A must read twice post. Highly recommended. We hope Stephanie will be there and take part in the discussion. Others too should attend the session and participate in the discussion cuz Peter has already said "It’s the audience that is playing the lead role in this session and not the panel!" and as Milton comments "I won’t be in Johannesburg. but a lot of angry noncommercial registrants will be."
best.

Dear All,

As this blog post shows  https://www.icann.org/news/blog/dialogues-on-the-evolving-data-privacy-and-protection-regulations ICANN is now thinking about how to comply with the European General Data Protection Regulation ahead of the time. Which is good news because they might, after all, do something about privacy.

But, and I mentioned this to the CEO, they are working with the registries and registrars and I am not sure with who else. We are not sure when and where registrants are represented in this task force:

" At the direction of ICANN president and CEO Göran Marby, we formed an internal GDPR Task Force comprised of senior leaders and subject matter experts to focus on this important matter. This team is focused on parallel tracks: contracted parties and engagement, and the ICANN organization. In relation to the latter, an internal review of our operations is currently underway."


Also the blog invites the Johannesburg attendees and remote participants to the cross community session on GDPR. I was involved with organizing that session and I argued repeatedly to have a  registrant representative on that panel (Stephanie) to no avail. At least I managed to insert "registrants" in the description and the group supported that addition. So I criticized the way it was arranged. But I do encourage you to attend it: https://schedule.icann.org/event/B3ot/gdpr-and-its-potential-impact-looking-for-practical-solutions

Best
