I think you just need to up your numbers a bit Michael...I might get 
more in small claims Court these days!  (Don't got there, it is just a 
comparator).

cheers Stephanie

PS still pondering the whole issue of giving up rights...Doubt I would 
ever buy it. What happens if data subject finds out subsequently that 
their data has been sold to criminal gangs?  (think equifax, choicepoint 
cases here).  Remember that I am not just talking about WHOIS data in a 
tiered access case....I am assuming that queries will also lead to 
direct contact with registrars to get financial data. We should not 
build two systems here...

I just find that problematic.

>
>     What I tried to do in my proposal was model that seed of compromise that was so successful almost 20 years ago in connection with the UDRP.  As Kathy noted there are ADR components in the Privacy Shield that provide for the resolution of disputes.  You are also correct that there are requirements that businesses pay for these services and there are no fees to Data Subjects, which creates the potential for abuse.  That is why I have been looking to modify the JAMS ADR rules to perhaps find a middle ground that balances the respect rights of the Data Subject and Controller/Processor.

>     In speaking with a number of privacy attorneys, Data Subject rarely get compensated for violations of their rights, although DPA can impose substantial fines against the Controller/Processor.  The sweet spot I was looking at in connection with the ADR mechanism was something URS "like". I think this group and ICANN has done a really good job delineating under what set of circumstances a request can be legally made. In fact I think it would be constructive if a User enumerated at the time of the search what basis they were acting upon.  The URS "like" ADR process would make use of templates for the complaint and response forms and NO formal written opinion by the panel just a summary decision.

>     I am still surveying privacy professionals but I think a fine in the range of $250 to $500 for a violation of the terms of services would not be unreasonable.   However, this is still at the spaghetti throwing stage.  The other important mechanism is the need to have a disincentive for people to abuse the system by filing abusive requests.  There may be the need for some type of speed bump mechanism to mitigate against abusive filings.  Still noodling on this safeguard but would appreciate any group feedback.
