In view of Tim's comments about the lack of activity ...
I've recently been asked to give some input on proposed legislation in a
certain jurisdiction. This is mostly in the area of a codification of IP
law. However one subject I've been specifically asked to provide a view
on is that of domain name WHOIS along with the idea of
notice-and-takedown of websites.
Now clearly, only part of that has a DP connection, but the part that
does, seems to me to be very relevant to DP.
On WHOIS, my starting point is the Art. 29 Group's statement on WHOIS
data of 2003 (Opinion 2/2003 on the application of the data protection
principles to the Whois directories) see http://tinyurl.com/2326ax
I would be grateful for any observations.
