The title of the diploma thesis is ''[https://unipub.uni-graz.at/download/pdf/3703735 The Future of WHOIS - An analysis of the Policy Development Process under the GDPR with a focus on the litigation ICANN v. EPAG].'' Generally, the thesis analyzes, how can access to crucial information and protected data in the [[Whois|WHOIS]]-system be ensured. Specificially, 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|WHOIS]] databases has significant practical implications since the [[General Data Protection Regulation]] 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. 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.
