Hi!

I'm agree with Sebastian. Here (in latin america) we take the privacy issue 
like a extension of constitucional law. You have the privacy like a human 
right, (in a first level).

Just we started to create "special policies" for the data protection (that 
is the special issue for the whois), but the NGO (in special human rights) 
make a lot of work in data protection by constitucional area, (don't forget 
in latin america, the democracy is very "difficult to find" (to say something).

In esence we are a third way, with a protection of privacy in 
constitutional level, not like europe (government office, and policy), or 
like europe (each state, national policy).

So, we need to "assume" a data protection general, (all the countries in 
spanish-latin america and brasil have habeas data), but don't have a 
special policy (just en argentina and costa rica starting with this)

Well this to start!
