“Former ICANN senior vice president Kurt Pritz is expected to be named chair of the group tasked with reforming Whois in the post-GDPR world,” reports Kevin Murphy in Domain Incite. “I’m told that choice was made by GNSO Council’s leadership and selection committee… and will have to be confirmed by the full Council when it meets this Thursday. Pritz would chair the GNSO’s first-ever Expedited Policy Development Process working group, which is expected to provide an ICANN community response to ICANN org’s recent, top-down Temporary Specification for Whois.”
