Hello all,<br>
<br>
I recommended this Webinar as it feels somehow as a milestone in
ICANN's history.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
However, in recent times, the European Commission has continued its
work on ICT issues by drafting a "Digital Services Act" and launched
some cybersecurity policy initiatives. Both these processes have the
potential to directly affect some of ICANN's work. <br>
The milestone moment is that it is the first time that a number of
senior policy representatives from a governing body such as the
European Commission, are ready to interact directly not only with
ICANN Org, but also with the ICANN Community. Of course there have
been plenty of interactions in the past with the US Department of
Commerce. There have also been plenty of interactions with
governments in the GAC. But this time is different in that it is a
set of non-US government representatives ready to have a dialogue
with the different ICANN communities.<br>
Personally I have mixed feelings about this: on the one hand, I
think it is a excellent opportunity to bring input to the European
Commission - and to also understand the underlying reasons behind
some of the proposed regulations. I am delighted that this
interaction is taking place! On the other hand, I wonder what would
happen if each government in the world were to start its own
regulations and to engage the ICANN community on each of these
regulations? What I mean by this, is the concern that was expressed
in the latest Engagement Group on Internet Governance Session that
regulation has the potential for Internet fragmentation. Yes, what a
can of worms!<br>
<br>
So that's why this forthcoming session sounds like it's going to be
super interesting on many levels. Don't miss it!<br>
<br>
Kindest regards,<br>
<br>
Olivier<br>
