1. EPDP on gTLD Registration Data

In line with its previous advice, the GAC observed the need to maintain WHOIS access to the fullest extent possible and noted that in its San Juan Communiqué it advised the ICANN Board to instruct ICANN org to "Distinguish between legal and natural persons, allowing for public access to WHOIS data of legal entities, which are not in the remit of the GDPR”. The GAC reiterates that this advice still stands and should be considered.
