Agenda
Keynote Speaker: Commissioner Heather H. Black, Assistant Privacy
Commissioner of Canada
Session I: Coming into Compliance: ccTLDs Change Their Whois Databases
This session profiles ccTLDs on three continents who have changed their
Whois procedures (or are in the midst of changing them) based on national data
protection 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.)
Speakers:
Kim von Arx, General Counsel and Director of Policy Development, Canadian
Internet Registration Authority (CIRA)
Lesley Cowley, Chief Executive, Nominet UK
Yumi Ohashi, Japan Registry Services Co., Ltd. (JPRS) (invited)
Session II: Experts on Other Areas of Telecommunications and Internet
Privacy
The Whois debate takes place within the larger context of
telecommunications and Internet privacy, but in the ICANN community we rarely
refer to
outside models. How do telephone companies, ISPs and others handle requests
for
personal data, including chatroom and email identities? What do these models
offer in our work on the Whois questions?
Speakers:
Drew McArthur, Drew McArthur, Vice President Corporate Affairs and
Privacy Officer, TELUS Communications Inc.
Christopher Savage, Esq., Head of Telecom and Internet Practice, Cole,
Raywid & Braverman LLP
Session III: Ideas for the Future of the gTLD Whois Databases: Some
Proposals for Reform
Registries, Registrar and Noncommercial Users Constituency recently
put forward different plans to change the gTLD Whois Database to provide
protection for domain name registrant data. For the first time in a public
forum,
they will present and discuss their proposals. The US Federal Trade
Commission's International Division of Consumer Protection will present
concerns with
change. (This session also will feature considerable time for questions and
discussion with the audience.)
