Subject: Registrar Invitation to the Privacy Conference


Bhavin:
On behalf of the Noncommercial Users Constituency, I would like to invite
the Registrar Constituency to join us for the Privacy Conference "Building
Bridges on ICANN's Whois Questions."  This conference will take place on
Tuesday, 11/29 at 2:30PM at the Westin in Vancouver.

Originally we feared a conflict between the .COM meeting and the Privacy
Conference, but both meetings have been adjusted to accommodate each other.

On behalf of all the Privacy Conference sponsors -- including NCUC, PIR and
the Registry Constituency -- we would like to invite the Registrar
Constituency to join us in exploring conflicts between data protection laws
and the Registrar's Whois obligations under the RAA. Ultimately, it is
Registrars on the legal line --- and that hardly seems right.

Please feel free to circulate the agenda below (attached in formatted
version).  We hope your members can come!

Regards,
Kathryn Kleiman/NCUC

Bridges on ICANN's Whois Questions
Sponsors:  Noncommercial Users Constituency, The Public Interest Registry,

Tuesday, November 29th,  2:30 PM - 6:00 PM
Stanley Park Ballroom 3 (Westin Hotel)

Agenda

       Keynote Speaker:  Ms. Heather H. Black, Assistant Privacy
Commissioner of Canada

Session I:  Coming into Compliance:  ccTLDs Change Their Whois Databases

This session profiles ccTLDs on three continents who have changed their
Whois procedures (or are in the midst of changing them) based on national
data protection laws.  What are the changes?  How are they working?  How do
they allow personal data to be made available to those who need it?  (This
session will feature considerable time for questions and discussion with the
audience.)

Session II:  Experts on Other Areas of Telecommunications and Internet
Privacy

The Whois debate takes place within the larger context of telecommunications
and Internet privacy, but in the ICANN community we rarely refer to outside
models.  How do telephone companies, ISPs and others handle requests for
personal data, including chatroom and email identities?  What do these
models offer in our work on the Whois questions?


Session III:  The Future of the gTLD Whois Databases:  Registrars,
Registries and NCUC Present Their New Plans for the WHOIS Databases 

Registries, Registrar and Noncommercial Users Constituency recently put
forward different plans to change the gTLD Whois Database to provide
protection for personal data.  For the first time in a public forum, they
will present and discuss their proposals. (This session also will feature
considerable time for questions and discussion with the audience.)   

Questions/RSVP:  If you have any questions regarding this event, please
contact Kathryn Kleiman of the Noncommercial Users Constituency at
KathrynKl at aol.com.  

Open to All
