ICANN orgs responds to digital Services Act initiative Public Consultation launched by European Commission. ICANN's responses to questions 11,12,13 and 14 in relation to the use of WHOIS information, its purpose and usefulness highlights the importance of the registration data.
This is a welcome, good and balanced response by ICANN to the WHOIS damage caused by GDPR. I've been working on a project to measure registrars and reseller activity in gTLDs and ccTLDs and the relevant statistics on the registrar/reseller markets. Legal persons being excluded from WHOIS data on the same basis as natural persons was a big mistake. It has also introduced a level of instability to the DNS that can be difficult to remedy. It was good to see ICANN explain it in simple terms for these people.
