Now that there is a dedicated NCSG mailing list established for
conversations around the European Union's General Data Protection
Regulation (GDPR), I am going to suggest that we move this conversation
over there to continue this discussion. We will still, from time to time,
send messages regarding GDPR and ICANN's compliance with it to this mailing
list, but in the immediate future we will have more focused conversations
on the smaller, specialised list. It is still possible to join this new
mailing list; if you are interested, please contact Maryam Bakoshi off-list
(maryam.bakoshi at icann.org) and she can subscribe you. Thanks!

Best wishes, Ayden Férdeline

Greetings, all-

Along with Stephanie Perrin and Wendy Seltzer, I am a part of the ICANN
GDPR Compliance Consultation Group. This group has been formed to help
ICANN gather the information it needs to engage with data protection
authorities and to obtain actionable legal advice.

I committed last week to keeping the NCSG updated on the activities of the
Consultation Group over the coming months.

In our first meeting, we committed to participating in a data gathering
exercise to identify the existing users of WHOIS, what data elements they
use, and for what purpose. At this time we are not making the determination
as to whether a purpose is legitimate or illegitimate, though that call
will come, or if a data element comprises personally identifiable
information. For now we are simply trying to include all user categories to
get the most complete set of data points.

We are interested in understanding how non-commercial Internet users, who
we in the NCSG purport to represent the interests of, use WHOIS. We have
conducted some informal consultation among our peers and have been provided
with a few use cases, but not too many. It is possible that end users do
not use WHOIS widely [and that has been the assumption that has informed
previous exercises like this one], but if you, as an end user, do use
WHOIS, we would be curious to know for what purpose and which data elements
you rely on. Please share your thoughts either on-list or with me
privately, if you prefer.

We have a very short turnaround time for this exercise. Our next call is
this Thursday, and ICANN staff envision this entire task being completed by
next week. The time for you to provide input is thus now. Thanks!

Best wishes,

Ayden Férdeline
