Givotovsky Charter

Name
The Givotovsky "New Digital Deal" Working Group

Purpose
This working group has as its primary focus to improve individual's control over their personal information by leveraging the ground-breaking conceptual framework of the late Nicholas Givotovsky dubbed "The New Digital Deal" which leverages existing copyright law as a privacy protection in today's Web 2.0 environment.

Principles
"In addition to the Identity Commons principles, this Working Group shall rely upon Roberts Rules of Order for all procedural requirements not specified by the Identity Commons principles or governance rules.
