Of course he will. ICANN has been acting ill-advised from the start.
Instead of embracing GDPR and its impact and taking the essence of
the regulation at heart and building upon that basis, ICANN ORG (and
parts of the community) has been shirking its responsibilites until
this day and continued to search for loopholes, excemptions and ways
around it. <br>
<br>
The law suit is just the latest example of this painful process,
where ICANN now is specifically expanding its mandate to define a
purpose for the collection of certain data.<br>

For those who might not have noticed, on Friday, ICANN
announced that it has filed injunction proceedings against a
German registrar (associated with TUCOWS) that had informed
ICANN that under the GDPR, it would no longer be collecting
certain data (Admin and Technical contact info).<br>
<br>
Collection is a critical step, in that if data is not
collected, it cannot be released to accredited parties, no
matter how good their justification is.<br>
<br>
As I understand it (and that could be wrong), this is an
interesting step, in that it takes the issue out of the
hands of data commissioners and into the courts, where
presumably ICANN will be given an opportunity to explain why
it believes that such collection is important. Although data
commissioners have been reported to say that they have no
legal basis to grant a delay, this is something that the
courts can do pending resolution.<br>
