[Tld_discuss] privacy laws and impact on domain industry

Hi Everyone, Also following up on our discussions on the APAC Space call, for our next meeting, it seems there is consensus around interest to talk about privacy and how it impacts the domain business. As also discussed, the topic is broad and for more fruitful discussion perhaps a more narrowly defined topic may be useful. Here are just some ideas to get the discussion started: - public WHOIS and privacy laws - collection of data and transfer of personal data in the process of domain registration - ICANN gTLD requirements and contravention of privacy laws - ... Thoughts/ideas/comments please :-) Edmon
