[Info] GDPR/Whois update

[Ayden Férdeline]

This shines a spotlight on a real flaw in the EPDP’s Charter (being the inclusion of ‘access').

ICANN org is clearly engaged in a parallel process seeking “clarity” from the various Data Protection Authorities on how to proceed here. And I think it’s plausible that the ICANN Board will issue a second Temporary Specification once they have enough “clarity” from the Data Protection Authorities, because why wouldn’t they?

Is ICANN org really shopping this unified access model around, and then going to allow the community to develop something radically different as a part of the EPDP? It makes sense to go with the model that the GDPR’s enforcement bodies - the DPAs - are comfortable with.

But we knew this would happen. This was why the NCSG was opposed to the development of an access model being included in the EPDP’s scope. We thought it would be a more effective use of the EPDP team’s time and resources to not address this question until such time as ICANN org had received and shared with the community the advice it has received from the Data Protection Authorities, as their recommendations, as the enforcement bodies, are what will almost certainly be followed by ICANN anyway.

Given this, it’s time we engage with the unified access model. There were good reasons not to in the past, but it isn’t going away.
