<div class="byLine"> Mar 19, 2025 11:04 AM PDT </div> <p> Experts at a CircleID and Edgemoor Research Institute webinar debated the challenges of domain registration data access in a post-GDPR world.

By linking disparate findings, identifying serial infringers, and enabling bulk enforcement, AI offers a smarter approach to monitoring and takedown efforts. Yet, challenges remain - from data reliability to analyzing complex content. Companies that master AI-driven clustering may gain a significant advantage in the fight against brand abuse. </p> <div class="postInfo pipedLinks"> <ul> <li>By <a href="https://circleid.com/members/8564" class="blue">David Barnett</a></li> <li>Comments: 0</li> <li>Views: 5,810</li> </ul> </div> <h3><a href="/posts/beyond-whois-filling-the-gaps">Beyond WHOIS: Filling the Gaps</a></h3> <div class="byLine"> Feb 18, 2025 1:11 PM PST </div> <p> Amid evolving privacy laws and rising cybersecurity threats, domain registration data disclosure remains a contentious issue.

From slowing growth and rising renewal prices to shifting user behaviour driven by AI, the market is undergoing profound changes. These trends suggest a potential decline in domain volumes and a shift in how domains are valued and used.

This comes at a time when the total number of .KE domain registrations has remained stagnant at around 100,000 for several years, despite previous efforts to spur growth through price reductions. This blog explores the implications of the price adjustment, analyzes the competition faced by .KE domains, and evaluates the challenges and opportunities for KeNIC in a competitive domain market. </p> <div class="postInfo pipedLinks"> <ul> <li>By <a href="https://circleid.com/members/7252" class="blue">Mwendwa Kivuva</a></li> <li>Comments: 0</li> <li>Views: 7,901</li> </ul> </div> <h3><a href="/posts/beyond-whois-towards-a-new-framework-of-internet-domain-registration-data-disclosure">Beyond WHOIS: Towards a New Framework of Internet Domain Registration Data Disclosure</a></h3> <div class="byLine"> Jan 20, 2025 3:31 PM PST </div> <p> The collection and disclosure of DNS registration data have evolved chaotically, influenced by GDPR and other privacy laws.
