[council] GNSO Council response to GAC communique

[Susan Kawaguchi]

Hi Heather,

After discussions in the BC we would like to add the following language to
the response to the GAC advice.

"The GNSO Council agrees with the GAC that the continued and lawful
availability of WHOIS/RDS data for consumer protection, intellectual
property rights protection and law enforcement activities is a vital public
concern and that ICANN should strive to explore all possible mechanisms
under the GDPR to ensure that this data remains available for legitimate
activities that protect the public and promote a safe, secure, and
trustworthy online environment.  Especially, when the WHOIS/RDS data is
associated with a domain name used for commercial activity."

Best regards,

Susan
