font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">This discussion opens a door for me to make a suggestion, which I hope someone at ICANN can address. 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 class=""></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);" class="">Best regards,<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);" class="">Scott<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><b class=""><i class=""><span style="color: red;" class="">Please click below to use my booking calendar to schedule:<o:p class=""></o:p></span></i></b></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><b class=""><i class=""><span style="color: red;" class=""> <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="x-msg://48/calendly.com/saustin-2/15min" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;" class=""><span style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;" class="">a 15-minute call</span></a> <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></i></b><span style="color: red;" class=""> <a href="x-msg://48/calendly.com/saustin-2/30min" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;" class="">a 30-minute call</a> <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="x-msg://48/calendly.com/saustin-2/60min" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;" class="">a 60-minute call</a><o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);" class=""> <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><b class=""><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);" class=""><span id="cid:image007.png@01D3E23F.C38C3880"><image007.png></span><span id="cid:image008.jpg@01D3E23F.C38C3880"><image008.jpg></span> <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></b><a href="http://www.avvo.com/attorneys/33308-fl-scott-austin-1261914.html" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;" class=""><b class=""><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); text-decoration: none;" class=""><span id="cid:image009.jpg@01D3E23F.C38C3880"><image009.jpg></span></span></b></a> <o:p class=""></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);" class="">Scott R.

It is clear that there ARE in fact circumstances where ICANN Board and staff must act in a top-down manner in the Global Public Interest. WHOIS was removed as a public interest obligation in the IANA transition. It was said that it would not matter. Many knew that it would matter – if only because ICANN would have been forced to deal with the conflict between that obligation and the GDPR at a much earlier stage – we would have had an anonymized e-mail address system by now. <o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);" class="">The victim is the Global Public Interest. The root cause is the Bottom-up policymaking process and the desire on the part of some stakeholders to “look the other way” on the issue of proportionality. Goram is a smart guy. Everyone on the Board is smart. Everyone on the Board also has a fiduciary duty to avoid risk to the corporation. I am certain that these individuals were advised that avoiding that risk involved avoiding being classified as a “joint data controller”. Hence, the delay while the perfect storm was developing between ICANN controlling risk and various stakeholders preferring the present outcome.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);" class="">It really bugs me when Internet policy just ends up creating more work for IP lawyers. ;-(. <o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);" class="">All that said, I do favor the Expedited PDP.
