Docket Number: 
101214614-0614-01
The Department of Commerce's Internet Policy Task Force is conducting a comprehensive review of the nexus between privacy policy and innovation in the Internet economy. On April 23, 2010, the Department published a Notice of Inquiry seeking comment from all Internet stakeholders on the impact of current privacy laws in the United States and around the world on the pace of innovation in the information economy. The Department now seeks further comment on its report entitled, "Commercial Data Privacy and Innovation in the Internet Economy: A Dynamic Policy Framework," available at http://www.ntia.doc.gov/internetpolicytaskforce/. Through this Notice requesting comments on the report, the Department hopes to spur further discussion with Internet stakeholders that will lead to the development of a series of Administration positions that will help develop an action plan in this important area.

Re: Cybersecurity, Innovation and the Internet Economy
Notice of Inquiry

This letter is written in response to the notice for inquiry made in the [Federal Register: Dec 21, 2010 (Volume 75, Number 244)], [Page 80042], [Docket No. 101214614-0614-01].

Thank you for making this important call for public comment.

There are seven sections in our reply. We begin with praise for the DoC IPTF and the IPTF Privacy Green Paper, which we consider to be a very valuable contribution and effort. Second, we point to specific sections of that text that we think are highly desirable. Third, we provide some constructive feedback on statements found in the body of the green paper. Four, we make some observations on the DHS fair information practice principles (FIPP). Five, we provide answers to selected questions out of your notice of inquiry. Six, we make a few very minor observations on a few sentences in the text. Seven, we finish with some suggestions regarding a) unique requirements to support small business needs and b) a proposition to survey the community to establish a baseline expectation for data privacy.

We appreciate this opportunity to provide feed back on the UPTF Privacy Green Paper. Should it be helpful, we are at your disposal to provide further clarification on any point we have raised.

Please find our full letter attached to this email, and also a redundant copy at the following URL:
