<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080>Hi everybody,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080>I also support Garth's proposal as prepared
by Ralf for submission by the Privacy Security WG. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080>I withdraw my proposal on e-voting, and will
not submit it personally. Although I am tempted to submit it just to get the
phrase a little more visibility, I agree that there needs to be more
consensus before adding to the bulk and workload of this
process.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080>I appreciate all of the consideration
and comments provided, particularly by Ralf and Robert. I would like to see
opinions whether this issue belongs in the Privacy Security Working Group at
all, and if not, where it should be treated.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080>I know some people think this is a national,
not an international issue also. However, those countries that have problems
with the voting process are unlikely to give their societies the means to solve
them.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080>Thanks again to everybody.
Saludos,</FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> [Privsec] reworked theme
proposal for IGF: "People-Centred Digital Identity and Privacy"</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Dear all,<BR><BR>today, the deadline ends for theme proposals
for the Internet Governance <BR>Forum. This list has not been too active
recently in collaboratively <BR>working on text. I myself was caught up in
work, too (I am involved in a <BR>conference we have at my institute this
weekend). I finally worked a bit <BR>on it this night. Two things:<BR><BR>*1.
Theme proposal for "People-Centric Digital Identity and Privacy"*<BR><BR>As
nobody on this list did find time to develop a theme proposal based on <BR>our
"Privacy Forum" idea from February, I think it is best to support a <BR>good
idea that is already out there. Therefore, I have taken Garth <BR>Graham's
proposal on user-centric identity (which met no objections here) <BR>and
re-worked it a bit, following a suggestion by Bertrand de La Chapelle,
<BR>into a theme on "People-Centred Digital Identity and Privacy". The draft
<BR>is attached.<BR><BR>Due to lack of time, this was not coordinated with
Garth or Bertrand. But <BR>I guess the chances of getting this theme onto the
agenda are even higher <BR>if the general idea is supported by different
proposals and from different <BR>directions. And, by the way, if it makes it
onto the IGF agenda, we still <BR>have every chance to build this into a
global Privacy Forum. ;-)<BR><BR>I will be offline today from 15:00 CEST on
because of our conference. If I <BR>do not hear any objections to this
proposal, I will submit it in the name <BR>of this group. If people object, I
will still submit it as my own <BR>proposal, and personal endorsements are of
course welcome for that.<BR><BR>*2. Theme Proposal "Privacy of
e-Voting"*<BR><BR>I am not sure if we have enough agreement for Ginger's
proposal on the <BR>privacy of e-voting for supporting it as a group. I myself
am not <BR>convinced anymore that even the references in the latest version
are <BR>enough to make clear it really is an Internet Governance issue. But
the <BR>main problem seems to be that it will not have a realistic chance of
<BR>getting into the IGF if we already face scepticism in this group and from
<BR>other CS people. Therefore, I would prefer not to submit it in the name of
<BR>this group.<BR><BR>Ginger, you of course are free to submit it yourself,
and I hope for your <BR>understanding. If people want to endorse it, they
should let Ginger know.<BR><BR>Best, Ralf<BR><BR>
