in the Public Directory
Status of this Memo
This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does
not specify an Internet standard. Distribution of this memo is
unlimited.
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.

RFC 1295 User Bill of Rights January 1992
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
