Domain name registries and registrars will not be able to implement ICANN’s proposed overhaul of the Whois system in time for the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation according to an estimated timetable from ICANN. Kevin Murphy reporting from Domain Incite reports: “Depending on the detail of the finalized plan, we could be looking at the back end of 2019 before all the pieces have been put in place. Crucially, the contracted parties warn that designing and rolling out a temporary method for granting Whois access to entities with legitimate interests in the data, such as police and trademark owners, could take a year.”
