In any case, the real value is for individuals to forward it on to any privacy our data protection officials they may have contract with - assuming they support the goal of getting such input into the ICANN discussions. avri Alain Berranger <[log in to unmask]> wrote: >Thanks Wendy, > >It would have been nice to be invited when you started the drafting. > >I will provide comments soonest convenient, so for now please do not >associate NPOC with the NCUC letter. > >Alain > >On Thursday, June 28, 2012, Wendy Seltzer wrote: > >> Hi NCUC, >> >> As we discussed Tuesday, a drafting team met yesterday to write a >letter >> to privacy commissioners and organizations, noting our concerns with >the >> privacy implications of the RAA draft's WHOIS data collection and >> retention requirements, and inviting them to send comments to the >ICANN >> Board. >> >> Thanks especially to Kim for getting us started, and to Joy, Avri, >> Rafik, Sam, and David for help revising.
