[registrars] FW: Registrar Invitation to the Privacy Conference
hi all, NCUC is organizing a session on Whois on Tuesday at Vancouver. All interested Registrars are encouraged to participate. Please find the agenda attached bhavin _____ From: KathrynKL@xxxxxxx [mailto:KathrynKL@xxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, November 21, 2005 5:03 AM To: bhavin.t@xxxxxxxxxxx Cc: bruce.tonkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; ross@xxxxxxxxxx; Jordyn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; tom@xxxxxxxxxx; mueller@xxxxxxx; ca@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Registrar Invitation to the Privacy Conference Bhavin: On behalf of the Noncommercial Users Constituency, I would like to invite the Registrar Constituency to join us for the Privacy Conference "Building Bridges on ICANN's Whois Questions." This conference will take place on Tuesday, 11/29 at 2:30PM at the Westin in Vancouver. Originally we feared a conflict between the .COM meeting and the Privacy Conference, but both meetings have been adjusted to accommodate each other. On behalf of all the Privacy Conference sponsors -- including NCUC, PIR and the Registry Constituency -- we would like to invite the Registrar Constituency to join us in exploring conflicts between data protection laws and the Registrar's Whois obligations under the RAA. Ultimately, it is Registrars on the legal line --- and that hardly seems right. Please feel free to circulate the agenda below (attached in formatted version). We hope your members can come! Regards, Kathryn Kleiman/NCUC ------------------------------------------------- Privacy Conference ---------------------------------------------Privacy Conference: Building Bridges on ICANN's Whois Questions Sponsors: Noncommercial Users Constituency, The Public Interest Registry, The Registry Constituency and Cole, Raywid & Braverman LLP Tuesday, November 29th, 2:30 PM - 6:00 PM Stanley Park Ballroom 3 (Westin Hotel) Agenda Keynote Speaker: Ms. 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.) 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? Session III: The Future of the gTLD Whois Databases: Registrars, Registries and NCUC Present Their New Plans for the WHOIS Databases Registries, Registrar and Noncommercial Users Constituency recently put forward different plans to change the gTLD Whois Database to provide protection for personal data. For the first time in a public forum, they will present and discuss their proposals. (This session also will feature considerable time for questions and discussion with the audience.) Questions/RSVP: If you have any questions regarding this event, please contact Kathryn Kleiman of the Noncommercial Users Constituency at KathrynKl@xxxxxxx. Open to All Attachment:
