Global interoperability. Privacy leadership. The right to be forgotten. Glenn Greenwald. This 2015 IAPP Global Privacy Summit had it all and generated, and continues to generate, a lot of news. In case you missed any of the headlines, here's a roundup of some of the stories we reported.

The Responsibility of Operationalizing the Right To Be Forgotten
By Angelique Carson
Since last year's European Court of Justice ruling that Google must delete links to personal information when an individual requests it, debates have ensued globally in courts of public opinion on whether a search engine should control what should be searchable public information and what shouldn't. The ruling meant some big changes for Google, and the company’s senior privacy counsel said at the IAPP Global Privacy Summit it “didn’t flinch” when the ruling came down and had manually evaluated 226,000 individual requests for take-down as of March 3.

Regulators To Collaborate More, But How?
By Angelique Carson
Data protection regulators on stage at the IAPP Global Privacy Summit recently for the session "The Enforcers" were clear on one thing: There must be more collaboration amongst those charged with keeping consumers safe from harm. What exactly that collaboration will look like, however, remains to be seen.

FTC Officials Concerned About Jurisdiction After FCC Net Neutrality Order
By Jedidiah Bracy
Several high-ranking Federal Trade Commission (FTC) officials expressed concern recently that a move by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) could undermine some of the FTC’s enforcement authority. The FCC’s decision to reclassify broadband providers as public utilities effectively removes that entire Internet service provider industry segment from the FTC’s enforcement authority.

Is a U.S. Consumer Privacy Law Finally on the Way?
By Angelique Carson
In late February, the Obama administration released its much-anticipated draft for a Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights Act of 2015. If the speakers who populated the session on the prospects for a U.S. consumer privacy law, including Sidley Austin’s Cam Kerry, Microsoft’s Mike Hintze, CIPP/C, CIPP/E, CIPP/G, CIPP/US, CIPM, CIPT, and the Center for Democracy and Technology’s Nuala O’Connor, CIPP/G, CIPP/US, provide an indication of how actual negotiations on the bill might play out, it could be a bumpy ride to President Barack Obama's desk.

Data-Breach Bootcamp: When Do You Disclose?
By Angelique Carson
At the Data Breach Notification Bootcamp, Liisa Thomas led a packed room through a privacy pro's hypothetical nightmare: Your organization has detected a potential breach incident. What do you do next?

Are You Ready for Binding Corporate Rules?
By Joseph Wholley III
“Do you really want to put yourself up for the scrutiny of a regulator?” Jannine Aston, director of privacy compliance and policy, international, at Verizon Business, posed that question to assembled attendees before explaining the litany of benefits associated with approved Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs). Along with Sian Rudgard, CIPP/E, of counsel at Hogan Lovells, Aston spoke about the process of forming BCRs for European data transfers and the many considerations for deciding if BCRs are right for your company. One of the most daunting is that initial and singular question.

Privacy: An Essential Ingredient in Failure and Success
By Angelique Carson
Why does privacy matter? That was the question Harvard Prof. Michael Sandel asked his virtual classroom of 3,000 privacy pros to kick off his Global Privacy Summit keynote, and it was the question taken up by historian and curator Sara Lewis in her closing keynote recalling stories of famous failures. But what does failing and then succeeding have to do with privacy and why it matters? Well, it turns out, quite a bit.

Greenwald's Call to Privacy Pros: Subverting Injustice Rests on Your Shoulders
By Angelique Carson
When Glenn Greenwald addressed the thousands of privacy professionals who came to hear the now-famous journalist speak at the Global Privacy Summit, his message to them was plain and simple: You have the power to change the injustices that exist and, in fact, as a citizen of the world, it’s your duty to do so.

Gender by the Numbers in Data Protection Authorities
By Elizabeth Elsbach
With the very popular Women Leading Privacy events at this year's Summit, we added a wrinkle to a recent effort to update the information for contacting global data protection authorities (DPAs). What does gender equality look like in DPA leadership? A cursory glance at the numbers would tell a casual observer that, out of 150 DPAs, 74 are headed by men, 42 are headed by women and 34 are non-agency safeguards, such as court systems. But those numbers do not tell the whole story.
