The panel comprised former NextGen@ICANN participants, ICANN Fellows, and At-Large Summit III participants who currently work with ICANN community groups. During this ICANN 70 session, the panelists discussed the following questionsː

  • Should ICANN’s mandate be adapted in terms of future developments in cyberspace?
  • How might the DNS be changed to tackle future cybersecurity concerns?
  • How can transparency and openness of PDPs within ICANN be ensured and all interested stakeholders be picked up inclusively?[3]

Summer School on Internet Governance[edit | edit source]

Education[edit | edit source]

Hudobnik has completed the College of Electronics Specializing in Technical Computer Science - Informatics and Internet Engineering. His project team developed a mobile fitness and body monitoring device named Ironm@Z funded by the provincial government.

He holds a Magister Juris from the University of Graz with a diploma thesis topic related to Domain Privacy.

Since the beginning of his law studies, Hudobnik has focused on the areas of Cyber Law, Cyber Security, Internet Governance, Privacy, Legal Tech, and Intellectual Property. He participated in an Erasmus exchange at the Tilburg Law School, specializing in International Law and taking part in the Tilburg Model United Nations.

Diploma Thesis[edit | edit source]

The title of the diploma thesis is The Future of WHOIS - An analysis of the Policy Development Process under the GDPR with a focus on the litigation ICANN v. EPAG[44]. Hudobnik analyzes, how access to crucial information and protected data in the WHOIS can be ensured specifically, whether the collection and storage of personal data of the Admin-C and Tech-C are lawful, as well as whether the processing purposes are sufficiently specified under the GDPR. The modification of the WHOIS databases has significant practical implications since the GDPR came into force, as well as the Expedited Policy Development Process on the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data (EPDP), which has potentially been influenced by the litigation ICANN v. EPAG. The diploma thesis concludes that there is a definite need for further modifications of other relevant policy agreements within the domain name registration process. The year 2019 will show whether Phase 2 of the EPDP on the Temp Spec finalizes in time, and delivers a holistic solution for compliance with the GDPR that is respected by the wide range of stakeholder groups involved.[45]

In June 2019, Hudobnik presented the paper WHOIS and the GDPR - A (never) ending story in cyberspace?,[46] at the 34th International Conference on ICT Systems Security and Privacy Protection (IFIP SEC 2019) at the Lisbon School of Economics & Management.[47]
