[Rt4-whois] Suggested questions for Article 29 speaker

[Kathy Kleiman]

All,

We will not be able to have an Article 29 Speaker on EU Privacy at this meeting. The organization is very interested in working with us, and would like to make people and resources available to us at a later meeting and throughout our process.

 

Thanks so much, Lynn, and let’s definitely use them as part of our work!  May I share them with the Article 29 Working Party in preparation for a future call?

 

Hopefully, this eases our schedule a bit – and perhaps gives us more question/answer time with ICANN Staff (Compliance and Policy). I was feeling that time was a little too limited.  

 

All the best, and safe travels,

Kathy

(leaving Monday night)

Subject: [Rt4-whois] Suggested questions for Article 29 speaker

 

Dear All,

Below are a few suggested questions for an Article 29 speaker regarding EU privacy.

 

If a speaker is not available, I would be happy to adapt these questions to discussion points with the goal of developing next steps in our work regarding privacy issues that have been raised concerning the Whois database.

 

Feedback or additional questions are certainly welcome.

 

1)  In the recently published Strategy for Modernisation of EU Data Protection Rules issued by the Article 29 WG,

one of the goals is to increase transparency for individual privacy rights.   Would this goal be consistent with

current ICANN policy that requires Internet domain name owners to register their contact details in a public database available to all Internet users?

 

2) Another goal stated in the Modernisation Strategy is to take into account the needs of police and criminal justice.   This is one of our review points in the Whois policy and it would be helpful if further insight could be shared.

 

3) What are your views on Binding Corporate Rules for multi-national organizations with activities both inside and external to the EU?  Why have so few multi-national organizations chosen this approach and do you expect any actions to encourage this option?

 

Kind regards to all - have a good weekend!

Lynn
