Privacy was Re: [governance] Who will be in Rio?

[Adam Peake]

I don't really understand why this has come up now, it's been the 
practice to publish a participants list through WSIS, WGIG 
consultations, and all IGF consultations and meeting in Athens.

But. The registration page says (and think has always said, I believe 
the secretariat took over a registration system used for WSIS)

"The IGF Secretariat will publish details of participants contained 
in mandatory fields marked with * on the IGF website. All other 
information will be held in strict confidence."

Would be nice to know if this is a breach. Whether opt in is 
required.  Or if the process is covered by some UN exemption? (are 
the transcripts a privacy breach, no one asks.)
