Thanks @GeorgeSerafeim for your great keynote presentation at the Nasdaq ESG Environmental, Social, Corporate Governance summit (re was socially responsible investing). I've blogged about this here https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/09/golden-ringed-dragonfly-nasdaq-esg.html & re https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Investing_-_Socially_Responsible @LesliePicker @NelsonGriggs ~

It's this June 9, 2020 email to the following, and this Stanford Law SVDX Environmental, Social, and Corp. Governance (ESG) panel - https://www.svdx.org/past-events/2020/6/9/webinar-esg-resiliency-in-a-time-of-turmoil (https://www.svdx.org/past-events/2020/9/webinar-spacs) - that lead to attending today the "Virtual Nasdaq ESG Summit taking place on September 22, 2020" ...

Dear Larry, Govind, Yuping, Jayni, Kyle, Tito, Juan, Julian, WUaS Board members, & All, 

One of the panelists today - "Kellie Huennekens is Head of ESG Research at Nasdaq" - is from Nasdaq - https://www.svdx.org/calendar/2020/6/9/esg-resiliency-in-a-time-of-turmoil-webinar .  Brainstorming-wise further, could the NASDAQ stock exchange fund, or invest in, the emerging Silicon Valley long term stock exchange, which has passed one SEC hurdle? And could the WUaS Corporation list itself on this emergent stock exchange, 'under the wing of Alphabet/Google'?  Stay tuned (and these SVDX presentations are open I think; I met Yuping in a Stanford Law SVDX meeting, for example).

ESG is an acronym for 'environmental, social, and governance' and refers to socially responsible investing (for which there's 1 + wiki subject at WUaS as well - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Investing_-_Socially_Responsible and relating to https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Index_Investing and https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Peace_and_Social_Justice_Studies and other f/Friendly concerns).

Sincerely, Scott


Nancy,
Thanks so much for adding this question to the list for today's webinar - https://www.svdx.org/calendar/2020/6/9/esg-resiliency-in-a-time-of-turmoil-webinar: 

"Brainstorming-wise, what role could UBI experiments in all ~200 countries and their main languages, in order to distribute a single cryptocurrency (with block chain ledger), facilitate further ESG goals, (and even conceptually regarding all 7.5 billion people, re universal, to alleviate poverty)? What if a hypothetical "Mine Pi" (coded by Stanford students), or a "Bitcoin" could even be listed, by a company with its Board, on the emerging Silicon Valley long term stock exchange (which has passed one SEC hurdle, I've read) - and, for example, to address the 40 million unemployment claims in the US due to the novel coronavirus pandemic? Thank you, Scott (sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org)"

... and, for further question context for panelists, such a single cryptocurrency would be backed by some number of ~200 countries' central banks (post Euro in 19 out of 28 nation states, and post dollar as de facto international currency)? This could be because WUaS Law Schools in all ~200 countries' official languages code for this, and our WUaS Law Faculty teach this too - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Law_School. 
 
Sincerely, 
Scott

Stanford Law CodeX  ... and Identity Verification ... 

(last Thursday)

In email: 

Ramona, 

I'm curious how we might explore developing this further conceptually. Could we even explore a conference call together? In developing MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School, WUaS would like to plan to code for all 7.5 billion people on the planet, in all ~200 countries (https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/You%20at%20WUaS). How might we focus this with regard to the GDPR, and your presentation? Thank you.

Thank you, Ramona, for your great Stanford Law CodeX presentation now! Am interested in exploring building out identity verification even re Wikidata Q-tiem #. Best regards, Scott ( scottmacleod.com and worlduniversityandschool.org and https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States )

Ramona, what endeavors do you see so far in Europe regarding building out identity verification and GDPR? Thank you, Scott - (In what ways could a collaboration between Europe and California, legally and technically help, for ex., and even regarding the You at WUaS idea - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2020/09/agenda-news-for-open-world-univ-sch.html - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/09/asian-emerald-cuckoo-agenda-news-for.html ?)


Ramona Weik:  

Hi Scott, sorry for taking a little while to respond. I'm pretty busy . So, to answer your question, as I pointed out in the meeting I can only speak for my experiences with the right of access. Many companies appear to be insecure about how to verify identity best. GDPR states that verification methods and procedures that are already being used e. g. regarding online accounts should be used before requesting additional verification data. Also, identity verification is especially required if there are reasonabe doubts that the requestor is not the person the personal information belongs to. However, many companies in Europe prefer the "safest way" and verify identity rather a little too much than risking compliance failure. So, in Germany the ID card copy -from my experience- is one of the most often used means to ensure identity. The problem is that, if you request access electronically, they often want you to send the ID card copy via mail, which - if they don't offer safe transmission- poses additional risks on the data of data subjects. To decide which ID verification method is the best depends a lot on how the company works. To find a common standard is difficult, since e. g. health data is a lot more sensitive than IP addresses. To decide which method should be used, the types of data, the organization structure, risk assesment and other factors should be taken into account. I can't really tell which steps have been taken to find a common standard. Apparently, there isn't enough jurisdiction either. What I remember is that the EU will review GDPR implications this year. Maybe they'll come up with some ideas for further clarification, also regarding ID verification.

In my opinion, there are many organizations who can be grouped, e. g. online retailers. Maybe the approach for different groups with similar types of data coud be useful.

Hope this'll help a bit. 

Best, 

Ramona



Scott MacLeod  10:54 AM

Thanks so much, Ramona! (Thanks to your Stanford Law CodeX I touched on identity verification in World Univ & Sch's Monthly Business Meeting, the recent Agenda & News, and in today's WUaS News, Q&A, and Livestream - https://youtu.be/IsBrCEdfCk8 and https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/09/asian-emerald-cuckoo-agenda-news-for.html - and am thinking in terms of identity verification for all 7.5 billion people, each a Wikidata Q-item # / Wikidata PIN #, and even retinal, fingerprint, or genetic identity verification from all 7 billion smart phones with time - and with legal privacy issues worked out: ). More later. Best regards, Scott

Argyri, In what ways could a collaboration between Europe and California, legally and technically help, for ex., and regarding court documents' access?

To my knowledge this is difficult- The EU has too many different jurisdictions and judicial systems with different rules about public access to judicial decisions. But courts do look at each other at a certain level, so I think that the more developments come from one side Eg California, the more the pressure on EU courts to open and allow access to more material.


Great to know about WUaS - thank you for the information

How related EU jurisdictions/ systems' and California law questions come together legally, and information technology-wise newly, and in conversation even, are fascinating - and re court documents. Perhaps World Univ & Sch's law faculties can even begin to teach about these questions, and in the process develop new law - perhaps even regarding identity verification in both places, and re the GDPR / CCPA too. Might your court documents' research find further form with these two systems? (Do you use Google Translate very much in your court documents' research? WUaS is seeking to create a Universal Translator too for such, and re NLP https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/WUaS_Universal_Translator).


Thank you for your CodeX talk, and your message, Argyri! - Best regards, Scott (WUaS is seeking to code for all 7.5 billion people on the planet for a number of initial reasons at You at WUaS - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University, each a Wikidata Q-item # or derivative Wikidata PIN# ... in what ways could this relate to your court documents' research, I wonder? ... https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Law ) Thank you!
