[council] Suggestion for membership criteria of proposed Expedited Policy Development Process

Wed Jun 13 01:10:43 UTC 2018

I'll repeat a point I made in chat today: requiring and providing training is not excluding, but requiring certification is. Actually, for who is paying for the training, the actual knowledge is more important than the certification, which only benefits the certified person. So while I would find reasonable that someone that happens to have a certification to excuse himself/herself from the training, I don't see us establishing a certification as requisite.

And if that changes the price, every certification (opposed to training) should come on that person's dime, not GNSO's. And while I like IAPP because it seems to have a more neutral tone instead of the Europe x World Manichaeism, I believe we could look at other options.

As for themes, I think that the other than GDPR could come from our internal development efforts. For instance, picket fence, trademarks, abuse investigation, registrar operations, RDAP... let me throw people under the bus without consulting them just to indicate how we could provide primer sessions on these angles making for a "Renaissance" WG:
Picket Fence - Becky Burr
Trademarks - Heather Forrest
Abuse investigation - Dave Piscitello
Registrar operations - Michele Neylon
RDAP - Scott Hollenbeck

But, if we are going to go down the path of exclusion, and I hope we don’t, it shouldn’t just be for one privacy skill set which would result in an unbalanced ePDP WG.  I think some 101 in both GDPR and Trademarks is more than sufficient to ensure everyone on the ePDP WG has a common vocabulary.  I’m surprised by the resistance on the call today to the idea and the steadfast holding to the notion of gatekeeping IAPP certification which will result in exclusions from the team and undermine its outcomes from Day 1.

And my understanding is that any change in WHOIS, either planned or imposed, creates great efficiency losses to our members of the CPH. And in some cases, those efficiency loses cost a lot of money!

Certainly in the case of this EPDP we would want people to have the basics of trademark law as well.  Perhaps instead of using these useful skills sets as gatekeepers, we ask staff to develop curriculum for the first session or two hitting these two issues and setting forth some basic vocabulary.  I’d be happy to participate with staff in the effort from the trademark side if you would be happy to participate with staff in the effort from the data protection side.

While the scope of the EPDP remains unclear at present, what I took away from the call between the Board and the Council on Tuesday was that compliance with the law is crucial. As such I think it is imperative that *all* members be able to demonstrate that they have a basic understanding of the principles and legal terms of data protection.

I do not think this would be a huge burden, but I think it would make work easier, as there should be a common understanding of essential terms.
