I am just wondering how much this overhead does cost.
Instead of complying with European law, ICANN has chosen to disregard it,
and now is obliged to grant waivers one by one to European registrars.
Am I the only one who thinks that this is plain silly?
Cheers,
R.

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