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

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

hi all,

i have been quiet, but i'm far from disinterested and commend the conversation.

here are a couple ideas to keep the conversation moving.

- i think it would be helpful if *we* could arrive at a mutually-agreeable 
place in advance of the Council meeting on Wednesday

- i'd ask us to focus on the actual wording to see if there's a middle ground

i think the key for us is to craft a "container" within which the rights 
discussion can take place in the WG, rather than viewing this as a conversation 
about whether that discussion should take place at all.  i'm thinking that the 
conversation will happen during the WG, no matter what we as a drafting team 
(or the Council for that matter) do.

Avri, i'd like to throw the ball back to you.  the first-round amended language 
doesn't seem to be getting a lot of traction.  would you like to take a run at 
synthesizing the comments on this thread into a revised version of the language 
that would still meet your objectives?  

thanks,

mikey  


Current language:

Impact on privacy and data protection: how would ‘thick’ Whois affect privacy 
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?


1st- round 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?
