<p class="MsoNormal">As you will recall, the ALAC recently approved the comment on the draft Registration Data Policy. At last week's CPWG meeting, it was suggested that we might be able to strengthen the section on Thick Whois based on recent information about
the European Union NIS 2 Directive recently approved by the European Parliament.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Alan has drafted such an addition and it was presented at this week's CPWG meeting. Those present agreed that it was a good addition. SInce the comment period has been extended until next Monday, there is still time to resubmit our comment.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">The addition does not change the intent of the original comment. It adds the paragraph: "Moreover, the recently approved EU NIS2 requires that registries and registrars publish publicly available data, and make available redacted data to
legitimate users; AND that registrars and registries cooperate so that data does not need to be collected twice. That implies that if registrars are the prime collector of the data (as they are with gTLDs) that registrars must cooperate and provide registries
with the data. NIS 2 notes that this obligation is sufficient legal reason for processing the registration data under GDPR Article 6.1(c). [NIS 2: Recitals 109-112 and Article 28]"<u></u><u></u></p>
