[NCSG-PC] Fw: [gnso-rds-pdp-wg] international law enforcement association resolution regarding domain registration data

Fri Mar 3 04:55:03 EET 2017

I am thinking.  I recommend pushing the pause button.  I have fond 
memories of drafting speeches for my assistant deputy minister to attend 
the wretched Canadian Association of Police Chiefs Conference annually, 
and there was always a wish list from them of outrageous demands (ban 
radio scanners, ban radar scanners, stop allowing unlisted phone 
numbers, let us do cell tower scoops, etcetcetc.  I used to tell him, 
how about we start with you reading the Canadian Charter of Rights and 
Freedoms to them.....(pardon me, a brief stroll down memory lane).

I think a response is required.  These organizations are 
non-transparent.  Let's ask for the evidence for their allegations.  
this is about money, human intervention, and paperwork.  What about the 
risk to end users, the citizens they have sworn to protect?  where is 
their risk assessment and stats for that?

But get ready, this is just the opening salvo.  They have been preparing 
the flank attack over the past year while we toiled away on the 
committee.  Stock up on Red Bull, we are going to need it....

Stephanie

PS I will forward this to the data protection officer at Interpol.  She 
may have some advice.....
