This was requested by the chair of the EPDP WG, Kurt Pritz. We are ALSO working on a draft reaction to ICANN’s latest unified access model. From: Steven DelBianco <sdelbianco@netchoice.org> Date: Tuesday, August 28, 2018 at 10:12 PM To: BC Private <bc-private@icann.org> Cc: Mason Cole <mcole@5x5com.com>, Alex Deacon <alex@colevalleyconsulting.com>, Tim Chen <tim@domaintools.com> Subject: FOR REVIEW by 30-Aug: draft BC comment on ICANN's latest proposal for access to non-public Whois As I noted on last BC call and Policy Calendar, ICANN Org published a “Possible Unified Access Model Published for Community Input<https://www.icann.org/news/blog/possible-unified-access-model-published-for-community-input>” last week. ICANN is seeking public input, but not as part of a formal public comment period. There is no formal deadline, but ICANN is looking for reactions ASAP. Thanks to Mason Cole, Tim Chen, Margie Milam, and Alex Deacon for quickly drafting a BC comment (attached). This draft largely reflects positions the BC has taken on ICANN’s reactions to GDPR. I will probe ICANN about the “deadline” for this comment. Meanwhile, please review immediately and provide reactions before 31-Aug. --Steve
