Report of the Interception of Communications Commissioner - March 2015
of working with academics, technical experts and privacy advocates. My office intends to
continue to engage with and seek advice from key individuals with expertise in relevant
fields. I am also aware that my office would benefit from more resource and expertise in
some key areas, such as technical and legal.
2.21 I was interested to learn that one of our international counterparts, the Dutch
Review Committee on the Intelligence and Security Services (CTIVD), has a formal power
to commission experts to perform certain tasks, for example to support the CTIVD to
closely monitor, advise and inform it on the relevant technological, legal and societal
developments, or to provide feedback on the contents, coherence and relevance of
investigations and reports. This is a good initiative.
