If we are to intervene on this, we need to think how we can do the following: a) Define boundaries of what data should be collected for UID b) Define access terms and conditions c) Define what cannot be done with the data collected d) No penalties for opting out if this is a voluntary scheme as stated > Finally, there is talk about having a technical meeting with the UIDAI > architects sometime in the future. This again would require preparation. We need to be about what is being done -- UID documents, to be reviewed Technical preparations on what and how it should be done Techno-economic analysis of UID scheme taking into account the costs as opposed to benefits. > Raj, not sure would call our participation "flag flying", might sound too militaristic :) Prabir _______________________________________________ network mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fosscom.in/listinfo.cgi/network-fosscom.in
