[gnso-thickwhois-dt] a modest amendment to our charter point on "privacy and data protection"

["Mike O'Connor" <mike@xxxxxxxxxx>]

hi all,

Avri wasn't able to make the last-minute-Monday call to hammer on this last 
remaining issue.  she and i visited a bit about this yesterday and came up with 
the following amendment to one of our bullets.

i view this as a friendly amendment in that is does a better job of defining 
the "container" for the "rights" discussion in our charter.  yes, it's a bit 
broader, but i don't think it's *that* much broader and it does a good job of 
clarifying the issue i was trying to push us through too quickly on the last 
"normal" call.

sorry about the late-breaking news.  i'd be really interested to hear from 
people who have a violent reaction.  as i said, i think this a modest and 
helpful clarification of the charter topic.

and data protection, also taking into account the involvement of different 
jurisdictions with different laws and legislation with regard to data privacy 
as well as possible cross border transfers of registrant data?


Proposed language:

Impact on rights: how would ‘thick’ Whois affect rights such as Privacy, 
Freedom of Expression and Freedom of Association as well as adherence to data 
protection regulations,  taking into account the involvement of different 
jurisdictions with different laws and legislation with regard to data privacy 
as well as possible cross border transfers of registrant data?
