When GDPR came into force in 2018, the redaction of whois databases caused a lot of concern about internet security. To solve the problem of getting non-public registration data without breaking privacy laws, the EPDP Team suggested a complex system called the Standardised Access System for Non-public Registration Data (SSAD). But it was too costly and complicated. So, ICANN is testing a simpler system called the Registration Data Request Service (RDRS), which connects users with ICANN-accredited registrars.

ICANN operates on a multi-stakeholder model, where every internet community has a voice in developing policies. However, it also relies on contractual instruments negotiated between ICANN and the contracted parties. These contracts include the Registry Agreement, the Registrar Accreditation Agreement, and the Registry-Registrar Agreement, which are negotiated directly between ICANN, registries, and registrars. The following focusses on the recent amendment to these agreements, which requires contracted parties to take reasonable and appropriate action to mitigate or disrupt domain registrations engaged in DNS Abuse.
