Re: [EURO-Discuss] [At-Large] European Union Court of Justice ruling on data retention.
by Wolf Ludwig April 10, 2014

April 10, 2014

Thanks Aida for this extensive juridical deliberations and evaluations on the case. But IMO, there is a crucial *political* consideration - at least equivalent - as well: Data protection was always ab/used as a "necessity" to combat crime and delinquents by law enforcement and law makers whereas the question or principle of proportionality was always or systematically neglected (in an always ludicrous manner: Don't worry, if you have nothing to hide etc.). While a general suspicion (Generalverdacht) of the broad population was always considered or understated as sort of "collateral damage". Or: The end justifies the means. Over and out! Civil rights activists have verified related data of the German Federal Criminal Police Office (equivalent to the FBI) by concluding that data retention contributes to the crime clearance rate around 0,006 per cent at maximum -- see http://www.vorratsdatenspeicherung.de/images/stellungnahme_vorratsdatenspei… (page 31 pp -- unfortunately in German only but substantiated). So much on large scale data retention vs. proportionality vs. effectiveness! IMO, it's the merit of the European Court esteeming the broader picture and consequences (on fundamental rights) and not only juridical aspects and arguments from law enforcement. And in my longer political life I have learned: Never trust any folks pretending to care for my "security" ;-) Best, Wolf Aida Noblia wrote Wed, 9 Apr 2014 18:58: >Dear all: > >Modestly, as seen in the grounds of the judgment , I think it is very >important to take into account the principles of proportionality and >weighting governing the protection of personal data, and other principles >such as the purpose for which it is collected or retained data , these >principles are included in their own data protection laws in most cases I >saw. > >The arguments set out in the judgment , in particular paragraphs 59 and >following , are a proxy for all the elements that the court considered >these aspects , ie the Directive concerned, annulled by the judgment, did >not meet these requirements set the limits adequate for retention.

Re: [EURO-Discuss] [At-Large] European Union Court of Justice ruling on data retention.
by Wolf Ludwig April 9, 2014

April 9, 2014

Dear Jean-Jacques and all, (let me Cc the EURALO list to this) thanks a lot for pointing to this yesterday’s European Court decision with various and important foreseeable impacts – “regarding the protection of Internet user rights and privacy”, as you mentioned. As EDRI affirmed yesterday: “After eight years, this affront (data retention) to the fundamental rights of European citizens has finally been declared illegal. Eight years of abuses of personal data and eight years of reassurances from EU Member States and the Commission that the measure was legal …” Various among our German ALSes (DigitalCourage, Network New Media, Vereinigung Datenschutz etc.) pointed to this abuse and violation of privacy rights since years while the public was mislead until this superior court ruling. As an example, Germany didn’t transpose this EU Directive 2002/58/EC into its national legislation so far and was sued by the European Commission for “non-compliance with EU rules”. Now the EU Commission and most member states have to do their home work for respecting this European Court decision (life can be cruel ;-) Besides Europe, this court decision impacts IMO also ICANN incl. recent discussions in Singapore (and before) whether or to what an extent European registrars have to comply with and exert ICANN rules clearly violating European privacy standards – particularly after yesterday’s court decision? To me, yesterday was a great day for reaffirming *privacy as a fundamental right* in the EU! Any further comments on this are welcome! Kind regards, Wolf Subrenat, Jean-Jacques wrote Wed, 9 Apr 2014 10:32:4 >On 9 april, the European Union Court of Justice (EUCJ) ruled that > >"Directive 2006/24/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 March 2006 on the retention of data generated or processed in connection with the provision of publicly available electronic communications services or of public communications networks and amending Directive 2002/58/EC is invalid". > >This ruling follows requests by associations representing civil society in Ireland (Digital Rights Ireland, Ltd.) and Austria (Verfassungsgerichtshof).

Re: [EURO-Discuss] [lac-discuss-en] VOTE RESULTS: 2014 Director-At-Large Board (Seat # 15) Selection Process
by Carlton Samuels April 6, 2014

April 6, 2014

....when I see this thread I don't know why Robin Crawford comes top of mind...... To my mind the issue is moreso about culture than any one voting member. ICANN is an American corporation; shorthand for saying it is acculturated in a specific way. Its world view, decision model and management practices springs from a certain philosophical base. In this framework certain interests are inherently constrained. Some sentient ones understand this and so now, some moves are in play to address this. Time will tell whether they are fit to purpose or not. On the balance of fact, understanding of Board dynamics and cultural stasis, I'm not so sure another "At-Large Board Member" will deliver what most of us believe to be good and necessary, absent a cultural shift. -Carlton ============================== Carlton A Samuels Mobile: 876-818-1799 *Strategy, Planning, Governance, Assessment & Turnaround* ============================= On Fri, Apr 4, 2014 at 6:29 PM, <ocl(a)gih.com> wrote: > > [[--Translated text (es -> en)--]] > > Subject: Re: VOTE RESULTS: 2014 Director-At-Large Board (Seat # 15) > Selection Process > From: ocl(a)gih.com > > Dear Wolfgang, > > > thank you for this reminder of the history. > > > I'd like to hear more from our Community on Whether They Should we think > be pushing for a second manager position now that we've had another > successful round of selection of a Board director. > > > Fadi Chehadmentioned today in the At-Large Election When speaking > about the multi-stakeholder model at the Hudson Institute > > http://www.hudson.org/events/1144-the-future-of-internet-governance-a-discu… > > > Kind regards, > > > Olivier > > > On 30/03/2014 11:32, "Kleinwchter, Wolfgang" wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I also want to join the many thanks to Sebastian (great job), to Rinalia > (great challenge) and Roberto and Tijani (well done).

Re: [EURO-Discuss] Extending Suffrage
by Thomas Lowenhaupt April 5, 2014

April 5, 2014

Ariel, I am resending this message to the six RALO discuss lists as per your request. Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hi Thomas, I hope your day has been going well. Could you please resend your message titled ³Extending Suffrage² to the six RALO discuss mailing lists? I accentually the message and I will allow the message to go through this time. Apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you, Ariel ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Olivier, I appreciate Wolfgang's raising the question of the At-Large's position within ICANN's governance structure (see below), and your extending an invitation to comment. In a paper submitted to NETmundial <http://www.coactivate.org/projects/campaign-for.nyc/blog/2014/03/08/260/> we addressed the question of suffrage in ICANN's governance processes. We look at voter eligibility at ICANN today and draw a parallel to America in 1787 when the 3% of the population was eligible to vote: basically large farm owners (no blacks, women, or poor). Our paper proposed that we take a first step in extending suffrage at ICANN by reverting to the selection of 5 board members by the At-Large Structures, one member per region. Let me reiterate, this is "a step" with more suffrage extensions required. The paper <http://www.coactivate.org/projects/campaign-for.nyc/blog/2014/03/08/260/> also proposed a formalized role for cities in the ICANN governance process.
