[gnso-rds-pdp-wg] Fwd: UN Special Rapporteur report on the right to privacy

[Nathalie Peregrine]

Dear Ayden, and all those who have volunteered for the subgroup work,

The mailing lists are set up, they were being finalized yesterday so, Ayden, this might be why you were temporarily unable to post to them. Please try again, and let me know if there are any further issues and we will fix them swiftly.

Kind regards,

Nathalie

Hello everyone. Unfortunately I cannot post to the privacy sub-group either (I might have tried too soon?), so I subject the wider working group to this message. It's intended more so for those looking to read input documents regarding privacy and data protection. Thanks, Ayden

Hi, all-

As we collect inputs over the next week(s), I thought I'd begin by sharing a recent report by the UN Special Rapporteur, Joseph Cannataci, on the right to privacy. You can download it here: http://www.ohchr.org/Documents/Issues/Privacy/A-HRC-31-64.doc

There are a few things in the report that I'd like to draw your attention to as we move forward with shaping our work plan. On page 4, paragraph 8 Cannataci identifies a need to understand that privacy norms differ across cultures. ICANN may be based in the U.S., but the rest of the world is not beholden to the first, fourth, or fourteenth amendments. My view is that we should be developing policy that is universally applicable and which incorporates a dimension of cultural sensitivity. Paragraph 9 of the report reminds us that the commodification of personal data is not always conscious nor consenting by individuals. Across cultures the notions and expectations of privacy may vary but the idea of informed concept before the disclosure of personally identifiable information is a pretty common one.

There's not a whole lot of substance to the report, but there are some interesting questions being asked that I think should inform our work as we consider the repercussions of collecting and retaining data.

Best wishes,

Ayden Férdeline
