<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">On the other hand, and as discussed in the past, the specific questions you are referring to below are not purely technical in nature but are linked to data privacy considerations.
Please know that the Internet Society is in the process of doing an in-depth legal review of its data privacy policy to come up with a comprehensive approach. The results of this analysis are currently undergoing internal review and will be shared with the Chapter Advisory Council and the wider Chapter leaders community later on in the process.

<p>Sorry Christine - are you kidding me? I heard this song before
(last time in October). Please understand: most requests on the
table don't touch privacy issues at all. Privacy is about which
data is collected and exchanged for which purpose on on which
legal basis. We talking about ways to make the exchange of data
between chapters and isoc.org less cumbersome and more secure -
independent of the kind of data we exchange. So with all due
respect - this is a flimsy excuse.</p>
Best regards

<p>PS.: Respecting privacy is obviously not too high ranked on
Internet Society's agenda. E.g.: in July 2019 I flagged up that
the Internet Society Cookie banner does not provide an option to
refuse consent (IMHO in conflict with our own principles and also
not conforming to EU ruling). Meanwhile most orgs and enterprises
in the world have adopted their banners to EU ruling. Not so the
Internet Society. Instead people are referred to e.g.
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.internetsociety.org/blog/2018/01/lazy-persons-guide-better-online-privacy/">https://www.internetsociety.org/blog/2018/01/lazy-persons-guide-better-online-privacy/</a>
in the Cookie policy. Embarrassed?<br>
