LOS ANGELES - The Board of Directors of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names
and Numbers (ICANN) announced in a press release that it voted to reaffirm the “Temporary Specification for gTLD
Registration Data.”
The Temporary Specification was originally approved by the
Board on May 17, 2018, in order to establish temporary requirements for how
ICANN and its contracted parties will comply with existing ICANN contractual
requirements and community-developed policies in relation to the European
Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Under the procedures for adopting Temporary Policies
outlined in the Registry Agreement and Registrar Accreditation Agreement, the
Board must reaffirm the adoption every 90 days, and may continue to do so for
no more than a year.
