    <p>I agree with Rafik, noting that he means Convention 108 (typo). 
      We are supposed to be representing end users, who overwhelming
      want to protect their privacy.  ICANN can do this by setting
      policies that seek to protect end user rights, rather than
      facilitating third party access to their data.  Whether or not a
      country has a law is irrelevant to this process, although of
      course if there is data protection law, ICANN ought to comply with
      it.</p>

                <p>Colleagues,</p>
                <p>I may have an overly simplistic view of the issue
                  here, but I would like to put it on the table. ICANN
                  has a narrow remit within the growing area of global,
                  regional (e.g. EU), and national Internet governance.
                  It exercises that remit through a serious of contracts
                  with entities (registrars and registries) that operate
                  under diverse national Internet governance
                  jurisdictions. <br>
                </p>
                <p>With differing specific data protection language in
                  diverse contexts, it is highly unlikely that ICANN can
                  draft “higher standard” contract language that will
                  satisfy the data privacy regulations of all, most, or
                  even many, national data privacy regimes. So, what is
                  the path forward here?</p>
                <p>There seem to be two components of a path forward.
                  First, ICANN must figure out how it exercises ICANN
                  agency as a stakeholder in the various legislative
                  policy venues in which data privacy and other Internet
                  governance policy is debated and where regulations are
                  formed. Some ICANN stakeholders already “have skin in
                  those games” and are already present in those policy
                  debates. ICANN writes contract language and needs to
                  be engaged as a stakeholder. <br>
                </p>
                <p>Second, in contrast to seeking “higher standard”
                  contract language, ICANN may need to look for “minimum
                  conditions” contract language that offers contracted
                  parties maximum freedom to negotiate with and meet the
                  conditions of national Internet governance policies.
                  At the same time ICANN can use its agency as a
                  stakeholder to press for “higher standard” national
                  policies that harmonize regulations, and facilitate
                  the work and interests of various stakeholders in the
                  Internet ecosystem. <br>
                </p>
                <p>In short, the path forward may be (a) more ICANN
                  agency as a stakeholder, and (b) minimal contract
                  language to maximize the ability of contracted parties
                  to deal with national policies and regulations. <br>

                      <div>While I appreciate that not all countries
                        have data protection laws, privacy remains a
                        fundamental human right. My suggestion is thus
                        that we should adopt the highest level of
                        protection for all domain name registrants. And
                        I suspect it is a lot easier to implement one

                        different jurisdictions.<br>
                      </div>
                      <div><br>
                      </div>
                      <div>Please also remember that ICANN sets policy
                        by contract; i.e. registries, registrars, and
                        registrants agree by contract to follow the
                        rules and policies created by ICANN, and these
                        policies can be revised and deleted. So while
                        ICANN must of course comply with the law, it can
                        adopt and impose a higher standard on the

"It is a disgrace to be rich and honoured
in an unjust state" -Confucius
 邦有道,贫且贱焉,耻也。邦无道,富且贵焉,耻也
