TheRegional Court in Bonn, Germany has decided to reconsider a decision issued in May in a case brought forward by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). Back in May, the court dismissed ICANN's request for an injunction meant to oblige German domain name registrar EPAG to continue to collect administrative and technical contact information when domain names and registered. ICANN appealed the decision, and it was up to Bonn court to decide whether to re-evaluate its ruling or maintain it and forward the matter to the Higher Regional Court. EPAG now has two weeks to comments on ICANN's appellate papers.
