The Expedited Policy Development Process on the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data (EPDP) was initiated by the GNSO Council on 19 July 2018 to determine if the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data should become ICANN consensus policy, with or without modifications, while ensuring compliance with the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other relevant privacy and data protection laws.
Context
On 17 May 2018, the ICANN Board adopted the Temporary Specification as an interim model for WHOIS compliance. This temporary specification was designed to allow registries and registrars to be compliant with the GDPR without being in breach of their contract with ICANN.
The procedure for Temporary Policies, requires the consensus policy development process (in this case the EPDP) to be completed within a year of the Temporary Specification effective date of 25 May 2018.
Mission and Scope
The EPDP Team's objective is to determine if the Temporary Specification should become an ICANN Consensus Policy, as is or with modifications, while complying with the GDPR and other relevant privacy and data protection law. At a minimum, the EPDP is expected to consider the questions laid out in the charter.
The charter questions break down into two sections:
- Questions on the "Terms of the Temporary Specification"
- Questions on a "System for Standardized Access to Non-Public Registration Data"
