One of Jisc’s activities is to monitor and, where possible, influence regulatory developments that affect us and our customer universities, colleges and schools as operators of large computer networks. Since Janet and its customer networks are classified by Ofcom as private networks, postings here are likely to concentrate on the regulation of those networks. Postings here are, to the best of our knowledge, accurate on the date they are made, but may well become out of date or unreliable at unpredictable times thereafter. Before taking action that may have legal consequences, you should talk to your own lawyers. NEW: To help navigate the many posts on the General Data Protection Regulation, I've classified them as most relevant to developing a GDPR compliance process, GDPR's effect on specific topics, or how the GDPR is being developed.

Networkshop 2010

Wednesday, June 6, 2012 - 10:00

Last week JANET(UK) held its 38th Networkshop in Manchester and a thoroughly enjoyable and informative event it was.

I gave a couple of presentations: one on the privacy and legal issues around providing researchers with access to data off production networks and one a review of developments in networking law in the past year and what might come along in 2010/11.

I don't yet know whether I'll be on the programme for Networkshop 39, to be held at the University of Hertfordshire next April. With luck it'll be a less "interesting" year law-wise and the report will be a lot shorter. But I'm sure the conference will be as interesting and enjoyable.
