Re: privacy

[Eva Stengård <es@nrm.se>]

I can only agree to this. If it is of any help I wrote a message to the 
CRISP group some time ago that included a translation (my own, apologies 
for the quality) of those parts in the Swedish implementation of the 
European Data Protection Act that I felt was relevant in the context of 
domain name business.

Because the Act includes restrictions applicable at export of data, such 
as a transfer of data between registrar - registry on different sides of 
the EU border, the protocol used must be able to carry information, 
collected by the sender, that impose restrictions on how the recipient may 
use the data.

For those of you interested, my message can be found at:

Hope this can be of some help,
