ACTION REQUIRED! advancing guidance and handbook
by Alessandra Calvi 10 Aug '20

10 Aug '20

Dear all, this is to update you on the feedback received so far concerning the guidance for DPAs and handbook for SMEs. For the Guidance for DPAs, we did not receive substantial comments on how to improve it, it is generally clear and understandable. Since there was interest in the questions raised by SMEs and the level of details of the replies given by NAIH, perhaps we could include some Q&A in an annex, but it is a decision of NAIH. @David Barnard-Wills<mailto:David.Barnard-Wills@trilateralresearch.com>, Lina told me that TRI offered to take care of the layout of the Guidance (for online publication). Could you please get in touch with your graphic designers and follow up? It would be great to have the Guidance ready for online publication by Thursday 20 August, so we can share it with speakers and participants a couple of weeks before the event. You may use the document in attachment as starting point. For the Handbook for SMEs, it was noted that the document is comprehensive but still too complex and theoretical. More real-life examples and practical advice would be beneficial. VUB is working on further simplifying the theoretical part, but @Gábor KULITSÁN<mailto:kulitsan.gabor@naih.hu>, @'Nagy Renáta'<mailto:nagy.renata@naih.hu> and @Julia SZIKLAY<mailto:sziklay.julia@naih.hu>, for the real-life examples and practical advice, we need NAIH help. In attachment, you may find the draft D4.1 that was circulated for feedback in May. For each topic, I included some yellow boxes where you may include further real-life examples and practical advice/tips on how to implement certain provisions of the GDPR in practice, on the basis of the questions received and the replies given via the hotline. Please also refer to decisions issued by NAIH concerning SMEs (if any). It would be great if you may send your contribution by Thursday 6 August so that, around mid-August, we can share the updated handbook with TRI for comments and finalize it before the event. Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you in advance for your support and cooperation. Best regards, Alessandra Calvi, LL.M.

Draft Agenda Validation workshop
by Alessandra Calvi 06 Jul '20

06 Jul '20

Dear Gabor, dear all, Please find enclosed a draft programme for the online validation workshop on STARII guidance and on the handbook, now scheduled for Thursday 3 September 2020 from 12:00 to 14:30. Probably, the platform will be Microsoft teams or Microsoft live events. This is an internal version and none of the proposed speakers has been contacted yet (except from Mr Hijmans. Before leaving, Lina anticipated him we would have invited him as a speaker for an event in September, but he did not confirm yet). It would be great if the entire consortium could provide support to workshop by making presentations or moderating the panels. I made some suggestions concerning the possible roles. The proposed format is very much dynamic and interactive, and presupposes that the panellists are familiar with STAR II work. Accordingly, the proposed speakers (except one) have already provided more or less extended and critical feedback on the guidance and on the handbook. Of course, if you have some other potential speakers in mind, please let me know. You will notice that there are two proposed people from Belgian DPA (Mr Hijmans and Ms Peneva). Ms Peneva is coordinating the project BOOST<https://www.autoriteprotectiondonnees.be/projet-boost-pour-les-pme>, that supports SMEs compliance with the GDPR, too. I believe inviting both her and Mr Hijmans would be a good way to create synergy and increase the visibility of our projects, but let me know if the agenda looks too unbalanced. I would very much appreciate if you may provide me a feedback on the programme and on the agenda by Tuesday 7 July EOB, so that I can start inviting the speakers before summer holidays. It would be great also to have already the names of the consortium members who would like to present/moderate (if any). In that respect, please keep in mind gender balance. I am looking forward to hearing from you. In the meantime, have a lovely weekend! Alessandra Alessandra Calvi, LL.M.
