[gnso-rds-pdp-wg] Proposed Agenda for RDS PDP WG Meeting - Tuesday 6 June

[Paul Keating]

Stephanie,

Seeking professional advice is supposed to be an exercise in objectivity.  Find information about the parameters so you can make a decision.   

Using professional advice solely to advance a particular point of view is like driving down a road looking only in the rear view mirror - you are unaware of your surroundings.

The advice is intended to provide a broad foundation of knowledge so we can then move forward in our discussions and suggest our individual opinions.

I would also add that the risk in hiring legal counsel to advise us, is that we will not agree on what questions to ask.  For those of us advocating the public policy goals of human rights and protection of data, it will hardly be satisfactory to hire a "privacy goalie" who will be trying to find ways to deflect implementing more stringent data protection.  We have different goals here.
