Roles
• Government
– Sets the framework & Benchmarks
• Regulator (Privacy Commissioner)
– Implements & enforces

The Challenge• The Law cannot keep up
– “the law moves 30 x slower than the Net”
– Net = many small players with potential large impact (in addition to the large players with large impact!)
• Search for market based solutions
– Law seen as stifling innovation
• Australia a large global player
– 3% of global stock market capitalisation
– ~50% Australian Christmas 1999 online purchases were from offshore Web sites (AFR, 29 Dec 1999)

The Implications
• Privacy Commissioners also need to work globally Need to encourage Privacy Commissioners to
work together Need to learn how to do it
• Different role & different tools – no direct backing in law Be heard Consumer education Cooperation – work with Seals
![Page 7: MALCOLM CROMPTON FEDERAL PRIVACY COMMISSIONER Building Trust in the Online Environment: Business to Consumer Dispute Resolution The Hague 11-12 December](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022082817/56649e115503460f94afe0ef/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Hence the Seals project• Pilot – 3 leading Seals
– 2 Commissioners’ Offices working together, Ontario & Australia
– Other Commissioners as mentors
• Begin at beginning
– Develop methodology
• Principles – OECD
• Dispute resolution – Australian Benchmarks
• Compliance

Any lessons ?• Privacy Commissioners need to re-
think their roles
• Online world delivers much less command & control
– Cooperation, partners, create demand
– “Move at internet speed”
– Strategic
– Nike?
