 EU data privacy laws are likely to create barriers to trade GDPR creates 
serious, unclear legal obligations for both private and public entities
 WILBUR ROSS [FT.COM]
 
 We in the US are deeply concerned about the way the EUâ??s new privacy 
guidelines, which came into effect last week, will force big changes in the way 
US and European companies do business.
 
 Donald Trumpâ??s administration supports the new General Data Protection 
Regulationâ??s goal of protecting personal online data while continuing to 
enable transatlantic data exchange. We are also committed to working with the 
EU to implement the new guidelines.
 
 We believe that data-sharing rules must respect privacy and protect our shared 
interests of maintaining public safety and the easy functioning of the 
internet, while also taking into account the regulatory, scientific, and 
commercial needs of all our countries. As currently envisioned, GDPRâ??s 
implementation could significantly interrupt transatlantic co-operation and 
create unnecessary barriers to trade, not only for the US, but for everyone 
outside the EU.
 
 The US thrives because it has an open, entrepreneurial society that encourages 
innovation and embraces technological advances. We believe consumers benefit 
because they enjoy the digital products and services that are invented and 
brought to market by US companies.
 
 Complying with GDPR will exact a significant cost, particularly for small and 
medium-sized enterprises and consumers who rely on digital services and may 
lose access and choice as a result of the guidelines. US companies have already 
invested billions of dollars to comply with the new rules. But even as 
companies update their privacy policies to bring themselves in line, many 
uncertainties remain.
 
 GDPR creates serious, unclear legal obligations for both private and public 
sector entities, including the US government. We do not have a clear 
understanding of what is required to comply. That could disrupt transatlantic 
co-operation on financial regulation, medical research, emergency management 
co-ordination, and important commerce. It could threaten public welfare on both 
sides of the Atlantic. US and European financial services regulators may be 
impeded from carrying out important activities: for example, it is unclear 
whether EU supervisors can share information with the US for compliance exams 
and other oversight.
 
 Pharmaceutical companies may not be able to submit medical data from drug 
trials involving European patients to US authorities, which could delay the 
approval of new life-saving drugs. The Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention could be restricted in sharing information with European 
counterparts while responding to the outbreak of diseases such as Ebola. And 
the US Postal Service believes the new rules will prevent EU postal operators 
from providing the personal data on individuals it needs to process inbound 
mail.
 
 GDPR also raises concern for law enforcement and intellectual property rights 
by restricting access to publicly available internet domain-name registration 
data. We anticipate companies will either stop providing â??Whoisâ?? look-up 
services outright, or make it hard to access the information. That could stop 
law enforcement from ascertaining who is behind websites that propagate 
terrorist information, sponsor malicious botnets or steal IP addresses.
 
 These important activities need to be weighed carefully against privacy 
concerns. They are critical to building trust in the internet, safeguarding 
infrastructure, and protecting the public. Our respect for privacy does not 
have to come at the expense of public safety.
 
 We must find a way to implement GDPR without creating undue barriers. Privacy 
is an important and timely issue, but it also is a complex one. The guidance on 
GDPR implementation is too vague. EU authorities must provide clearer rules and 
a more predictable regulatory environment to support investment and innovation. 
We ask them to act quickly so that GDPR can be properly implemented.

I read the pleading eventually and in fairness to Jones Day, they threw 
everything they got into their filing, the baby and bathwater included. So 
naturally the overreach on trademark and content regulation that Milton and 
them getting excited about made its way there.
  
Comparing the arguments presented to the directives of the GDPR, self defeat 
seems evident. So maybe it is a fiendishly clever legal strategy at play and 
this is a test case to get a few markers down for the big one. But from the 
pleadings of facts and intended outcome, this one, IMHO, is as weak as a strain 
of denatured bacteria.

 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.     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.    Some 
excellent reading material on this issue can be found here:

I have a feeling Schrems will likely triumph before ICANN.

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).    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.    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.    Alan    _______________________________________________
