> In addition to these formal meetings and my duties on the NCSG ExCom,

>
>
>
> ·      Rights Protection Mechanisms (RPMs)
>
>
>
> In the area of Rights Protection Mechanisms (RPMs) I have discussed the
> future research strategies on trademarks and intellectual property policies
> of ICANN with Kathy Kleiman (who is a chair of the RPM working group), and
> discussed the potential uses of my legal research work on the Uniform
> Dispute Resolution Policy in particular, and how it could be used as a
> strategic input from NCUC/NCSG when the UDRP reform comes up in a Phase II
> of the RPMs Review. I have drafted a detailed report on the UDRP from the
> human rights perspective, which could provide a useful basis for
> discussions both within the RPMs PDP working group, and also be useful for
> the NCUC/NCSG. Some NCUC members, such as Robin Gross and Stephanie Perrin,
> has already commented on the drafts of this report, and revised version
> will be submitted for more general NCUC comments soon.
>
>
>
> ·      Data Protection, Privacy and GDPR
>
>
>
> During the Policy Meeting in Johannesburg, as NCSG representative,
> together with Stephanie Perrin and Wendy Seltzer, I have been appointed to
> the special ICANN GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) Compliance
> Consultation Group however, due to numerous other commitments, I could
> not accept this appointment and this position was transferred to Ayden
> Ferdeline, who is in a much better position to actively contribute to this
> very intensiv taskforce.  However, this does not mean, I will not be
> providing my data protection/privacy expertise, because I have extensively
> discussed the future strategy and potential contributions of the NCUC/NCSG
> to the data protection/privacy policies of ICANN with Council of Europe
> representative Peter Kimpian, with whom we agreed to explore the
> opportunities for a detailed report on ICANN & EU General Data Protection
> Regulation in the near future. This line of work has been proposed and
> debated/planned a year ago (and involves an official EU agency, in addition
> to the Council of Europe), and now the situation and circumstances within
> ICANN regards the increased attention to the General Data Protection
> Regulation seem to be suitable for such a report. I will update the NCUC
> regarding this work regularly.

> If You have any questions or ideas regarding any of the above mentioned
