    I had asked Lisa to add some core documents from the Data protection
    authorities to the wiki.  Here is an attempt to come up with a
    shortlist.  Many documents not listed here deal with aspects of our
    work, but I do realize most people are not sufficiently interested
    in data protection to read this background material.<br>

    There are two key sites where the data commissioners have posted
    their various interventions with ICANN over the years.  For the
    International Working Group on Data Protection in Telecommunications
    and Media (aka the Berlin Group) the site is here:
