<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi All,<br>
Tx to Amr for the update! For all interesting in privacy, freedom
of expression and concerned about the explosion of interest in
accuracy in Whois data, please join us for two sessions - in which
NCSG people will be front and center - and where people at the
microphones supporting our NCSG positions would be tremendously
valuable.<br>
<br>
Both are Monday sessions:<br>
1) Monday, 24 March 2014<br>
ALAC's Roundtable on Registration Directory Services: Now and the
Future (read: Whois)<br>
Time: 15:00-14:30<br>
Meeting Room: VIP<br>
I'm on the panel for the 1st part in part of a discussion of the
proxy/privacy accreditation WG and principles for proxy/privacy
services that serves Registrants (not just those demanding the
data). Stephanie Perrin is on the panel for the second part
talking about the Expert Working Group report and findings. There
is planned discussion with the audience - and comments welcome!<br>
<br>
2) Mon, 24 March 2014<br>
The public Expert Working Group (where microphone comments will
make a huge difference!), titled:<br>
Exploring Replacements for WHOIS - The Next Generation Directory
Services<br>
Time: 16:30 to 17:30 <br>
Room: Bras Basah<br>
A critical conversation about the future of the Whois (now called
Next Gen Directory Services) and the personal and sensitive data
of human rights groups, political parties, ethic, religious, and
sexual groups. Most troubling, the EWG has proposed a new field -
Registrant Type (with only a choice of Individual or Legal Entity,
not human rights groups, not family planning organizations, not
girls' schools in Pakistan) - and our NCSG comments at the
microphone can really help to question this startling
recommendation -- and examine its implications including the
likely removal of privacy from human rights, religious,
educational, family planning, and other groups based solely on
legal incorporation. <br>
<br>
Stephanie Perrin is on the EWG and the panel, and we need a NCSG
to cheer her on and support her amazing work on data protection
law observance, binding corporate rules, and Secured Protected
Credentials! <br>
<br>
Our NCSG comments to the EWG's November Status Report are posted
at:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/input-to-ewg/attachments/20140312/e71629a0/CommentsoftheNCSGtoEWGStatusReportMarch2014-0001.pdf">http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/input-to-ewg/attachments/20140312/e71629a0/CommentsoftheNCSGtoEWGStatusReportMarch2014-0001.pdf</a>
- and focus on privacy and Freedom of Expression concerns.<br>
<br>
Please join us in the room - and online - and share your concerns
and ideas!<br>
Best,<br>
Kathy<br>

Hi,
<div>There’s been a change in the schedule. The RDS (aka WHOIS)
EWG workshop will now take place on Monday, which is unfortunate
because it now conflicts with the strategy panels session.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There was also a workshop/panel discussion on RDS arranged by
At-Large scheduled at that same time, which I can’t seem to find
on the online schedule anymore. Anyone know anything about it?</div>
