You make it sound like that is somehow difficult. It quite literally is a check box on a website. Twitter and Facebook have figured this out and they process substantially more information of a much more sensitive nature. 

Saying this is overcomplicating the issue is an understatement. But I am not a registrar so enlighten me. 

Exactly what would be involved at a high level of making whois privacy for free for key systems customers?

This is an issue that contracted parties will have to work out with ICANN. To the contrary, I find it very, very disturbing that certain interest groups believe they have a role to play here.

GDPR will have a profound impact on RDS, as current practices simply do not work anymore. While some tout consent as the solve-all, be reminded that consent must be free, informed, and can be revoked at any time, without consequence to the service being provided.

>> Hi Fab,

>> Thanks for your insights into this.  You raise a really interesting and important point.  I tend to agree with you that the lack of community engagement in the GDPR-preparedness discussions is very very disturbing.  I’m not sure I agree that it should be conflated with the RDS PDP.  I see the GDPR discussions as related to Whois “as is” if you will.  I see the RDS group as dealing with the future of Whois, that is creating an “ideal” (or as ideal as possible considering we govern  by committee) system.   If anything, I think RDS should suspend its work until we understand more fully the implications of the GDPR on Whois…. but I don’t think the RDS discussions have a place in the GDPR discussions.

>> Appreciate this feedback, Andrew.  Simply put, my concern is that these independent and misinformed conversations will result in bad decision making that will run counter to our efforts here in this duly-constituted PDP WG that is following the standard ICANN processes for developing policy -- if not render them useless altogether.  Which in turn highlights my earlier comment that this side-show effort from ICANN runs counter to the bottom up / standard ICANN processes for developing policy.
