A lot of registrars (and registries) are members of Eco or The Internet Infrastructure Coalition and Thomas Rickert via Eco has been doing a lot of work with contracted parties in this GDPR mess.

To date we have not been formally engaged with DPAs via Eco / i2C

ICANN, as you can see from their updates, has been conducting bilateral discussions with various bodies.

Some registrars have been discussing matters with their DPAs and / or relevant government departments.

Disclosure: I am the Chair of The Internet Infrastructure Coalition and involved in a lot of the other things too (see: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mneylon/ )

Regards

Michele

All,

This posting may just expose a blind side in my knowledge, but I would like to ask:

• Is there is an organization of Registrar's, outside ICANN, that collectively carries on discussions with the EU and other national government Data Protection Agencies?
• Is there a particular forum, public or private, in which that dialogue takes place, or is within efforts that are mainly one-on-one?
