[NCSG-PC] GDPR Couse @ IAPP

[Ayden Férdeline]

Yes, please raise this Martin.

Everyone should have to take this course unless they can demonstrate that they received either a recognised award for their work in privacy and/or data protection OR have written or overseen the development of a privacy and/or data protection law.

I like the idea that EPDP members must take an exam to demonstrate that some of the knowledge has sunk in and they haven't zoned out while sitting in the classroom.

I believe ICANN should pay the course and exam fee for EPDP members who do not yet hold this certification.

I was listening to todays morning call on the essential and difficult need to spread quickly more training  among our icann colleagues on how GDPR works (not awareness, but actual skills to debate policy), specially on the stubborn head of American lawyers unwilling to immerse in what reality already brings, partially because is a strategy to avoid new policy, and partially because they choose to ignore something foreign by default (I guess is something natural from the US perspective).

I found this “Get GDPR Ready”  https://iapp.org/train/gdprready Course of International Association of Privacy Professionals ([IAPP](https://iapp.org/)). The course comes from a third party that is part of the INTA, so we are not proposing IPC to listen to South American liberal rads, but colleges from their own feud. On the other hand, the course is qualified for  “Certified Information Privacy Professional /Europe”, which gives both legitimacy and some sort of credit afterwards.
> The course is not cheap, at least not for ICANN community members, so I think it would be ideal if ICANN strikes some sort of deal to have this course open, not in ICANN times, but in EPDP times!!! I know Sam Pfeifle, IAPP Content Director, is the person who did the presentation of this matter at INTA 2018, and I heard good thing about it. If INTA could strike a deal, ICANN should too. I think this is the right track to bring a game changer element to the EPDP debate, a fast track training by trusted party already set-up to implement tomorrow.
