[44net] Re: Regarding Address Verification

In all those private information laws there are parts that do limit the amount of information an entity need to give a service. But it is also noted that the amont of information needed to deliver a service can and will change or vary depending on the specific service. A seller of cell phone wont be able to retreive more than what is needed to sell the comunication service. But ARDC need more than what a simple seller of stuff need. One cannot use that as an excuse to not proof who he/she is and hope to get something in return. What ARDC will need to do is make sure those data are not spread all over the place. And for that I am sure the design of the new portal limit who have access to what. Of for what amount of time the PII will be kept. ( most of the time it is no more than necessary to the intended use it was given for) On the fact that someone can be ID by information available on ardc portal. Evry time you ID on the air you do the same thing. It is part of being able to use those air waves. Our callsign is a PII but all the laws I have seen about ham radio communication state that the information of the user and station need to be publicly known. If we are to self police our bands, we need that. And the public too.

Would a second verification be necessary? If it's in the name of a club or RACES organization, what would I need to do to validate (verifiable letters from the government sponsor may be easier than verification of the postal address of these gov't facilities). Lastly I wanted to note, comments being made about deleted PII seem to forget the fact the Portal/process then proceeds to require a Ham to enter a postal address that matches their license/QRZ/whatever. In FCC land at least, such a match is obviously PII (and now matched to public/44net IPs/hostnames associated to an individual). I respect and applaud the notion and the due diligence, I just wanted to clarify that point. I digress in reiterating like others - how the process will become nearly impossible in Europe and other areas, due to growing privacy regulations, requiring the Ham to transfer more PII to ARDC. 73, Lynwood KB3VWG
