Actions: 

• The ALAC Ex-Chair (Olivier Crepin-Leblond) to informally get in touch with colleagues on other SOs and ACs about this issue  

Notes: 

• 02 Sep 2015: 

  • This problem is often found when it comes to the treatment of personal information.

  • Work is currently taking place two-fold:

    1. by ICANN issuing special amendments to its contracts on a case by case basis specifically regarding its data retention waivers:

       • etc. Many of these are individual Data Retention Waivers but also a process to change the agreement on a more permanent basis

    2. The ICANN Cross Community Working Group on ICANN Accountability is also looking at the Issue. I would recommend that the work of this working group be examined once it is complete

  • Worth noting that I have asked other SO/AC Chair in the past about this issue (prior to the work taking place above) and there was, at the time, barely any response.
