This is maybe beyond but fact. As i said, we will have to deal with the issues as a whole but we need to prioritise and know how and get a full consensus between everyone. I am pretty sure withe the technology we have these days we could be intelligent enough to find something but i also agree that GAC/governments responsibilities as well as RIRs and registry/registrars are also beyond doubt key players. Perhaps as much as GAC puts pressure the other way it may be interesting sometimes to turn the tables around. But it is a big challenge.

RDS data is stored in registrar and registry servers, many of which if not most or all are increasingly being housed in global cloud server farms. This raises both within RDS, and within the larger ecosystem of cloud server farms, the issue of how owned/personal data and data storage policies beyond national jurisdictions conform to various national data retention and privacy policies.

It has some stakeholders talking about the need for something like the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), a set of global policies for the treatment of cloud data.

This is one of those technology driven governance issues that fall outside ICANN’s remit, but impact its policy domain, and impact the business practices of registries and registrars. While it falls outside ICANN's remit, ICANN could still be a lead stakeholder in such discussions.
