FAMILY="SANSSERIF" PTSIZE="10">Bhavin:<BR>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.<BR><BR>Originally we feared a conflict between the .COM meeting and
the Privacy Conference, but both meetings have been adjusted to accommodate each
other.<BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>Please feel free to
circulate the agenda below (attached in formatted version). We hope your
members can come!<BR><BR>Regards,<BR>Kathryn

Conference: Building Bridges on ICANN’s Whois Questions<BR>Sponsors:
Noncommercial Users Constituency, The Public Interest Registry, The Registry
Constituency and Cole, Raywid & Braverman LLP<BR>Tuesday, November
29th, 2:30 PM – 6:00 PM<BR>Stanley Park Ballroom 3 (Westin
Hotel)<BR><BR>Agenda<BR><BR> Keynote
Speaker: Ms. Heather H. Black, Assistant Privacy Commissioner of
Canada<BR><BR>Session I: Coming into Compliance: ccTLDs Change Their
Whois Databases<BR><BR>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.)<BR><BR>Session II: Experts on Other Areas
of Telecommunications and Internet Privacy<BR><BR>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?<BR><BR><BR>Session III: The Future of the gTLD Whois
Databases: Registrars, Registries and NCUC Present Their New Plans for the
WHOIS Databases <BR><BR>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.) <BR><BR>Questions/RSVP: If you have any questions
regarding this event, please contact Kathryn Kleiman of the Noncommercial Users
Constituency at KathrynKl@aol.com. <BR><BR>Open to
