last <a href="https://www.icann.org/news/blog/data-protection-and-privacy-update-seeking-community-feedback-on-proposed-compliance-models" style="box-sizing:border-box;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">blog</a> of 12 January
focused on three proposed interim models for
collecting registration data and implementing
registration directory services in preparation for the
25 May 2018 enforcement date for the <a href="https://ec.europa.eu/info/strategy/justice-and-fundamental-rights/data-protection_en" style="box-sizing:border-box;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">European Union's
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)</a>. I
requested input on the models which, along with input
from community discussions on this topic, will
contribute to the assessment of each potential option.
From those inputs, either variations or modifications
to one of these models, each of which includes a
tiered/layered access approach to <abbr title="WHOIS
(pronounced "who is"; not an acronym)" style="box-sizing:border-box;unicode-bidi:bidi-override;direction:ltr;border-bottom-width:1px;border-bottom-style:dotted;border-bottom-color:rgb(153,153,153)">WHOIS</abbr> data, will

are pleased to report that we have received written
inputs from many parties, which we began reviewing

<span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">The
request for feedback also triggered vibrant and
engaging dialogues within the community, as well as
requests from several stakeholder groups for
discussions with the <abbr title="Internet Corporation

February from 1530 to 1630 UTC. The feedback we
receive from this webinar will – just as from other
community discussions and input – factor into the
assessment of what may be a viable interim model
moving forward. We plan to provide this assessment by
mid-February.</span></p>

<span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0)">We
understand and agree with the community on the need
for urgency – much work has been done but there is
much work to do before reaching the enforcement
deadline for the GDPR. That said, I believe taking an
additional few days to update the community as a
whole, listen to your feedback, and continue our due
diligence is the right course of action.</span></p>
