View source for Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data

The '''Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data''' (adopted by the [[ICANN Board]] on 17 May 2018) established temporary requirements for [[gTLD]] [[Registry|registry operators]] and [[Registrar|registrars]] to comply with the European Union's [[General Data Protection Regulation]] (GDPR) without breaking existing ICANN contractual requirements and community-developed policies. The Temporary Specification provides a single, unified interim model that ensures a common framework for handling registration data and maintaining the WHOIS system while the GNSO determines whether to adopt it as a consensus policy or develop an alternative policy. [[ICANN]]'s stated objective of the Temporary Specification is to comply with the GDPR, while maintaining the WHOIS system to the greatest extent possible.
