Yeah, I'm a consumer on this one, not a provider...

Absolutely, Ken.

The call for proposals for the Security Professionals Conference will open in two short weeks.  If your institution 
has been looking into GDPR and has implemented a GDPR plan or process, your colleagues would LOVE it if you would 
share your knowledge at the conference.

Information about how to submit a proposal will be posted to this list when the call for proposals opens.

Thanks,
Joanna

Joanna -

Seems as though this would be a worthwhile topic for Security Professionals Conference as well, although next April 
is clearly too late to begin planning for this.

Hi Everyone,
EDUCAUSE is working to marshal some GDPR resources for IT professionals.  The National Association of College and 
University Attorneys (NACUA) will be presenting a panel presentation on GDPR at the EDUCAUSE Annual Conference this 
fall. In addition, our policy director, Jarret Cummings, is working with another organization to source some blogs 
and other online content about GDPR.  As materials are published, I will be sure to send an alert to this list.

Kind regards,
Joanna

Laura,

No plans (solid/documented/complete) I'm aware of yet, but our compliance audit manager is fairly concerned about 
its potential impact and we are gathering opinions and researching the topic.  Her sense is we will need to take 
steps to comply.  Not being a legal expert myself I'm always in jurisdictional quandaries about regulations from 
other nations and in other states (remember California's privacy rules?) and how those could have tangible impact, 
but so far people closer to this issue than I believe it to be real.  Since CU is very heavily reaching out to 
international students we may have this problem to a greater degree than others.

Sorry nothing specific to report other than it does pay to pay attention here.  I suggest taking this to compliance 
and legal folks for interpretation as they will (or should) have a more sound understanding of the implications.  My 
impression is that if we advertise and register students in GDPR nations we are definitely accountable for any 
actions there, and that given the typical Internet jurisdictional concerns, we probably are here as well.  I don't 
have a handle on what that means from an operational standpoint yet but it looks a bit onerous to me at the moment.  
Yet another set of demands to add to your favorite cross-walk.

Might be a good question for the privacy/policy forums if you don't mind cross-posting a bit.

Best regards,

Jim Dillon

Is there any institution that’s worried about or otherwise doing anything about the GDPR and getting ready for the 
May 2018 “deadline”?  If so, would you be willing to give me a quick overview of what you’re including in your plans?

Thanks,
Laura
