    <p>+1 to Jyoti's comments.  I've read the same article and in fact,
      2015 was the "tipping point" when more countries in the world had
      adopted comprehensive data protection laws (following the model of
      Europe) than sectoral privacy laws (following the model of the
      US). Countries outside of Europe with <b>comprehensive data
        protection laws </b>include Japan, Canada, Indonesia, Israel,
      Qatar, Antigua & Barbuda, Chad, Bermuda, Malawi and many more.
      And as Jyoti points out, the number is growing with Panama and
      other countries in the process  of drafting their comprehensive
      data protection laws.</p>
    <p>I also agree with Ayden that Model 2B best covers both the
      current trend in data protection laws, and the current
      comprehensive data protection laws adopted by a majority of
      countries around the world.  +1 that for ICANN to have "fragmented
      approaches for different regions would be a mistake."   <br>

        Research by Graham Greeleaf analyzing data privacy laws in over
        120 countries shows that current global standard of data privacy
        laws even outside Europe is closer to the EU Directive than the

                  <p>Colleagues,</p>
                  <p>I may have an overly simplistic view of the issue
                    here, but I would like to put it on the table. ICANN
                    has a narrow remit within the growing area of
                    global, regional (e.g. EU), and national Internet
                    governance. It exercises that remit through a
                    serious of contracts with entities (registrars and
                    registries) that operate under diverse national
                    Internet governance jurisdictions. <br>
                  </p>
                  <p>With differing specific data protection language in
                    diverse contexts, it is highly unlikely that ICANN
                    can draft “higher standard” contract language that
                    will satisfy the data privacy regulations of all,
                    most, or even many, national data privacy regimes.
                    So, what is the path forward here?</p>
                  <p>There seem to be two components of a path forward.
                    First, ICANN must figure out how it exercises ICANN
                    agency as a stakeholder in the various legislative
                    policy venues in which data privacy and other
                    Internet governance policy is debated and where
                    regulations are formed. Some ICANN stakeholders
                    already “have skin in those games” and are already
                    present in those policy debates. ICANN writes
                    contract language and needs to be engaged as a
                    stakeholder. <br>
                  </p>
                  <p>Second, in contrast to seeking “higher standard”
                    contract language, ICANN may need to look for
                    “minimum conditions” contract language that offers
                    contracted parties maximum freedom to negotiate with
                    and meet the conditions of national Internet
                    governance policies. At the same time ICANN can use
                    its agency as a stakeholder to press for “higher
                    standard” national policies that harmonize
                    regulations, and facilitate the work and interests
                    of various stakeholders in the Internet ecosystem. <br>
                  </p>
                  <p>In short, the path forward may be (a) more ICANN
                    agency as a stakeholder, and (b) minimal contract
                    language to maximize the ability of contracted
                    parties to deal with national policies and
                    regulations. <br>

                        <div>While I appreciate that not all countries
                          have data protection laws, privacy remains a
                          fundamental human right. My suggestion is thus
                          that we should adopt the highest level of
                          protection for all domain name registrants.
                          And I suspect it is a lot easier to implement
                          one model, rather than fragmented models for
                          different jurisdictions.<br>
                        </div>
                        <div><br>
                        </div>
                        <div>Please also remember that ICANN sets policy

                          rules and policies created by ICANN, and these
                          policies can be revised and deleted. So while
                          ICANN must of course comply with the law, it
                          can adopt and impose a higher standard on the
