ANSI virtual TAG on privacy

["Michael Willett" <mwillett@nc.rr.com>]

Attached are the reactions of the “ANSI virtual TAG on Privacy” to the 10 recommendations

of the ISO Privacy Steering Committee. The 10 recommendations are not attached,

but the reactions are informative, especially 7 and 10:

 

   - 7: “… In privacy, we do not have agreed-upon goals, and so the construction of technical privacy standards is premature….”

 

          In ISO-time (which is not subject to relativistic effects!), establishing “agreed-upon goals” will take a lifetime.

 

   - 10: “  ‘Privacy by Design’ seems to us a principle, not a subject for which one can develop a standard.”

 

          So, the phrase ‘Privacy by Design’; is a loaded and bias-producing phrase.

          Better to say “Making Privacy Operational” for our work.
