RE: [nc-whois] bulk access / european privacy protectionbriefing opportunity
Title: RE: [nc-whois] bulk access / european privacy protection briefing opportunity Dear Thomas, Have we discussed about this initiative? If yes, I certainly was not in the call but then I agree I should have read more seriously the minutes of the call. This initiative could lead to an interesting exchange of views. HOwever, I would like to stress the following: I do not want the members of the task force to go in the wrong direction. We have a data protection directive in Europe which is the basic legal framework on data protection. This Directive has been implemented in very different ways by the Member States and in addition, the level of interpretation differs a lot. As you know, German data protection rules have been implemented in a specific way. Implementing laws are different in other EU countries. In addition, rules may be interpreted in different ways by the national data protection Commissioners. I have nothing specific in mind except to say that I do not want the non-European members of the Task force to think that all the systems work in the same way and that we can rely on one interpretation. I may be a little bit strong but this is a subject I have worked on during many years. In addition, I see a lot of misleading information circulating on this Data Protection Directive.

I have just talked to Lukas Gundermann from the Center for Data
My suggestion would be that we set up a joint call of the Task Force
I would imagine the following agenda for the call: - Brief presentation of current policy; key issues from the Verizon
What do you think? If there are no objections against this agenda,
I suppose that an MP3 recording of such a conference call would be
Regards,
