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''<ref name=":0">https://unipub.uni-graz.at/download/pdf/3703735</ref>''.'' Hudobnik analyzes, how access to crucial information and protected data in the [[Whois|WHOIS]]-system 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 [[General Data Protection Regulation|GDPR]]. The modification of the [[Whois|WHOIS]] databases has significant practical implications since the [[General Data Protection Regulation|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|domain name]] registration process. The year 2019 will show whether Phase 2 of the [[Expedited Policy Development Process on the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data (EPDP)|EPDP on the Temp Spec]] finalizes in time, and delivers a holistic solution for compliance with the [[General Data Protection Regulation|GDPR]] that is respected by the wide range of stakeholder groups involved.<ref>https://unikat.uni-graz.at/primo_library/libweb/action/display.do?tabs=detailsTab&ct=display&fn=search&doc=UGR_alma21341402160003339&indx=1&recIds=UGR_alma21341402160003339&recIdxs=0&elementId=0&renderMode=poppedOut&displayMode=full&frbrVersion=&frbg=&&dscnt=0&scp.scps=scope%3A%28UGR_almanz%29%2Cscope%3A%28UGR_alma%29%2Cscope%3A%28UGR_metalib_kb%29&tb=t&mode=Basic&vid=UGR&srt=rank&tab=default_tab&dum=true&vl(freeText0)=matthias%20hudobnik&dstmp=1572081019760</ref>
