# EPDP Phase 1, Phase 2 and Phase 2A

The three stages of ICANN's fast-track policy work on gTLD registration data after the GDPR. Phase 1 set what data is collected, published and redacted, and led to the Registration Data Policy. Phase 2 proposed the SSAD disclosure system. Phase 2A dealt with legal versus natural persons and anonymized email addresses.
