Dear Thick IRT, FYI. The Thick WHOIS Policy page<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/thick-whois-transition-policy-2017-02…> has been updated to reflect the Board Resolution<https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2018-05-13-en#1.e> to defer compliance on the Thick WHOIS enforcement dates The three specific dates are per the following resolution. Resolved (2018.05.13.06), the President and CEO, or his designee(s), is authorized to defer compliance enforcement of the Thick WHOIS Consensus Policy for six months to 30 November 2018, 30 April 2019 and 31 January 2020, respectively, to allow additional time for the registrars and Verisign to reach agreement on amendments needed to applicable registry-registrar agreements to implement the Policy. Please also note that ICANN has published a new Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data, which is available here: [https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/gtld-registration-data-specs-en [icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_resource…>]. This Temporary Specification establishes temporary requirements to allow ICANN and gTLD registry operators and accredited registrars to continue to comply with existing ICANN contractual requirements and community-developed policies in light of the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation [ec.europa.eu]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__ec.europa.eu_info_law_…>[https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection_en [ec.europa.eu]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__ec.europa.eu_info_law_…>] (GDPR). — Kind Regards, Dennis S.
