you recall, at the request of
multiple WG members, we decided in
early June to engage a law firm with
experience in European data
protection law to provide our WG
with independent answers to the same
questions we asked the European data

year. The final report from that

are requested to review this report
by Friday of this week if possible.
The leadership team has prepared a
list of principles that are
excerpted from the WSGR Final Report
and/or from the Data Expert answers
that we think will be relevant to
our ongoing work. We have asked the
small advisory group that we formed
in early June to review the
principles and let us know if the
excerpts are accurate and complete.
After they have had time to respond,
we will finalize the principles
document and send it to the full WG
for all to review; our goal is to do
that by the end of this week so that
we can use it in our WG meeting next
week.</span></p>

the information the Data Protection
experts provided has been confirmed
by WSGR in their final report,
albeit with more detail in some
cases. We also believe that our
objective of obtaining an
independent analysis of the
questions has been met, so it is now
time for us to put the information
to use in answering the first four
questions in our charter and that is
the plan starting next week. To
facilitate that, the principles will
be mapped to the first four charter
questions, a task that is now
underway.</span></p>

received answers from the Data

bias so we obtained an independent
analysis. That analysis confirms
the information that we had already
been given with some clarifying
insights. It is now time to apply
that information to our deliberation
and finish answering critical
questions in our charter and develop
