A special working group charged with coming up with changes to the Whois service that bring it in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) published its initial report on 21 November 2018 and opened it up for public comment. The Initial Report responds to the call to answer a set of questions and determine if the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data should become a General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)-compliant ICANN Consensus Policy as is, or one with modifications.
ICANN’s next meeting will be held in Barcelona from 20 – 25 October. Key highlights of the agenda include the working sessions of the Policy Development Processes dealing with issues around future releases of new gTLDs and rights protection mechanisms.
