John
It’s an EU directive, so while it was implemented in all member states there are differences. That’s why emails from Volker contain more information in the footer than ones you get from me ☺

Regards

Michele

Uh...that's not a universal requirement. I know a lot of EU (some? a lot? not sure) of EU countries have that for commercial websites, and Japan does too (something we actually monitor for) but it's not like that's a requirement in the majority of countries. It's a minority approach, actually.

If LEAs and governments want publicly accessible whois databases, they should legislate it, just like they have legislated imprints on websites, land registries, company registers, car registration registries and many more.

But they have not and seem to be disinclined to do so. That in and of itself should tell you something.

Why do they legislate what has to be on a website but not what has to be in whois? Take a guess!

And herein lies the exact problem: too many people on this group are thinking about what's right for registrars and registries, not internet users as a whole. (Which, obviously, is more than just registrants.)

ICANN policy isn't supposed to serve the interests of registrars. It's supposed to serve the broader public interest.

Benny, sorry -- I don't understand your email. :)

Such a distinction sounds complex for a registrar to make, and even more burdensome for a registrar to implement. Who could afford to do this? I would also worry that such costs would be passed on to domain name registrants.

I think quite a bit in this WG and certainly in the prior privacy/proxy PDP, and absolutely what we're seeing with GoDaddy. To make sure I'm being clear about what I mean, GoDaddy isn't only redacting Whois information (via Port 43) where it's an EU natural citizen or natural resident. The information is being redacted for....everyone. All registrants. There's simply no justification for that.

I predict you'd see (I'm not speaking for anyone here, just me) a real willingness on the security and compliance community's part to compromise and support a system where, IF a registrant is an EU natural person (yes, I know we need to define it accurately -- citizen, resident, we can get granular later) then...hey, let's set up a system in involving redaction of some fields, access to those fields in legitimate cases, etc. I want to support registrars' compliance with the GDPR. But we're seeing the registrar community say: We want to apply this globally. To all domain name registrations. Doesn't matter if the registrant is the intended beneficiary of the new law, or in scope, or not. We're going to just change global policy.

I think that viewpoint has been pretty repeatedly represented in this working group, but I'd love to hear from registrars that would support a more targeted solution where only the intended beneficiaries of the GDPR (that is, in-scope registrants) are covered under the policy.
