Thanks all,
As mentioned during the call on subgroups, would suggest that a ‘subgroup’ be formed for those interested to discuss this topic in depth. The subgroup can then be the lead for our next APAC Space in sharing about this topic, and highlighting areas of interest particularly for the APAC region. Following the sharing/presentation, we will continue with the community discussion, which Edmon can facilitate as usual (unless there are other takers).
So in this case if we’re going for Data Privacy/Protection, within this mailing list those interested can form a subgroup. If required, I can provide a call bridge/adobe connect for this subgroup to discuss or share information in depth (although Skype or a group chat might be more nimble for a smaller group), and also to plan what to share at the next APAC Space. Then at the next APAC Space this subgroup will be our community leads to highlight this topic.
If this works then this might be the way to increase volunteerism for future APAC Space sessions. Different people would be interested/involved in different topics, so as the topics change we will have different people come forward to take the lead.
My 2 cents for consideration please.

Hi Michael,
I have no objection if the group wishes to cover this topic for the purpose of raising awareness.
My experience is that there is a lot of general information available online and lots of discussions within the ICANN community. But when it comes to compliance with GDPR or other privacy/data protection laws, the devil is in the detail. So even though there are many so-called "experts" in privacy laws, few are familiar with the domain industry, let alone each registry's or registrar's idiosyncracies. And in the case of China, there are additional complexities.
Kind regards,
Pam

This is to continue the topic about the next APAC space topic. On the call, I proposed the topic of Data Privacy/Protection as an topic of interest. More specifically, I looked at discussing about the GDPR and how it affects us here in Asia.
Pam,
You brought up a very good point about how this is being discussed as a co-RySG (Registry Stakeholder Group / RrSG (Registrar Stakeholder Group effort to seek a path forward with ICANN. I know that a discussion on this in the APAC space would be very broad. I also agree that each organization should seek their own legal advice. However, merely having the discussion itself on a broad level will spread awareness. I think that there are still a lot of individuals who are not aware of the GDPR and how or if it may affect them.
Any feedback?
Regards,
Michael Flemming
