Consumer Protection and the Sharing Economy: Ontario Pilot
Hi everyone,
I thought this was very interesting given standards discussions about consumer issues related to the sharing economy at ISO/COPOLCO and other forums recently.

e-cigs to be banned in public places and work places in Ottawa?
It has been an active week for e-cigarettes this first week of December. On Thursday the e-cigarette committee was set up at ISO (ISO/TC126/SC3). Today, the Ottawa Board of Health votes on a motion to regulate "e-cigarettes and smoking of non-tobacco combustible substances in public places and work places." I guess since the province of Ontario sent out mixed messages last month, it's time for the municipal governments to step up? Too extreme? A good idea? I'm very interested in your thoughts and also of the thoughts of different consumer groups and affected groups in Ottawa.
Preliminary Gap Analysis - ISO/COPOLCO
At COPOLCO’s request Peter Eisenegger, as COPOLCO’s key person for data protection and
privacy, has under taken a preliminary gap analysis and produced this report for COPOLCO.
The review and its report is a first step in the COPOLCO process of identifying and confirming
gaps that there might be in current international standards addressing consumer/citizen privacy
needs.
this is for your information, however please don't hesitate to send us your comments and feedback if you wish to do so.
Regards
