Dear councillors, Please find below the proposed triage recommendation 20 - 2017. Kindly provide me with your input by the end of 24 April 2017, 23:59 UTC, in case you do not agree with the proposed recommendations. Thank you. Topic: 20 - 2017: General Data Protection Regulation Implementation Survey Originator: RySG. The geoTLD.group is an international non-for-profit membership association. The group represents the interests of geographic top-level domains identifying a city, region, language or culture. The members are governments, companies and associations. The geoTLD.group is an association member of the Registry Stakeholder Group. Summary of request: The General Data Protection Regulation [GDPR] is a European Union body of laws regulating the way personal data may be gathered, used, stored and transferred. Its impact is European and worldwide as it endeavours to regulate data pertaining to European citizens and residents wherever their data might be gathered, used or stored. While GDPR has been in force since 25 May 2016, it will apply in full starting 25 May 2018. The aim of this survey is to gather information about solutions currently being deployed or developed by registry operators to address GDPR with a view to identifying the number of different solutions being deployed, determine those that have been met by local Data Protection Agency [DPA] approval and where the thought leaders might be. The Survey does not aim to assess the merits of the solutions, but rather to understand the range of solutions that are currently being implemented to address the GDPR so that we might be able to provide relevant and practical input to any policy discussions.
