Data Protection/Privacy Update: Revised Proposed Temporary Specification
Published; Webinar Scheduled I want to share some important updates related
to our plans for compliance with the European Union's General Data
Protection Regulation (GDPR) following very productive discussions that
occurred at the Vancouver Board Workshop. Based on extensive Board input
and robust discussions, we published revisions to improve the clarity of
the proposed Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data. You can
view the revised document here [PDF, 153 KB]. *In addition, we scheduled a
community webinar that will be held from 09:15 to10:30 Pacific Daylight
Time (16:15-17:30 UTC) on 15 May 2018 to discuss this topic.*

As a reminder, the intent of this specification is to establish temporary
requirements to enable ICANN org and its gTLD registries and registrars to
continue to comply with ICANN contractual requirements and
community-developed policies, as well as the European Union's General Data
Protection Regulation (GDPR), while maintaining the existing WHOIS system
to the greatest extent possible.

I also want to point out that the Board passed a resolution noting their
intent to take a decision on the adoption of the Temporary Specification on
or about 17 May 2018. As noted in the resolution, the Board intends to use
this additional time to confirm that appropriate modifications are
incorporated into the Temporary Specification prior to adoption. Cherine
Chalaby will be publishing a blog soon with more information on the Board's
activities during their Vancouver Workshop.

In parallel, we still hope to receive a response to our letter [PDF, 400
KB] to the Article 29 Working Party that provides us with more clarity and
guidance to inform the specification.

I know that this is a busy time for all of us, and I am well-aware of the
pressures we are facing given the fast-approaching 25 May deadline for
enforcement of the GDPR. That said, I want to take a moment to acknowledge
your hard work and contributions on this issue, so thank you. Together we
have achieved a lot and it has been truly remarkable to watch the
multistakeholder community – a mix of individuals, non-commercial
stakeholder groups, industry, governments and technical experts committed
to a community-based, consensus-driven, policy-making approach – in action.

We still have more to do, but we're closing in on the finish line. Stay the
course and, once again, thank you for your efforts.

As always, I encourage you to visit our Data Protection/Privacy page for
the latest updates.
