You are right, Karl, and then what happens when other authorities
start with their extra-territorial demands? Is the space going to
turn into a regulation minefield? Is it going to cause a break-up of
the Internet space? Or will it be so complex, only the largest
players like the GAFAs have the resources to navigate the
legislation thus killing off any smaller players and aiding
consolidation, which we all agree is a bad thing for competition?<br>

it is easy to focus on the GDPR one must not forget that as a
California public-benefit/non-profit corporation, ICANN is subject
to California's new privacy protection law, the CCPA, which is
considered by some to be GDPR on steroids. While the CCPA's
extent may not extend beyond California residents, the state does
tend to have a large footprint.

I recommended this Webinar as it feels somehow as a milestone in
ICANN's history.

The GDPR - General Data Protection Regulation, that was rolled
out and enforced by the European Commission, had a big impact on
ICANN's registration directory services. Whilst a replacement to
WHOIS, the database of domain name registrants, has been in
research for many years, the GDPR has changed the game and ICANN
had to create an "expedited policy development process - EPDP"
in the GNSO to create new rules relating to the access to
registration data. That work is still in progress
