Thanks Carlos and Ralf,

I am prompted to make some comments -
I do not have a visible track record on security/privacy policy
area as an activists, unlike others.

However, I have been working on the study of policy issues
around security and privacy for some 3 years, and now
working on the emerging issue of digital Identity Management.

Some standardization work is ongoing at ITU around NGN
and other bodies, OECD also organized a workshop on
this last May, and EU is putting considerable resources
in the R&D of ID management. US plans to introduce "Real
ID" while UK introduced ID card under Passport system.
Japanese government is considering the introduction of
social security ID card, Korean government is introducing
new personal PIN system...

So if selected, I may raise these emerging issues and
point out that in most cases, privacy and human right
considerations are not sufficiently addressed in an
open manner.

I am also involved in preparing the IPv4 depletion/IPv6
transition workshop for IGF. These are labled as
"Internet Core Resources", but they are also kind of
digital identifiers, and if implemented in certain ways
it will open the door for tracking down the illegal or
criminal users - another set of ID managmenet/privacy
issues.

Finally, there is relatively low level awareness on privacy
in most parts of Asia.

best,

izumi
