*Introducing ICANN’s Chief Data Protection Officer (CDPO)*
Data protection and privacy laws and regulations are constantly
evolving. One of the ICANN organization’s top priorities continues to be
data protection and privacy compliance and maintaining the security of
personal data we collect in the course of our operations. As part of the
ICANN organization’s overall data protection and privacy governance
framework, we are creating a new role: the Chief Data Protection Officer
(CDPO).
We have asked Daniel Halloran
<https://www.icann.org/profiles/daniel-halloran> to be ICANN’s Chief
Data Protection Officer. Dan will take on this role, in addition to his
current responsibilities as Deputy General Counsel. Dan has been deeply
involved in our efforts surrounding data privacy and protection, and he
will be an excellent fit for this new role. Dan will continue to report
to me in both roles.
The CDPO will focus on ICANN organization-level data, to ensure ICANN’s
internal data protection and privacy program is compliant and up to
date. While this is a new role within the ICANN organization, it’s by no
means a new type of position. Many similar-sized organizations that
collect and retain personal data also have a CDPO (or similarly named
‘chief privacy officer’).
The CDPO will also advise the ICANN organization on how to best handle
and process personal information we collect, as we continue to fulfill
our core commitments and obligations and provide both internal and
external services in a compliant manner.
This position allows us to be even more responsive to changes in data
privacy regulations, working closely with our internal teams to ensure
our personal data processing activities are in line with our overall
data protection and privacy framework. In this role, Dan will conduct
regular reviews and risk assessments to ensure our organizational
actions remain in compliance with applicable laws, regulations and
internal policies.
The organization-level role is not intended to cover the use of data by
Registrars and Registries under ICANN’s contracts, which is part of the
broader discussion relating to the European General Data Protection
Regulation (GDPR) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) and the impact of these
regulations on ICANN contracts, which is a discussion taking place in
broader ICANN community discussions.
Creating this new position is an important step, and supplements other
ongoing processes we’re undertaking in regards to data privacy. To get
