Draft:Global Privacy Assembly

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Global Privacy Assembly (GPA) is a international conference, that handles questions about privacy and data protection. It started in 1979 and assembles once a year..[1][2]

By the year 2023 the GPA had 145 accredited members.[3] Additional members, such as representatives of countries without independent privacy protection agencies, international organizations, members of NGOs, scientists or commercial representatives, can join the yearly conferences.[4][5]

Voting is restricted to accredited members, where as international organizations can be accredited as well, one example would be the European Data Protection Supervisor[6]

A five-member executive committee can adopt resolutions on current data protection policy and legal issues to influence and harmonize international legislation.[7] Notably, the resolution on International Standards for Privacy Protection in 2009 was particularly significant.[8]

Within the International Data Protection Conference, are groups working that focus on specific areas, such as the International Working Group on Data Protection in Telecommunications, which addresses the field of telecommunications.

The conference has carried its current name since November 15, 2019. Previously, it was called the International Conference of Data Protection and Privacy Commissioners (ICDPPC).[9][10]

Conference dates and cities

[edit]

The first conference took place in 1979 in Bonn. Over the next 20 years, it was primarily held in other European cities and North America. The 21st conference was held for the first time in Asia, thereby taking on a truly global character.[11]

Resolutions

[edit]

In 2003, the conference established a framework for the regular adoption of resolutions. Prior to that, only occasional statements had been published.[41][42]

[The most visible and long-standing network of wide extent, going back some thirty years, is the circle of the world’s privacy commissioners that has met annually to compare experiences, to examine regulatory and technological developments and to respond to (or perhaps procrastinate in the face of) immediate issues. This is the maximal grouping, so far, for global regulation of privacy-invasive information practices and of surveillance but it has yet to achieve an organisational presence that persists from year to year. This perhaps exemplifies and signifies the general inhibitions on the formation of global regulation and, in this example, the effect of financial and organisational resource limitations, as well as national political and legislative constraints upon the further development of commissioners’ roles. Par- ticularly among some national commissions, it may also reflect a certain reluctance to promote further institutionalisation and the pressures of collective decision- making that such institutionalisation would entail. Over the years, in fact, the annual commissioners’ conference, held in different places across the globe, has produced final communiqu´es and resolutions but often with apparent difficulty in concerting views on issues of the day that affect the working of all in their national contexts, or in agreeing on the very propriety of such concertation.] {{cite journal}}: line feed character in |trans-quote= at position 75 (help)

The conference will follow the usual tradition of having open sessions where the wider data protection and privacy community can come together, followed by a closed session for accredited supervisory authorities from around the world. However, this year the programme will be focussed on a single issue: 'A Surveillance Society?' There will be fewer speakers than usual, but there will be a single strand of thought-provoking presentations centred upon a topic that is one of the most challenging facing the data protection and privacy community. Where and how should the boundaries be drawn as technological advances and public and private sector initiatives threaten to build the infrastructure of a surveillance society? We are commissioning a report on the issue in order to provide a focal point for discussion at the conference. {{cite web}}: |author= has generic name (help)
