Re: [kictanet] IEBC 2017 REGISTER OF VOTERS - data protection/privacy law
by John Kieti 22 Jul '17

22 Jul '17

Walu, Your observation on musking parts of the ID number removing the handled for certain types of audits is valid. My sense though is that what IEBC have released online is now sufficient to be called a register in compliance with the Elections act. It is now not mere statistics on the register as we were laughing off. IEBC has also been heard saying that those who want the register (including the IDs) on CD can buy it from them for 20,000/-. I believe the seriously concerned stakeholders have done so already. Best!

The major reason people (esp. political parties) want the voter register is to do analytics/audits of the same- with the presumption that the voter register is tainted. Partial IDs would not be useful in such an exercise, eg when searching for duplicate, fake or underaged IDs. On the other hand,full disclosure exposes citizen data to potential data abuse. This is where the Data Protection Act would have been useful in as far as providing a framework of use. It would balance out these two conflicting requirements that protects everyones interests. The Act would for example allow for conditional access - i.e with appropriate penalties in the event of abuse or exposure. At the moment supermarkets, banks, hospital, universities, operators, etc can abuse your private information but then...so what? walu ------------------------------ *From:* Patrick Mulwa via kictanet <kictanet(a)lists.kictanet.or.ke > *To:* jwalu(a)yahoo.com *Cc:* Patrick Mulwa <pmulwa2006(a)gmail.com> *Sent:* Thursday, July 20, 2017 6:20 PM *Subject:* Re: [kictanet] IEBC 2017 REGISTER OF VOTERS - data protection/privacy law Guys, the USA is facing the same issue where thousands of voters are removing themselves from state voter rolls, prompted by fears that their information will be revealed by President Donald Trump’s vote fraud commission.At least 44 of the 50 states have refused requests by the committee to hand over data. However, this is more POLITICAL as it is seen by many as an attempt by Trump to justify why he lost the popular vote. Maybe @IEBCKenya might consider revealing PARTIAL names, ID number, and location. I want to stress the word PARTIAL here. A good example is a bank where they present to you a few letters of your phone number or your visa/MasterCard and ask you to fill them in to verify that an account is yours. Personally, I believe partial voter data might be the way to go here.

My 3 Asks of Jack Ma as UNCTAD Special Adviser for Young Entrepreneurs and Small Business
by Mbugua Njihia 20 Jul '17

20 Jul '17

China and Africa have a most unique relationship especially with the renewed focus on looking East for partnership and support. The manifestation of this support has been by way of high value government tenders that often leave a sour taste in the mouth of a majority of citizens in terms of value exchange and knowledge transfer. Since technology can also scale bad processes and ways of work, I am keen to pick Jack Ma’s brain on what his formula would be, to prevent this ‘mindset’ from getting adopted in the online space so that digital dividends are equitably realized and benefits accrue to more individuals and SME’s directly. http://www.mbuguanjihia.com/business/3-asks-of-jack-ma-unctad-special-advis… *Regards,* Mbugua Njihia ᐧ

How Can We Expand the Use of the Multistakeholder Model?
by Alice Munyua 19 Jul '17

19 Jul '17

Dear all, Thank you for meeting with us to discuss the feasibility of expanding and enhancing the use of the multistakeholder model. We would like to share with you a blog post about our work: Link: https://www.internetsociety.org/blog/public-policy/2017/07/how-can-we-expan… How Can We Expand the Use of the Multistakeholder Model? Date published19 July 2017 Public Policy <https://www.internetsociety.org/blog/public-policy> <https://www.internetsociety.org/who-we-are/people/ms-sally-shipman-wentworth> SALLY SHIPMAN WENTWORTH <https://www.internetsociety.org/who-we-are/people/ms-sally-shipman-wentworth> Vice President of Global Policy Development RSS <https://www.internetsociety.org/blog/author/586/feed>Twitter <https://twitter.com/SAWentworth> For over a decade, the Internet Society, along with many in the Internet community, have been strong advocates of using multistakeholder approaches to make decisions in a globally distributed network environment. We are encouraged that, within the Internet ecosystem, the multistakeholder model has grown in understanding and acceptance over the past several years. But we also know that the open, global Internet faces enormous challenges and that it is crucial that we not take this progress for granted. While the IANA transition was, indeed, a pivotal moment that demonstrated how this model could work in practice, the Internet Society believes that we cannot simply “declare success” and turn our attention elsewhere. This is a crucial moment for the Internet’s growth and development and we believe that we must continue to work hard to expand and enhance uses of the multistakeholder model to address these inherently cross border challenges. As an organization committed to taking on the most challenging issues facing the Internet and doing so on a global level, the Internet Society, along with our network of chapters, is deeply committed to growing the multistakeholder model. We would like to see multistakeholder approaches adopted across the globe and used to address a broad range of Internet-related issues. Thus, we have asked Larry Strickling and Grace Abuhamad, who many of us know well, to study the feasibility of building a resource to expand and enhance the use of the model and report back to us by September 2017. In the last few weeks, they have already started to meet with experts and stakeholders from around the world to get their views as to how best to expand the use of the model. Specifically, we think any such resource could have three components or work streams: * Demonstrating the efficacy of the model: provide a neutral place and expertise where parties could come to work through Internet related issues in a multistakeholder fashion. * Capacity building: provide training to equip stakeholders with the skills to participate actively and effectively in multistakeholder processes. * Research: sponsor academic research and analysis on multistakeholder models and processes. >From the start, we have made it clear that any Internet governance activity of this sort must have a global focus and community support. We have also specified that this should not duplicate the important efforts of existing multistakeholder processes such as ICANN, IETF, and the IGF. We are also mindful that a number of multistakeholder initiatives and training programs already exist in the ecosystem and are doing important work. The goal of this effort would not be to duplicate, replace or centralize those efforts but rather to work collaboratively to advance our mutual goals. We want to emphasize that we are at a very early stage and that the Internet Society has not made any decision to proceed. But we hope the feasibility study will provide a concrete set of ideas and recommendations for what might be an effective way forward for the community to discuss later this year. In the meantime, if you have initial thoughts or reactions to how we might approach this issue, we encourage you to submit your ideas to multistakeholder(a)isoc.org <mailto:multistakeholder@isoc.org>. We will make sure that they are taken into account during the feasibility study. We also commit to our community that we will share the final report of the feasibility study before taking any action on it later this year. * /For more background, please read Internet Governance - Why the Multistakeholder Approach Works <https://www.internetsociety.org/doc/internet-governance-why-multistakeholde…>./
