As CCPA is overt about. These issues are basically considered "business" measures applying to businesses doing business in a territory over one or more thresholds. So they will increasingly be managed in "Trade Deals". Which of course puts ICANN back in its box (regulatory wise). I don't see this causing "Internet" fragmentation in the sense you lose logical global end to end connectivity but it may well lead to disparities in service availability in the same way that you have to have a local licence to play a DVD in your region or perform a song in public. So it is very likely that the availability of services from particular business and regulatory entities will increasingly fragment. I note that today being in the UK someone ism no longer eligible to register a .eu domain for instance. That has nothing to do with "privacy" rights and everything to do with politics.

You are right, Karl, and then what happens when other authorities start with their extra-territorial demands? Is the space going to turn into a regulation minefield? Is it going to cause a break-up of the Internet space? Or will it be so complex, only the largest players like the GAFAs have the resources to navigate the legislation thus killing off any smaller players and aiding consolidation, which we all agree is a bad thing for competition? Kindest regards,

While it is easy to focus on the GDPR one must not forget that as a California public-benefit/non-profit corporation, ICANN is subject to California's new privacy protection law, the CCPA, which is considered by some to be GDPR on steroids. While the CCPA's extent may not extend beyond California residents, the state does tend to have a large footprint.

Hello all,
I recommended this Webinar as it feels somehow as a milestone in ICANN's history.
The GDPR - General Data Protection Regulation, that was rolled out and enforced by the European Commission, had a big impact on ICANN's registration directory services. Whilst a replacement to WHOIS, the database of domain name registrants, has been in research for many years, the GDPR has changed the game and ICANN had to create an "expedited policy development process - EPDP" in the GNSO to create new rules relating to the access to registration data. That work is still in progress
