[gnso-rds-pdp-wg] Using the GDPR as a basis for RDS Policy is backwards

[John Horton]

Yes, I respectfully disagree with Sara's statement, Chuck. (With a small
qualification.) I don't think you have consensus around that point, in my
view. The qualification I'd make is: where there are specific regulatory
reasons to either require or permit a change to existing Whois/RDS policy,
provided that it's done in the most conservative way possible, I think
that's reasonable to discuss. (The obvious example here is the GDPR.)
Beyond that, I believe that one of the best alternatives that's
(implicitly) presented so far is no change, as many (all?) of the proposed
changes I've heard so far would be worse than the status quo.

So do I believe it "must" change? No, aside from a very limited tweak due
to some specific regulatory issues. Do I believe it could be improved, and
that improvements are worth discussing? Yes.  But the answer to your
question is: Yes, there is someone on this working group who respectfully
disagrees with Sara's statement.
