  1. Subcommittee Status Report December 11, 2013 NGACGEOLOCATION PRIVACY

  2. Geolocation Privacy Guidance • The subject of geolocation privacy is a complex and multi-faceted issue that has potential impacts on multiple sectors of the geospatial community. The NGAC Privacy Subcommittee is asked to provide a brief paper summarizing the key issues of concern related to geolocation privacy from the perspective of the non-Federal geospatial community.* * October 2013 FGDC Guidance to NGAC

  3. Subcommittee Membership • Chair: Joanne Irene Gabrynowicz • Members: Keith Clarke, Matthew Gentile, Doug Richardson, Tony Spicci, Molly Vogt • Support: Bob Austin, John Mahoney, Tricia Gibbons

  4. Activities • Subcommittee Webinars Wednesday, November 20, 2013 and Tuesday, December 3, 2013 • Brainstorming • Discussion • Reviewed NGAC materials from September 2012 Spotlight Session and Geolocation Privacy briefing paper

  5. Key Issues Brainstorm: Geolocation Privacy • No clear federal policy or policy lead • Lack of common or accepted definition – the beginning, maybe a start from the community then get the specific communities and privacy folks involved. Will provide focus – working definition to get the discussion started. • Term “privacy” is so cross-cutting, impacting legal, health, etc. Affects many different programs. What can NGAC address?

  6. Key Issues Brainstorm: Geolocation Privacy • What about the context – natural resource, health, national security, archeology, etc. Level of concern may impact level of privacy needed. • Consider inventorying communities that would have a vested interest. • Need to go to a fair policy with interests involved. What are the elements of a clear, fair geolocation privacy policy? • Consider exploring the issue from multiple perspectives – technical as well as policy solutions

  7. Key Findings/Learnings • This is an enormous subject • Need to narrow subject for NGAC consideration • Need to engage with the larger community

  8. Next Steps • Review Gellman’s fair privacy policy elements • Sept 2012 NGAC meeting. • Consider inventorying specific communities with an interest in geolocation privacy issues (e.g., State and local government organizations) to examine approaches and best practices. • Determine concern, definition, technical solutions, or policy with respect to geolocation privacy issues. • Consider exploring technical solutions to address geolocation privacy concerns • Consider a spotlight session in upcoming NGAC meeting
