<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:7.5pt">There is a conflict between the data processing principles under the Temporary Specification and the requirements under existing gTLD Registry Agreements as well as the Thick Whois Transition Policy. In other words,
 the Thick Whois Transition Policy was modified by the Temporary Specification and further modified by Recommendation #7 in the EPDP Phase 1 Final Report, as the EPDP Team was mandated to do.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:7.5pt">While there is no explicit reference to the Thick Whois Transition Policy, this consensus policy and others that are affected by the GDPR and other relevant data privacy laws fell squarely within the scope of the
 Temporary Specification and hence they are also within the scope of the EPDP. The EPDP Charter states:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:7.5pt">“<b><i>Mission and Scope</i></b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:7.5pt"><i>This EPDP Team is being chartered to determine if the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data should become an ICANN Consensus Policy, as is or with modifications, while complying with the GDPR and
 other relevant privacy and data protection law. As part of this determination, the EPDP Team is, at a minimum, expected to consider the following elements of the Temporary Specification and answer the following charter questions. The EPDP Team shall consider
 what subsidiary recommendations it might make for future work by the GNSO which might be necessary to ensure relevant Consensus Policies, including those related to registration data, are reassessed to become consistent with applicable law.</i>”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:7.5pt">Specifically, Section C of the EPDP Charter contains a set of questions regarding “transfer of data from registrar to registry”:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:7.5pt"><i>c1) What data should registrars be required to transfer to the registry?</i><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:7.5pt"><i>c2) What data is required to fulfill the purpose of a registry registering and resolving a domain name?</i><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:7.5pt"><i>c3) What data is transferred to the registry because it is necessary to deliver the service of fulfilling a domain registration versus other legitimate purposes as outlined in part (a) above?</i><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:7.5pt"><i>c4) Is there a legal reason why registrars should not be required to transfer data to the registries, in accordance with previous consensus policy on this point?</i><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:7.5pt"><i>c5) Should registries have the option to require contact data or not?</i><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:7.5pt"><i>c6) Is there a valid purpose for the registrant contact data to be transferred to the registry, or should it continue to reside at the registrar</i>?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:7.5pt"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:7.5pt">While the Final Report does not contain express language that the policy recommendations are intended to supersede the requirements in the existing ICANN consensus policies, in this case, the Thick Whois Transition
 Policy, such intent is implied (i.e., it goes without saying in light of the history, background, context and purpose of the EPDP).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:7.5pt">The EPDP was conducted in an open and transparent manner with representatives from all GNSO Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies, as well as some ICANN Advisory Committees. As such, Recommendation #7 cannot be
 considered to be a “shadow repeal” of the Thick Whois Transition Policy.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:7.5pt"><i>The</i> recommendations contained in the Thick WHOIS PDP Final Report anticipated that the implementation of those recommendations might be affected by new privacy regulations and the GNSO should address such
 an occurrence. Therefore, while there is no “<i>clear statement in new consensus policy recommendations that the new policy is intended to supersede</i> <i>(in whole or part) requirements in existing consensus policies,</i>” claiming otherwise ignores the
 history, background, context, purpose of the EPDP as well as the Thick Whois PDP Final Report itself.           <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:7.5pt">The intent and meaning of Recommendation #7 is clear. It is the role of the Implementation Review Team (IRT) to ensure that the implementation of Recommendation #7 conforms to the intent of the policy recommendation.
 The IRT is not a forum for opening or revisiting policy discussions (see III.A and III.B, Implementation Review Team (IRT) Principles and Guidelines <a href="https://www.icann.org/resources/files/1201611-2016-08-23-en"><span style="color:#0052CC">https://www.icann.org/resources/files/1201611-2016-08-23-en</span></a>).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:7.5pt">The Policy Development Process Manual makes clear that “Approved GNSO Council policies that have been adopted by the ICANN Board and have been implemented by ICANN Staff may only be amended by the initiation of
 a new PDP on the issue.” It can therefore be concluded that where there is a conflict between an existing consensus policy and subsequent policy recommendation(s) on the same subject matter, the newer policy recommendation prevails. While the EPDP was scoped
 differently and under different circumstances than the Thick Whois PDP, it is undeniable that the two policy development processes overlapped in covering the same issue of transfer of Registration Data from registrar to registry, and therefore, the IRT should
 implement Recommendation #7 as written and intended.<o:p></o:p></p>
