Office of the Privacy Commissioner of New Zealand launches privacy breach reporting tool
You likely won’t see big breaking news headlines, but kudos to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of New Zealand, who have just launched a new tool to help organizations and businesses determine whether they need to notify OPC of a privacy breach. As seen on their site:
Privacy Commissioner John Edwards says NotifyUs will help organisations determine whether a breach has caused, or could cause, serious harm, and guide them through the reporting process.
“We want the privacy breach pre-assessment and reporting process to be straightforward,” says Mr Edwards. “NotifyUs has undergone extensive testing ahead of today’s launch to ensure the guidance is clear and easy to follow. I encourage people to use it in advance of the new legislation taking effect on 1 December.”
Visit NotifyUs.
OPC’s also has new resources on privacy breach reporting, including a short e-learning module and breach reporting brochure.

Why Your Board Needs a Plan for AI Oversight
We can safely defer the discussion about whether artificial intelligence will eventually take over board functions. We cannot, however, defer the discussion about how boards will oversee AI — a discussion that’s relevant whether organizations are developing AI systems or buying AI-powered software. With the technology in increasingly widespread use, it’s time for every board to develop a proactive approach for overseeing how AI operates within the context of an organization’s overall mission and risk management.
The probable future?
Can Grand Juries Go Virtual … and Should They?: ‘Holding Court’ with Judge Glenn Grant in New Jersey
… Thanks to its unified structure and integrated computer system, the New Jersey courts made a relatively quick transition to working remotely this spring when the state was hit hard in the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Grant says that his CIO described what was accomplished in six days—getting court personnel up-and-working from home—as something that should have been done with six months of planning and six years of investment. “We really did have this extraordinary technological investment in our system,” Grant says. “But the pandemic expedited that transformation in an extraordinary way.”
Put this down in the “extraordinary” category, as well: New Jersey launched a pilot program in June to conduct grand jury proceedings remotely. As my friends at the New Jersey Law Journal have reported, the move to go remote drew criticism from both defense lawyers and prosecutors who expressed doubts that the pool of grand jurors could reflect the demographics of New Jersey as a whole. Critics also questioned whether grand jurors considering charging decisions from their homes and apartments could maintain the privacy inherent to the grand jury process.

Federation for Advanced Manufacturing Education – classic apprenticeship program
“The Federation for Advanced Manufacturing Education (FAME) is a classic apprenticeship program that combines classroom learning with paid on-the-job experience, teaching skills in demand across an industry. A new report by Opportunity America president Tamar Jacoby and Brookings Institution senior fellow emeritus Ron Haskins draws on focus groups, an online survey and data from the state of Kentucky to shed light on the program and its outcomes for apprentices. Data show that FAME graduates in Kentucky earn between 60 percent and 100 percent more than other career and technical education graduates from the same community colleges. The message for policymakers: earn-and-learn training works, and the nation should redouble its efforts to take the model to scale.”
