At [[ICANN 44]] in Prague, the [[GAC]] met with law enforcement representatives and their recommendations to enhance [[Whois]] accuracy include requiring registrars to retain data about their customers for up to two years after registration, and re-verifying contact data every year. The [[European Commission]] and other relevant European policy bodies have since come out strongly against these recommendations, noting that they will violate European privacy laws. In response, ICANN CEO, [[Fadi Chehadé]], has alluded to going forward with the recommendations, as they continue to have GAC support, but not require European registrars to follow the sections that would violate their national laws. The possibility of having two distinct RAAs, one for European registrars and one for non-European registrars, will be a hot topic for discussion. | ||

* It was just announced that a new [[Batching|batching/metering]] system had been devised; such a system is necessary to allow ICANN to follow its mandate to not introduce more than 1,000 new gTLDs per year and to order applicants through the initial evaluation process to implementation. The last system, [[Digital Archery]], was infamously withdrawn at ICANN 44, after technical glitches were found and the community roundly opposed the system. The new system will be a manual lottery, and given its ramifications for new gTLD applicants, may be the most widely followed ICANN decision for the coming months. As of now, the lottery is set to take place in mid-December. | |||
