Re: ICANN GDPR lawsuit

["Badiei, Farzaneh" <farzi () gatech edu>]

And here is the court decision, 
https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/litigation-icann-v-epag-request-court-order-prelim-injunction-redacted-30may18-en.pdf


gotta love the German wisdom:


The Application for preliminary injunction of May 25, 2018 is rejected at the expense of the Applicant.


"Insofar as the Applicant bases its claim to relief on a parallel of the so-called "WHOIS" system to international 
agreements on trade mark registers, the Chamber is unable to follow this. The legal basis for the trademark registers 
on the basis of international agreements is missing in relation to the "WHOIS" service claimed by the Applicant. The 
fundamental comparability of the respective general need for protection does not change this."

Elliot said that if he had to choose between fighting ICANN and
fighting governments, he'd fight ICANN.  I can't blame him.
