Re: [ga-sys] Territorial approach to privacy issues

WXW and all,

  Although you may be correct in your assumption, WXW, you don't
know that the opposite is true either.  Unless or until you can
it is reasonable to assume that the majority of EU Citizens or stakeholders
are in agreement with their laws.  At any rate, they are obliged to
obey them regardless of what ICANN may choose or wish.  Hence
Joanna's indication of a more regional approach to ascertaining
the level of privacy that the indigenous stakeholders desire would
be a good one to pursue...
