The Chambre des notaires corrects its position on the management of digital identities and assets
Earlier this week, I reported that Antonin Fortin, Director of Communications and Assistant to the President of the Chambre des notaires du Québec (CNQ, notaries’ professional corporation), wrote about management of digital identities and assets in case of death or incapacity:
We are talking about a complex, relatively new and evolving phenomenon. In addition, the CNQ cannot substitute itself to the legislator and “create” law in this matter. To our knowledge, there is no guide to meet your expectations.
(My translation)
Having been invited to an interview on the subject on La Sphère radio show on Radio-Canada’s Première Chaine on Saturday, February 4, I wanted to get confirmation that this response did represent the official position of the corporation.
On the phone, Mr. Fortin told me that he read again my emails and then realized that he had not properly understood what was their subject-matter. He said that the official position of the Chambre des notaire would rather be that it asked Mr. Salvas Bertrand, a notary who works mainly in training and is interested in this subject, to study the issue and quickly formulate recommendations. These could possibly take the form of advices, guides and training contents.
Specifically, Antonin Fortin said he had forwarded my emails and my proposals to Mr. Salvas.
That is reassuring. Indeed, is the mission of a professional corporation not precisely to protect the public?

On paper, the program looked fantastic. But in practice, it was a disaster.
A must read for +Maxwell Wessel's anecdote about computer flagging of patients who were "switchers" (get prescriptions from more than one pharmacy chains). Another reminder that other actors also have expectations, needs, habits. Design or upgrade of interpersonal systems must take them into account.

"Six Provocations for Big Data" by +danah boyd & Kate Crawford*
Abstract:
"The era of Big Data has begun." (…) Many "are clamoring for access to the massive quantities of information produced by and about people, things, and their interactions." (…) "Significant questions emerge. Will large-scale analysis of DNA help cure diseases? Or will it usher in a new wave of medical inequality? Will data analytics help make people’s access to information more efficient and effective? Or will it be used to track protesters in the streets of major cities? Will it transform how we study human communication and culture, or narrow the palette of research options and alter what ‘research’ means? Some or all of the above?"

The Ecommerce Revolution Is All About You, i.e.: profiling + data mining = personalization
"There’s implicit data (which is gained from your everyday actions on a retailer’s site) and explicit data (which you offer to sites via surveys or quizzes). While retailers are doing more with the implicit data (i.e. reminding you when you left items in your shopping cart); no one has yet mastered the art of capturing that precious explicit data."
"The challenge for the data mining community is actually figuring out the intent in much of the unstructured data that is posted about retail products and brands on Facebook. And it’s important to keep in mind that some of this data from Facebook users is private."

The Chambre des notaires abdicates management of digital identities and assets
Last week I reported that my notary declared that she was unable to help me manage the components of my digital of identities and assets in case of death (will) or inability (mandate).
I also described calling the legal information service of the Chambre des notaires du Québec (notaries’ professional corporation). The answering notary found my questions quite relevant and about pressing issues. However, she told me that the corporation had no available guide, checklist, standard clauses for will or mandate in case of incapacity, nor specific training to its members about these issues.
After publishing this article, I wrote to Jean Lambert, president of the Chambre des notaires (CNQ). I briefly described my situation and actions I took before asking the following questions:
Are there any guides, checklists, model provisions or tips on these topics?
If not, what are you waiting for to help us to live and die peacefully in this twenty-first century?
Response from the Chambre des notaires
In the absence of Mr. Lambert, it was Mr. Antonin Fortin, director of Communications and assistant to the president who responded: (more…)

Worth reading: Adam Thierer's review of 'Consent of the Networked: The Worldwide Struggle for Internet Freedom'
Not only because of the growing power struggles over networks and contents, but also because of the crucial political debate about which strategies to maintain and expand freedom and democracy.
Thierer does nail some good critics, such as his section arguing that to treat Google and Facebook as "sovereign" (kind of Googledom, Facebookistan) is a self-fulfilling prophecy. But sometimes his critics of MacKinnon may read as weak as his presentation of her own case. His definition of "sovereign" reads a bit too classical XIXth century for contemporary realities. I also find his quest for a Net free from State intervention as naive as the quest for enlighten State regulation. The very protection of 47 U.S.C. § 230 he applauds because it shields online operators from liability for information posted or published on their systems by users actually is a State intervention that, not only has permitted the Yelp, Twitter, eBay to flourish, but also permitted them to become sort of public services.
Thierer recommends reading this book: I will certainly follow it. And I definitely recommend reading his take on it. I will certainly re-read it, and study both.

A simple reminder about to how to understand our world:
We are living in a increasingly bureaucratic organisation of organisations
"There are three main frames people use to understand why the world is the way it is. (…)
The first frame is economics. (…)
Another frame concerns ideas and ideology. (…)
A third sees the contemporary world as shaped by histories of imperialism and the division of the world between the West and the rest. (…)
The fourth way of seeing the modern world rarely appears as the central reason why things happen, as the big explanation. But it pervades our everyday conversation: (…) bureaucratic organisation. Everywhere, in public and private life, we encounter a chaotic medley of organisations."
