Every State in the U.S. requires an individual who seeks to form an entity to engage in business in exchange for limiting liability, whether a corporation, partnership or LLC must provide a registered agent, upon whom service of process can be made and who provides their own contact information and accepts the appointment. Similarly, the DMCA requires an OSP/ISP to provide a designated agent with the US Copyright office as a point of contact for notice of infringing content takedowns in order to avoid liability under safe harbors under that Act. To traverse this ICANN v GDPR impasse, instead of liability on ICANN or its contracting registrars and registries, put the onus on registrants, that as a condition to an Internet presence to engage in online commerce or communication, registrants (individuals as well as businesses) must provide a verifiable registered agent (registrant agent?) or designated agent similar to state corporate requirements and the DMCA, which would be designated as such in WHOIS or RDAP as one additional link or email address line in the database, but whose full contact information could be accessed in a registry like the one available through the US Copyright Office (and yes Anne, most of the DMCA agents are IP lawyers!). To encourage compliance the provision could also require that the applicable registry/registrar that controls the domain only ensures that the line is not left blank, but is required to register the domain name. The registrant remains responsible for ensuring the registered agent is valid and agrees contractually that to continue to sustain its registration the registered agent designated must be subject to vetting/random inspection or testing to demonstrate that it can reach the registrant. If this registrant based condition has already been used or dismissed, my apologies, as I have been working on several other matters. <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Best regards,</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Scott</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><b><i><span style='color:red'>Please click below to use my booking calendar to schedule:</span></i></b><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><b><i><span style='color:red'> <span class=apple-converted-space> </span><a href="https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fx-msg%3a%2f%2f3%2fcalendly.com%2fsaustin-2%2f15min&c=E,1,rgn7x6bDv1A36eVOS-_7wL6e2Kix310SESAnBDsRxQbD7CxdPCUxw4VAEogMW_V4VL7ac23oJQspVBPJ5qioYpYoDf9CKiq64ZEBSuRAO6G2r1GR&typo=1"><span style='color:purple;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal'>a 15-minute call</span></a> <span class=apple-converted-space> </span></span></i></b><span style='color:red'> <a href="https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fx-msg%3a%2f%2f3%2fcalendly.com%2fsaustin-2%2f30min&c=E,1,7CIO6JoHChmm25dPxojsqjQW_W1gemQQxBbvwwLy6aX-gb01YoOBfVrWq8EBEZENJ0ROuHTRN5huAbNlttt817HdFf2aTQHerKE-KzTcl37D4AAEZdtWI6FdmAA,&typo=1"><span style='color:purple'>a 30-minute call</span></a> <span class=apple-converted-space> </span><a href="https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fx-msg%3a%2f%2f3%2fcalendly.com%2fsaustin-2%2f60min&c=E,1,rds-uDitcsMIa5FK_Gg1vrwAtVoYsr52DZi4vKdUMZBvU7ihrRdn1qHUGi5yv0vAOmECwmF6U8iea418aDz5psjKqBAlCmr-7iG8KUMd&typo=1"><span style='color:purple'>a 60-minute call</span></a></span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'> <span class=apple-converted-space> </span></span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:#1F497D'><img border=0 width=129 height=51 style='width:1.3437in;height:.5312in' id="_x0000_i1028" src="cid:image006.png@01D3DED9.9467B390"><img border=0 width=40 height=53 style='width:.4166in;height:.552in' id="Picture_x0020_2" src="cid:image007.jpg@01D3DED9.9467B390" alt="IntellectualPropertyLaw 100"> <span class=apple-converted-space> </span></span></b><a href="https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=http%3a%2f%2fwww.avvo.com%2fattorneys%2f33308-fl-scott-austin-1261914.html&c=E,1,6ChAuN4PimhgSSJYDe-Ay7BlfUQS961FObducn3UrQJIRrMqW9G1jFWp4g9dfyaMG_V3rIQZHqAB0h7-hPwqt88lR5CEzpnUd1WcBR--TbqLH1qy34WT5w,,&typo=1"><b><span style='color:#1F497D;text-decoration:none'><img border=0 width=150 height=36 style='width:1.5625in;height:.375in' id="Picture_x0020_3" src="cid:image008.jpg@01D3DED9.9467B390" alt="microbadge[1]"></span></b></a> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Scott R.
