<p dir="ltr">The names world is getting to a stage where if care is not taken, the business interests will get/push ICANN to do things that only appeal to their individual interests which I am afraid could result to the downfall of the organisation. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I no longer understand what we mean by multistakeholder when we always find ourselves (either intentionally/ignorantly) providing/initiating basis for a fight against government.</p>

Instead of complying with European law, ICANN has chosen to disregard it,<br>
and now is obliged to grant waivers one by one to European registrars.<br>
Am I the only one who thinks that this is plain silly?<br>

> Technologies, Inc. USA<br>
><br>
> 9 December 2015<br>
><br>
> ICANN has made a preliminary determination that it is prepared to grant a<br>
> data retention waiver request submitted by Registrar Ascio Technologies,<br>
> Inc. Danmark - filial af Ascio Technologies, Inc. USA ("Ascio") under the<br>
2013<br>
> Registrar Accreditation Agreement (the "2013 RAA"). Section 2 of the Data<br>
> Retention Specification (the "Specification") of the 2013 RAA provides<br>
that<br>
> prior to granting any exemption under the Specification, ICANN will post<br>
its<br>
> determination on the ICANN website for a period of thirty (30) calendar<br>
days.<br>
><br>
> Pursuant to Section 2 of the Specification, Ascio has submitted to ICANN a<br>
> Registrar data retention waiver request ("Waiver Request") on the basis of<br>
> Ascio's contention that compliance with the data collection and/or<br>
retention<br>
> requirements of the Specification violates applicable law in Denmark.<br>
><br>
> The Waiver Request was accompanied by a written legal opinion from a<br>
> nationally recognized law firm citing section 5 (5) of the Danish Act on<br>
> Processing of Personal Data of 31 May 2000 (the "DPPD"). That section<br>
> provides as follows (the following is an unofficial English translation<br>
from<br>
> Danish):<br>
><br>
> Section 5 (5).<br>
><br>
> The data collected may not be kept in a form which makes it possible to<br>
> identify the data subject for a longer period than is necessary for the<br>
> purposes for which the data are processed.<br>
><br>
> Following receipt of the Waiver Request, and in accordance with the 2013<br>
> RAA, ICANN through its legal counsel and Ascio discussed the matter in<br>
good<br>
> faith in an effort to reach a mutually acceptable resolution of the<br>
matter.<br>
><br>
> The outcome of those discussions is that Ascio is seeking a waiver with<br>
> respect to Sections 1.1.1 through 1.1.8 of the Specification that seeks to<br>
> reduce from two years to one year the period for which these specified<br>
data<br>
> elements must be retained after the Registrar's sponsorship of the<br>
> Registration ends.<br>
><br>
> ICANN has determined on a preliminary basis that it is prepared to grant<br>
the<br>
> Waiver Request. ICANN is posting this preliminary determination for a<br>
period<br>
> of thirty (30) calendar days to seek feedback and input from the community<br>
> on the proposed data retention waiver. After the thirty (30) calendar day<br>
> period following this posting has expired, ICANN will consider all<br>
feedback<br>
> and input received before making a final determination on whether to grant<br>
> the Waiver Request.<br>
><br>
> The scope of the proposed waiver would be to permit Ascio to maintain the<br>
> information specified in Sections 1.1.1 through 1.1.8 of the Specification<br>
for<br>
> the duration of its sponsorship of the Registration and for a period of<br>
one (1)<br>
> additional year thereafter rather than two (2) additional years<br>
thereafter. In<br>
> all other respects the terms of the Specification would remain AS-IS.<br>
><br>
> The specific change to the Specification would be that, for the duration<br>
of the<br>
> Waiver, the retention requirement of Section 1.1 of the Data Retention<br>
> Specification be changed from "two additional years" to "one additional<br>
> year."<br>
><br>
> If ICANN does make a final determination to grant the Waiver Request<br>
> sought by Ascio, the provisions of Section 3 of the Specification would<br>
apply<br>
> to similar waivers requested by other registrars located in Denmark and<br>
> subject to Danish law. Section 3 of the Specification provides as follows:<br>
><br>
> If (i) ICANN has previously waived compliance with the requirements of any<br>
> requirement of this Data Retention Specification in response to a Waiver<br>
> Request from a registrar that is located in the same jurisdiction as<br>
Registrar<br>
> and (ii) Registrar is subject to the same applicable law that gave rise to<br>
> ICANN's agreement to grant such waiver, Registrar may request that ICANN<br>
> to grant a similar waiver, which request shall be approved by ICANN,<br>
unless<br>
> ICANN provides Registrar with a reasonable justification for not approving<br>
> such request, in which case Registrar may thereafter make an Wavier<br>
> Request pursuant to Section 2 of this Data Retention Specification.<br>
