[Dcpr] DCPR activities at the IGF, and proposals for future engagement

[Roxana Radu]

Dear Jyoti, dear all,

thank you again for starting this conversation. Picking up on one of the
proposed research projects listed in the common doc, i wanted to share with
you a recent announcement by Google that they are making more information
available on the R2BF (slightly better, but insufficient in my view):

https://www.blog.google/topics/google-europe/updating-our-right-be-forgotten-transparency-report/


we may use this timely opportunity to start drilling down on the research
objectives we listed in the doc.

Thanks and looking forward to working with those who expressed interest in
this,
Roxana

> The committee has released a white paper that covers several issues

> posed 243 unique questions  to stakeholders. One chapter of the white paper
> covers RTBF and I have attached a summary in this email for reference.

> Last year in Puttaswamy the SC declared the right to privacy to be a

>
> Finally, the white paper also references the emerging jurisprudence on the
> RTBF as courts across India deal with issue. A summary of the Karnataka
> case referenced in the WP is summarised. In addition other cases where the
> RTBF has been rejected or dismissed and other applicable jurisprudence is
> also included.
