I will do my best to make the call next week, but am travelling so may 
not manage it.  Since I am the one querying the suggestion that 
protecting the data and the names of the individuals under the rubric of 
privacy is a wee bit off base, believing instead that people should be 
accountable for what they are putting in their polling data, here is my 
view, for what it is worth.

1.  ICANN is fundamentally an open, transparent multistakeholder 
organization where pdps are open to all.  There is an expectation that 
there will be robust debate and that people will be accountable for the 
views they wish to express.  IF a person wishes to watch what is 
happening and not participate, they can monitor and thereby not be 
forced to express a view. Participation in the working group should mean 
that one's expectations of privacy in terms of opinions expressed is 
very limited.  I would like to hear the arguments for such an opinion, 
if anyone has advanced them.

2.  In this respect, if an organization sends a representative to attend 
a pdp and they do not have the authority to speak for the organization 
without vetting/checking, they have a number of options:  a) omit the 
survey b) fill it out in their own name with caveats that they do not 
represent the organization c) get the survey questions and consult on 
the answers.  I don't really think it is acceptable for organizations to 
anonymously fill out the survey, just as I don't buy the privacy 
argument from individuals.

3.  The data is useful to those of us who are trying to understand where 
people are coming from.  As I have said numerous times, we all view 
these matters from our own perspectives and knowledge base.  I am trying 
to understand the degree to which people still do not understand privacy 
concepts, which I think I can detect from their answers.  (others may 
wonder why I still don't understand how the RDS works, fair enough says 
I!  CHeck my data, it might help you detect necessary educational 
opportunities...) I am also interested in the variance across questions, 
cumulative totals per SG, etc etc).

4. At a rather fundamental level, data that is used by us even to form 
rough concepts of concensus should be accessible to all in my view. This 
is very controversial topic which has caused considerable conflict over 
the years, let us try to minimize any potential for later questions or 
distrust by ensuring all data is available.

There are ways around this problem of disclosure vs non-disclosure.

1.  Inform people that polling data will be available.  Forwarned.

2.  RElease data minus the name.  However, folks will be guessing who is 
from what constituency, and frankly we must have the constituency data. 
Normally for disclosure of PI for people in groups we go by the rule of 
4.....rarely are there 4 NCSG folks filling out the polls, so you can 
identify us anyway, this may be different for other groups.  I think 
this one is a non-starter but there it is.

3.  Seek consent.  As discussed above, I don't think the privacy 
arguments hold water; it is bad policy to seek consent on something that 
you could not /should not protect in the first place.  Also a 
non-starter in my view, but there it is.

Again, I hope to make the call next week but wanted to start off this 
discussion on the list in case I don't make it.

Cheers STephanie
