<div>While the GDPR has been discussed at a high level of panel
sessions and the fact that it got a well deserved attention
within the community at the last meeting. I would not know if a
webminar specifically on this has been conducted. The
implication of the compliance and regulatory fine and impact on
registries needs sensitization also within the process of ICANN
community at the capacity building level.</div>

<div>Also, i understand that the RDS will replace WHOIS as a
result of the enforcement of the GDPR in 2018 this topic and
sensitization needs to be considered and discussed extensively
even for registries.</div>

I support both of these topics as I sense lack of operating
knowledge about these in the community. In the RDS, it might also be
worth explaining the different between the WHOIS and the RDAP
protocol, because that's in essence what RDS is.<br>
Kindest regards,<br>
