Thanks Bill, that would be great!  I worked all day on that stupid dissent, trying to make it not seem like I am throwing out the whole report, and I explained my objections to them all over a period of some days.  I also met the deadline, and I had previously warned them it was going to be three pages.  I cannot break confidence and forward emails, but I am afraid I perhaps should have anticipated the whole thing being thrown out, and provided options (if you don't like this, go with the shorter version A, or B or C.)   I suspect that objections might have been found to this as well, but it could have prevented the situation I find myself in now.

As many of you had said when I was named the only civil society/privacy voice in the EWG, it is really hard to balance with only one voice, particularly one such as me who is not working in the DNS industry, and who has not got the history of the battles, and even (you wont catch me admitting this often, so write it down) being a non-attorney dealing with quite a few lawyers.   I worked really really hard on this, and I got help from so many of you, especially Kathy and Tamir, when I asked questions, but it was difficult when we were operating on Chatham House rules or the equivalent, to supplement my meagre knowledge and skill set.

I am also afraid I am now more or less voted off the island.  I have my ticket for London, but I will not be surprised if I am not invited to speak or participate at upcoming webinars.  I am getting (sob!) very lonely. :-) (joke, for the benefit of those who do not know me).  Anyway, I think we have the bones of a great conversation, and I want to emphasize that there are still many great things in that report.  I think the EWG is correct in asserting that this report pays more attention to privacy than previous efforts.

Hi

I would like to hear more about the conversation that resulted in "they would not publish it"...?

The paper (and any other inputs members devise) can of course be used as a backgrounder to our privacy session, and we could ask staff change the Confluence link to say Workshop Agenda and Background Paper(s) so it's widely accessible anyway.

Hi Stephanie,

thank you for all efforts and I acknowledge the difficulty to participate in the EWG where it is not easy to defend privacy unfortunately. your participation probably helped to prevent more worse outcome.

we need to respond to the report and so volunteers to do so( we have also to respond to the Whois and local laws too!)
we have many things to discuss in London in this regard.
can you please share your dissenting report if possible?

Best,

Rafik

The EWG report is out.  I wrote a dissenting report, but they would not publish it.  I will give a prize to the persons who find what I am complaining about (Tamir, Milton, and Kathy, you don't count!)
Thanks to all who have helped and encouraged me during this long and lonely year.
Stephanie
