[gnso-rds-pdp-wg] ICANN Legal Opinion on GDPR - Part 1

Tue Oct 24 13:24:56 UTC 2017


I don't think that is the reaction John was thinking of Volker.

One reaction (proposal that has actually been made this morning) to the
going dark steps taken by Mijndomein is to add FRLregistry and dotAmsterdam
to block lists or RPZ. I don't know whether this proposal will gain
traction or not. Other potential reactions might include blocking domains
registered through particular registrars. There is certainly a potential
for balkanization of the Internet from these sorts of actions.

Personally I'm taking a wait and see approach before deciding what to
propose internally within my organization for traffic originating from TLDs
or registrars who have gone dark.
