This is coming very late, but following Johannesburg I was swamped with non-ICANN issues and am trying to dig my way out.
As was discussed at the meeting, ICANN has (finally) woken up and is addressing the GDPR. As I understand it, as part of this, ICANN needs to get expert legal opinion and present a case to European data commissioners.
The first step is to identify how various parties use WHOIS data elements today. This is not an exercise in determining whether the particular elements are in fact "personal information" nor to determine if the usage is legitimate (under any particular rules). It is just to identify uses.
I am looking at this from three different perspectives:
1. User
2. Individual registrant
3. What I call user "tech support" - those of us who, for free or charge, help non-technical users and registrants solve their problems
Attached you will find.
A. Meeting notes from the introductory meeting held in Johannesburg
B. A list of WHOIS elements
C. Matrix Instructions
D. Usage Matrix ("User Stories") to be filled in.
I will send you what I have completed shortly.
I must submit it by the end of Saturday, so time is short.
