User Bill of Rights for entries and listings in the Public Directory

RFC 1295                  User Bill of Rights               January 1992


Scope of Intent - User Bill of Rights

   The North American Directory Forum is a collection of service
   providers that plan to offer a cooperative directory service in North
   America.  This is achieved by interconnecting electronic directories
   using a set of internationally developed standards known as the CCITT
   X.500 series.

   In this context, the "Directory" represents the collection of
   electronic directories administered by both service providers and
   private operators.  When an entry containing information about a user
   is listed in the Directory, that information can be accessed unless
   restricted by security and privacy controls.

   A portion of the Directory -- The Public Directory -- contains
   information for public dissemination.  In contrast, other portions of
   the Directory may contain information not intended for public access.
   A user or user's agent may elect to list information in the Public
   Directory, a private directory, or some combination.  For example, a
   user might publicly list a telephone number or an electronic mail
   address, and might designate other information for specific private
   use.

   The User Bill of Rights pertains to the Public Directory.
