=== Diploma thesis ===

The diploma thesis analyzes, 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 [[General Data Protection Regulation]]. The modification of the [[Whois]] databases has significant practical implications since the GDPR came into force, as well as the Expedited Policy Development Process (EPDP) on the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data (Temp Spec), 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. This year 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.
