All, This posting may just expose a blind side in my knowledge, but I would like to ask: * Is there is an organization of Registrar's, outside ICANN, that collectively carries on discussions with the EU and other national government Data Protection Agencies? * Is there a particular forum, public or private, in which that dialogue takes place, or is within efforts that are mainly one-on-one?
