<div dir="ltr">Consider that GDPR's compliance is not close to the priorities of IT leaders in Africa for 2017, this means that we are exposed to problems. The GDPR - the<i> General Data Protection Regulation</i> - will always be a major challenge, as it broadens the scope of issues that organizations need to consider when planning their data strategy.<div><br></div><div>In Europe, this law on data protection has been finalized. This is called the <i>General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)</i> and will replace local data protection laws. The EU institutions have respected their promises to eliminate red tape for business but also to strengthen privacy protections for individuals. This means that privacy rules will change and organizations that process personal information will need to adapt.</div><div><br></div><div>There are lines that can not be crossed. There are rules on the game. But within limits and according to the rules, one is limited by one's own creativity to achieve its objectives. One must be sure to navigate the risk of confidentiality, to remain in the rules of the game, while allowing privacy to be a business facilitator and to use personal data to increase customer confidence.</div><div><br></div><div><b style="background-color:rgb(255,255,0)">WHAT IS THE CASE IN AFRICA?</b></div><div><br></div><div>In my opinion, Barrack's proposal merits special attention.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">2017-09-12 8:23 GMT+01:00 Baudouin SCHOMBE <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:baudouin.schombe@gmail.com" target="_blank">baudouin.schombe@gmail.com</a>></span>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div><div style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt">++1@Barrack</div></div><div dir="ltr"><hr><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold">De : </span><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt"><a href="mailto:otieno.barrack@gmail.com" target="_blank">Barrack Otieno</a></span><br><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold">Envoyé : </span><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt">11/09/2017 08:18</span><br><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold">À : </span><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt"><a href="mailto:arsenebaguma@gmail.com" target="_blank">Arsène Tungali</a></span><br><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold">Cc : </span><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt"><a href="mailto:afri-discuss@atlarge-lists.icann.org" target="_blank">Afri-Discuss</a>; <a href="mailto:africann@afrinic.net" target="_blank">AfrICANN Community List</a></span><br><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold">Objet : </span><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt">Re: [AFRI-Discuss] Call for a theme for the Joint AFRALO/AfrICANNMeeting at ICANN 60 Abu Dhabi</span><br><br></div><div><div class="h5"><div dir="ltr"><div><div>Dear Aziz,<br><br></div>I would like to propose, the effect of General Data Protection Regulation on Internet Commerce in Africa.
