[EURO-Discuss] Fwd: [ALAC-Announce] ICANN News Alert -- ICANN Files Legal Action in Germany to Preserve WHOIS Data

[Michele Neylon - Blacknight]

Maybe, but the way it's being framed in public is a little odd.
It's not simply being framed as contract enforcement and seeking clarity, but more about "saving whois" - whereas in reality the "whois" under dispute isn't data of any real value.

    My two cents.
    
    That's very good news: ICANN does respect the new law. The older German law
    containg very similar regulations was always ignored by ICANN.
    
    So going to the court (especially in Germany) signals the registrars, that
    ICANN is willing to accept an external decision rather than leaving the
    registrar alone between ICANN accreditation rules an local law.
