- Abstract
-
- This RFC is a near-verbatim copy of a document, known as NADF-265,
- which has been produced by the North American Directory Forum (NADF).
-
- User Bill of Rights
- for entries and listings
- in the Public Directory
-
- The mission of the North American Directory Forum is to provide
- interconnected electronic directories which empower users with
- unprecedented access to public information. To address significant
- security and privacy issues, the North American Directory Forum
- introduces the following "User Bill of Rights" for entries in the
- Public Directory. As a user, you have:
-
- I. The right not to be listed.
-
- II. The right to have you or your agent informed when
- your entry is created.
-
- III. The right to examine your entry.
-
- IV. The right to correct inaccurate information in your
- entry.
-
- V. The right to remove specific information from your
- entry.
-
- VI. The right to be assured that your listing in the
- Public Directory will comply with US or Canadian law
- regulating privacy or access information.
-
- VII. The right to expect timely fulfillment of these rights.

- Scope of Intent - User Bill of Rights
-
- The North American Directory Forum is a collection of service
- providers that plan to offer a cooperative directory service in North
- America. This is achieved by interconnecting electronic directories
- using a set of internationally developed standards known as the CCITT
- X.500 series.
-
- In this context, the "Directory" represents the collection of
- electronic directories administered by both service providers and
- private operators. When an entry containing information about a user
- is listed in the Directory, that information can be accessed unless
- restricted by security and privacy controls.
-
- A portion of the Directory -- The Public Directory -- contains
- information for public dissemination. In contrast, other portions of
- the Directory may contain information not intended for public access.
- A user or user's agent may elect to list information in the Public
- Directory, a private directory, or some combination. For example, a
- user might publicly list a telephone number or an electronic mail
- address, and might designate other information for specific private
- use.
-
- The User Bill of Rights pertains to the Public Directory.
-
- Security Considerations
-
- Security issues are not discussed in this memo.
