<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Dear SOAC
Leaders / ICANN58 Planning Team –<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">During the
GNSO Council last week, there was discussion of a session at
ICANN58 that would address data protection concerns in our
industry, and would be attended by data protection
commissioners from throughout the EU. These folks are
especially interested in the ongoing work around WHOIS/RDS,
and the Copenhagen location is easily accessible to
prospective attendees.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Organizers
of this session have asked the GNSO and other groups (GAC, I
believe?) to support their inclusion on the meeting agenda.
Additionally, as it appears that one of the HIT sessions may
become available (Monday 1515-1645), I would like to propose
that we consider repurposing this HIT slot to accommodate
the growing interest in the “Data Protection Summit”.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">If there is
support among this group for proceeding, then I would ask
the volunteer organizers of this session to produce an
overview/agenda of their session, to ensure that the subject
matter and format meets the expectations of all SO/ACs, and
contributes to the furtherance of the RDS policy work
already underway. I recognize that this is coming fairly
late in to the process, but am hopeful that our group can be
flexible in its consideration of this request. If we are
unable to accommodate the proposal, please note that some
version of this session will likely occur in Copenhagen
anyway, albeit it would not enjoy an unconflicted HIT slot
on the main schedule.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">If possible,
we should decide this week, so I can task the volunteers to
either (a) develop the aforementioned session agenda, or (b)
make alternative (non-HIT) scheduling arrangements.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
