I’m honoured to have been invited to present at this year’s Ontario Access and Privacy Workshop on October 26th and 27th in Toronto. The agenda looks great, and if you’re in the Ontario provincial or municipal public sector or in the Ontario broader public sector I’d encourage you to check out the conference site and consider attending. I’ll be speaking on privacy and cloud computing, here’s the abstract:
Cloud computing holds many opportunities as a model for business computing, yet it is also associated with a number of legal issues that have caught the public eye and invite close scrutiny. Join Dan Michaluk from Hicks Morley in taking a focussed look at these issues. Dan will lead a discussion with a view to helping government administrators develop a strong ability to manage legal issues in assessing, planning for and implementing cloud computing projects. Issues such as:
- Good, bad and ugly cloud computing models
- Applicable regulation and its impact on cross-border transfers
- Laying the groundwork for outsourcing – the importance of due diligence
- The negotiation and the contract
- The Lakehead University and City of Los Angeles outsourcing projects as case studies
I’ve been out here on a Nova Scotian holiday for the last couple weeks reading up on the issue. I posted this piece over at Slaw as a kind of warm-up, but still have some thinking to do, so if you have thoughts or resources please do send them my way. See you there!
Dan
