Subject: Draft letter to the Article 29 Working Party


You will find attached a draft letter to the EU Article 29 Working Party, which we propose to send on Friday March 2nd.  Please let me or the policy committee know if you have comments.

As you are probably aware, ICANN is in the process of determining an interim measure to comply better with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which comes into effect on May 25, and carries the potential for fines of 4% of revenues.  ICANN Chief Executive Officer Goran Marby has encouraged ICANN stakeholders to contact the Article 29 Working Party seeking guidance and engagement.   The Article 29 Working Party is the group of data commissioners tasked by Article 29 of the current Data Protection 95/46 to determine adequacy of the data protection law in third countries that receive the data of EU citizens.  The Article 29 WP becomes the Data Protection Board under the new regulation after May 25, and will have authority to coordinate enforcement action.

Given that some other stakeholders have written to them, we decided we had better make our views known.  For the latest updates on ICANN compliance on the GDPR, please check the data protection page at https://www.icann.org/dataprotectionprivacy.  There is quite a bit happening, but the final model for the interim measures is still a moving target.
