Dear All,
ICANN announced the creation of the Global Indigenous Ambassador Program in
June 2017. The program establishes two Indigenous Ambassadors, to be
selected from under-represented indigenous communities. Through the
inclusion of a broader and more diverse base of knowledgeable constituents,
ICANN will be better equipped to support the next generation of the global
Internet community.
ICANN is now accepting applications for a Mentor for the two Global
Indigenous Ambassadors. Mentors must be familiar with ICANN and At Large
and been active in one of the constituencies. Mentors must also meet a
number of criteria that are listed on this webpage
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1E1idwhPVdASTKz-Gz7zmb--xXsDoIzSdGqF4yE9…>.
Among these are that they must follow the requirements for coaches as
described in the ICANN Fellowship handbook for coaches which can be found
here
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Oyvi36_PftzzGqanDehB4eapR5kPYtdE-javRkn…>.
The selected Mentor will receive travel, hotel, and per diem for the
ICANN60 Conference in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, to be held 28
October – 3 November 2017.
*The deadline for submitting applications is 31 July 2017. *
*Get your application here <https://goo.gl/forms/nJq425KPjPtBcofM2>. *
ICANN encourages anyone who is qualified to apply for this special
opportunity!

Tunisians are worried that a biometric ID registration will does not
provide enough protection for their privacy.
During the biometric of 19.6 million Kenyan voters, this issue did not seem
to come up prominently, at least not in this list. Read on.

Subject: Good news for privacy in Tunisia
To: kivuva(a)transworldafrica.com
[image: Access Now]
Mwendwa,
*Good news: The final vote on Tunisia’s privacy-threatening national
biometric ID proposal has been delayed.* And with the parliament heading
into its August recess, the vote is not likely to be rescheduled until at
least September.
Access Now and our partners have been hard at work raising awareness about
the bill here in Tunisia and around the world. We have been meeting with
individual parliamentarians in the capital and with the local press, and we
can tell you, your message is being heard. *After meeting with us, several
key members of parliament said they agree that, as it stands, this proposal
does not provide sufficient protections for Tunisians’ privacy.*
The parliament has been under pressure from the Ministry of Interior to
pass the biometric ID law quickly, without properly consulting civil
society, the national Data Protection Authority, or other important
stakeholders. *Many Tunisians — and even many members of parliament — have
been kept in the dark about the proposal and what’s at stake if it should
pass.*
But our efforts — together with the invaluable work of our partners,
including Al Bawsala and the Democratic Transition & Human Rights Support
Center (DAAM) — have helped to balance the scales, and leaders in Tunisia’s
parliament decided to focus on other priorities before the August recess.
*Any delay is a big victory for our rights. *We now have another six weeks
to make as much noise as we can about the proposal. First order of
business, we’ll be urging Tunisia’s legislators to vote against the ID
program. But we’ll also be working closely with partner organizations and
concerned parliamentarians to introduce much-needed amendments, so if the
law does pass, it will be as rights-respecting as possible.
Our team here in Tunisia will be doing everything we can to take advantage
of this opportunity to defend fundamental privacy rights. *Here’s how you
can help us:*
*Keep sharing the Facebook note to members of Tunisian parliament.*

Just a few weeks ago, very few people in Tunisia or globally had heard of
this all-in-one ID system. Now, because of all the noise that we and our
partners are making, politicians are taking notice. All this social media
you have generated is being taken straight to the parliament and is forming
a key part of our conversation with decision makers, which is why we’re
asking you to keep it up over the next six weeks before the bill comes back
up for a vote.

*
<https://www.e-activist.com/ea-action/broadcast.record.message.click.do?ea.u…>*
Politicians chasing shiny new technology without considering its impact on
human rights is bad news — and not just in Tunisia. Casting the data
collection net as wide as possible, without the safeguards required by both
domestic and international law, puts us all at risk. Together, we can make
our privacy rights central to these debates.
Ever forward,
Wafa Ben-Hassine

It looks at the very best, all we could do from this point onward might
only be mitigational.Data protection/privacy is clearly the proverbial
horse that bolted, ages back.It's in the wild now..!

Re: [kictanet] IEBC 2017 REGISTER OF VOTERS - data protection/privacy law

While still at this, I just got the ensuing txt below directly to my
line..! Is there data mining of my data on the register by 3rd parties..??!!
------------------------------------------------------------------
http://www.smscaster.com DEAR Nairobi Central Ward Voter:I Antony Kamau
Gitumbi (Guka)with PNU wishes you a successful week & request your vote for
MCA on 8/8/2
------------------------------------------------------------------
Where are the so much talked about data privacy protection systems..?

Hi John,
The scenario you describe makes a case for data protection law, because it
should not be legal to have access to the IEBC register for (bulk SMS or
other) business purposes.
Thankfully there are guidelines against unsolicited bulk SMS from political
parties and candidates.

SHANGHAI — The last of Facebook’s major products that still worked in China was disrupted by the government on Tuesday, as Beijing broadly tightened its controls over the internet.
The product, WhatsApp, a messaging app used across the globe, was partly blocked by Chinese filters, leaving many unable to send videos and photos and some also unable to send text-based messages.

A wonderful albeit frightening paper has been written by Kevin P. Donovan
on our "afterthought" Data Privacy discussions from an Africa-wide SIM
Registration initiative angle. Well worth the read to provide in-depth
perception of the systemic scale of what this thread is doing kitchen-table
level talk on.
