As a veteran of that [ridiculous] IAG process, I can confirm that the procedure suggested does not make much sense in terms of how data protection law is understood and enforced. Nevertheless, the procedure and report was passed, and the GNSO accepted it despite the fact that the registrars knew it would not work. Another IAG is being struck in the fall, with a different Charter, and we will have to pay close attention to that one to ensure that it makes more sense than the last one did. Stephanie Perrin PS that committee and process currently has won the prize in my experience (which includes 30 years in government, chalking up a few committees that offered a tough record to beat) for utterly useless and senseless going in circles. Nevertheless, I am going to join the next one...either to beat the previous record holder, or validate that old saw about repeating something being the triumph of hope over experience....please join, it will be fun!
