Fab Vayra was quoted in “Bipartisan Bill Seeks Aid to Fight Illegal Domain Names,” an article in Communications Daily, regarding domain names.

Critics say registries, registrars and the organization that accredits them, ICANN, lack the incentive to provide access to Whois data. ICANN is using GDPR to justify its lack of action, said Perkins Coie’s Fabricio Vayra. He said ICANN essentially functions as a trade association for organizations it accredits, and those organizations have financial incentive to limit cooperation on Whois data.
