Click Here Join us for our third and final briefing as part of our 2012 Government Privacy Series:
New Internet Privacy Legislation: What the White House, Federal Trade Commission and the European Commission Are Recommending.
The Federal Trade Commission called on Congress to pass new Internet privacy laws in its Privacy Framework Report released in March. FTC official Maneesha Mithal, Associate Director of the Division of Privacy and Identity Protection, Federal Trade Commission (FTC), will start this briefing off with the FTC's recommendations -- the last of the three governmental Internet privacy initiatives in this series.
Following Ms. Mithal, we've assembled a private sector panel of experts to review all three legislative proposals from the FTC, the Obama Administration's “Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights” white paper and the proposed "European Data Protection Regulation" respectively.
Panelists:
- Justin Brookman, Director, Project on Consumer Privacy - Center for Democracy & Technology [bio]
- Steve DelBianco, Executive Director - NetChoice [bio]
- Rachel Thomas, Vice President, Government Affairs - Direct Marketing Association [bio]
- Peter Swire, Professor of Law, Ohio State University [bio]
- Christopher Wolf, Partner - Hogan Lovells [bio] (Moderator)
The Congressional Internet Caucus Advisory Committee previously hosted a briefing by Françoise Le Bail, European Commission, Director General for Justice on the recently unveiled draft European Data Protection Regulation. Just a few weeks ago we hosted the second briefing featuring Daniel J. Weitzner, Deputy Chief Technology Officer for Internet Policy in the White House to discuss The White House Proposal For A Framework for Protecting Privacy: "Consumer Data Privacy in a Networked World". The briefing by Ms. Mithal on the FTC's Internet privacy proposal is the last in this three part series.
The White House Report represented a comprehensive blueprint to address consumer privacy and give users more control over how personal information is used. This proposal included an Administration call for Congress to write these principles into legislation in several key areas, and also provided guidance for the Commerce Department to engage in a multi-stakeholder process with companies that use personal data and privacy advocates, in order to develop and implement privacy policies, enforceable by the Federal Trade Commission. In part, the Administration's efforts are designed to move US Privacy regulations into closer alignment with those of the EU and other international trading partners. This is a significant proposal from the Administration and we encourage all technology policy staff to attend.
