[Gnso-ppsai-pdp-wg] Revised Reveal Doc

[Kathy Kleiman]

I forgot to add that John Berryhill would like to join us tomorrow. He 
can speak from very direct experience to the difference between working 
with "agents" of a copyright and trademark owner, or the 
trademark/copyright owners and attorney directly. I think it will be 
valuable insight - and inform our important discussion!

Best,
Kathy

> Thank you for your comments. The agency issue worries some of us

> b) by what expertise can he/she make an assessment of infringement and 
> c) by what right, ability or authority can the signatory bind the

> I should note that the proposed changes follow the DMCA: for a Reveal

> by the Requester himself/herself/itself (in the US we call it "pro se").

>> We can certainly discuss in more depth on the call tomorrow, but I am

>> Perhaps I will have more later, but I wanted to float that to the

>> Hi All,
>> Steve and I talked on Friday, and he asked me to circulate a Revised 
>> Reveal document -- which is attached.  This document has three types 
>> of changes based on our discussion last Tuesday and subsequent research:
>>
>> 1. To the title (reset pending further discussion) 2. To Section II, 
>> the Request Templates to clarify the requester and his/her direct 
>> knowledge of the alleged infringement and legal authority to 
>> represent the Requester, and 3. Annex (reset to original pending 
>> discussion with drafters over the narrow goals and intents of this 
>> section)
>>
>> All other edits remain - to continue our excellent discussion of high 
>> standards for disclosure, human rights issues, etc. There is also 
>> much to discuss regarding follow-up processes (after the Request) 
>> including
>> a) when are appeals allowed and for whom, and b) how does a Provider 
>> challenge an alleged "wrongful disclosure" of its Customer's 
>> information?
>>
>> Best and have a good rest of weekend,
>> Kathy
