The key changes confirmed following this process are:
- Registrant data will be redacted from the WHOIS from 22 May 2018, unless explicit consent has been given.

- The .UK Registrar Agreement will be updated, renamed the .UK Registry-Registrar Agreement, and will include a new data processing annex.
- The existing Privacy Services framework will cease to apply.
