Abstract
The open internet thrives on transparency, but what happens when transparency conflicts with privacy? This talk pulls back the curtain on the world of internet policy and governance by exploring a real-world example of this tension: PROP-162, a proposal to remove unnecessary contact details from the APNIC Whois database. We'll show how the community-driven policy process allows stakeholders to debate and shape the rules that govern the internet's most fundamental information, and why you should care about this open, community-led process.
