Re: Is WHOIS going to go away?

GDPR only has jurisdiction over individuals who are citizens of countries which are members of the EU. About 27 countries out of almost 200 in this world. And companies which manage that data and are also within the EU's jurisdiction. But that jurisdiction arises from an individual's EU nation citizenship. So why not just have a checkmark at domain registration which asks whether you believe yourself to be within the EU's jurisdiction and, if so, no WHOIS publication for you, or very limited. -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die | bzs@TheWorld.com | http://www.TheWorld.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: +1 617-STD-WRLD | 800-THE-WRLD The World: Since 1989 | A Public Information Utility | *oo*
