To: new_media_forum at yahoogroups.com

 Naavi.org is in the process of collecting views from the public on 
 the need for and the nature of the required legislation 
 for "Protection of Privacy Rights of Individuals in Cyber Space" or 
 what is normally in the domain of "Data Protection Act". 
 
 While the Human Right Activists would like a strong flavour of 
 protection, the Security requirements of the country require the 
 legislation to give sufficient scope to the law Enforcement 
 Authorities. Finding a balance is the tough job for the legislators.
 
 I urge interested professionals to submit their views for 
 consolidation and publication at Naavi.org. It is proposed that if 
 there is a good response to this public opinion gathering exercise, a 
 seminar on the theme of "Data Protection Legislation and Its impact 
 on BPO business in India " may be held in Chennai to formulate a 
 recommendation that can be submitted to the Government.
 
 It may be recalled that Naavi had organized similar exercises in the 
 past on ITA-2000 through the Netizen's forum and on Communication 
 Convergence Bill through New Media Forum. The present activity is 
 planned to be taken up with the assistance of the Cyber Society of 
 India.

Raised one above my head
