[CPWG] [registration-issues-wg] [GTLD-WG] Next possible move related to GDPR

[Tijani BEN JEMAA]

My dear friends,

Speaking about percentage (98% - 2%) and (0;000000) is to say that At-Large must take a position for a part (called majority) against the other part (called minority). My take is absolutely different.
Our duty is to defend the public interest, means security of the end users and the best conditions for their utilisation of Internet.
Our position should be to ensure:
the protection of end-users from harmful use of DNS
the protection of their data from harmful usage. 

This can be reached through:
the collection of the necessary data (not more than the necessary) for the registration and for any necessary protection of the DNS from the criminals
Access to the non public data when necessary by third party with legitimate purpose.

I find there is an exaggeration of the risk that is frightening some of our members pushing towards a non balanced position.
For the record, the CEO of AFNIC (dot fr registry) announced in the Africa Internet Summit 2018 that AFRIC is not publishing the registrant data since a while, and that they give access only on request, and yet, we didn’t hear of any problem with the dot fr domains so far.

So, again, we don’t have to be extremist for any side. We should have a balanced position (thank you Greg) supporting the data collection and access as necessary to prevent criminals from harming the end users.

Does that mean that Hadia and I should push strongly for law enforcement and cybersecurity professionals to have good access most of the time, but for 2% of the time we strongly support those who want to minimize their access because they do not believe that there is sufficient justification to infringe on registrant privacy (ie the "privacy fetishists  ;-) )?
