[gnso-rds-pdp-wg] Dutch DPA rules public WHOIS data is against the law. EU/NL

Mon Oct 30 18:49:29 UTC 2017

Hi John, 

I think we need to leave politics aside and turn back to RDS.

Unfortunately it is not possible to say to Law Enforcement Agency or Bailiffs when they come to the office of one's company, 
that the person does not believe in the particular law and thus not following it and to expect good followup from them. 
(Example relevant to US - case no. 5:06-cr-00022-WTH-GRJ).

Given the fines proposed by the particular GDRP law, Internet might go dark due to Registries & Registrars being fined to 
the degree of bankruptcy (20M EUR is something very few of the DNS industry companies might survive), and it is worse than gated access to RDS as a future.

I do not think we propose total anonymity (the same Law Enforcement Agencies / GAC will definitely be agains it), 
leaving traces of unique Registrant and domain ROIS will allow to make investigations and might 
probably lead to necessity of the special "privacy disclosure procedure" for criminal cases.

P.s: The bad thing is that GDPR does not recognise special role of the cyber investigation /anti-abuse companies , and to 
say more it does not recognise the role of the non-EU Law Enforcement Agencies in their relevant countries outside EU either.

Sincerely Yours,

Maxim Alzoba

Part of the reason the internet developed the way it has promoting openness and transparency is to be resilient against government abuse. A gated whois with audit trails will inherently allow less friendly governments to profile the activities of those working against them. For instance, I’d rather the Russian government not be aware of what specifically I am looking at while trying to counter their propaganda operations.
