New WG6 Brainstorming Group - International Internal and Government Investigations
WG6 seeks volunteers to brainstorm on the interplay of international data privacy regulations and internal and government investigations. The brainstorming group will be expected to review The Sedona Conference International Investigations Principles ("Principles") and consider whether WG6 should draft a supplement to Principles or a stand-alone Commentary that provides practical and current guidance for issues not addressed in Principles, such as the involvement of AI and other current, applicable technologies, as well as changes in laws that may present new concerns.
Brainstorming group members will be expected to actively participate in regularly scheduled phone conferences to brainstorm on work product ideas. Members will also be expected to participate in the drafting of a detailed outline that allows a subsequent drafting team to prepare work product consistent with standards of The Sedona Conference.
In order to apply for the brainstorming group, you must be a member of WG6. If you are interested in applying for the brainstorming group, but are not yet a member of WG6, please become a member by signing up for a Working Group Series (WGS) membership. Once a WGS member, one is eligible to take part in the activities of all Working Groups, including WG6. If you have any questions about how to sign up for a membership or encounter any difficulties while doing so, please contact our office at [email protected] or +1(602) 258-4910.
In order to be considered for the brainstorming group, please complete the questionnaire found here and submit no later than 9:00 am EDT on Monday, August 5, 2024.
