Re: [ga] Re: [governance] Civil Society Groups and Privacy Expertes Release Madrid Declaration

Jeff,
 
In reading this through it looked a little like some pandering was going on.  I 
really did not see any victim statement or passion in the argument against 
increased making public that which should be private.  Seems like this should 
be coming from practical losers in the violations of privacy.  This looks more 
like a philosopher ruler hypothetical decree of morality. So I am wondering who 
funds such academic adventures.

Katitza and all,
 
  This IMO is good stuff.  What worries many or our INEGroup members is that 
still most
of ICANN's registrars are not on board here and seem determined to remain 
largely
disinterested in Registrants as well as non-registrant users privacy what so 
ever.

Civil Society Groups and Privacy Experts Release Madrid Declaration, Reaffirm 
International Privacy Laws, Identify New Challenges and Call for Concrete 
Action to Safeguard Privacy

In a crisply worded declaration, over 100 civil society organizations and 
privacy experts from more than 40 countries have set out an expansive statement 
on the future of privacy. The Madrid Declaration affirms that privacy is a 
fundamental human right and reminds "all countries of their obligations to 
safeguard the civil rights of their citizens and residents." The Madrid 
Declaration warns that "privacy law and privacy institutions have failed to 
take full account of new surveillance practices." The Declaration urges 
countries "that have not yet established a comprehensive framework for privacy 
protection and an independent data protection authority to do so as 
expeditiously as possible." The civil society groups and experts recommend a 
"moratorium on the development or implementation of new systems of mass 
surveillance." Finally, the Declaration calls for the "establishment of a new 
international framework for privacy protection, with the full
 participation of civil society, that is based on the rule of law, respect for 
fundamental human rights, and support for democratic institutions." The Madrid 
Declaration was released at the Public Voice conference in Madrid on Global 
Privacy Standards. Multiple translations of the Declaration are available.
