Dear all,
ICANN was informed on 18 July 2018 that the Regional Court in Bonn, Germany, has decided to refer to the Higher Regional Court in Cologne, Germany, the injunction
proceedings ICANN initiated against EPAG, a Germany-based, ICANN-accredited registrar that is part of the Tucows Group. ICANN filed
the injunction proceedings seeking assistance in interpreting the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in order to protect the data collected in WHOIS.
The most recent GDPR-related announcement entitled “ICANN Request to Preserve WHOIS Data Referred to German Appeal Court” is published
here. The associated legal documentation is published here.
Best regards,
Joke Braeken
