[gnso-rds-pdp-wg] FW: WSGR Final Memorandum

[John Bambenek]

I want to point out something on page 17, namely this quote:

"We think the best way to avoid conflicts would be to try to bring the
data processing practices of ICANN and the registrars in line with EU
data protection law as much as possible, and to give primacy to EU data
protection requirements when they clash with those of other jurisdictions."

This is a patently offensive claim of European imperialism. One ventures
down this road with great consequences.
