Forty five what? Forty five abandoned top level domains.
On November 7, ICANN received a notice from the Communication Regulatory Authority of the State of Qatar that they are terminating the registration agreement for .DOHA.
Two weeks before that, the Zadco company terminated .ZIPPO.

M3AAWG, the Messaging, Malware, and Mobile, Anti-Abuse Working Group
and APWG, the Anti-Phishing Working Group, surveyed their members about
recent WHOIS changes. With over 300 results from security researchers, it's the
broadest report yet on WHOIS use.

I have recently become aware of
a blog post
from Recorded Future that
attempts to analyse the effects of the GDPR on online security.
Unfortunately, it starts by asking an irrelevant question, and then
goes on to use irrelevant metrics to come to a meaningless answer.
The premise of Recorded Future's article -- that spammers would send
more spam and register more domains because GDPR came into effect --
tells us nothing useful about how GDPR affects anything. It's the
wrong question, it's not a question most security people are concerned
with, and it ignores how spam and spammers work.

Carl Malamud's Public.Resource.Org
has for over 20 years been putting public documents online so they are easier
to find and use. He's been quite successful in getting documents online that were formerly
available only on paper, or only by paid subscription.
One project involves putting US laws online. In a lot of cases, laws
refer to standards maintained by private organizations. For example,
most state building codes require new construction to comply with the
National Electrical Code published by the private National Fire
Protection Association. There are thousands of standards used in laws
around the US, and in many cases the only way to find out what the standard
says, and hence what the law says, is to buy a copy from the publisher, or
at best to go to a library and read a paper copy.
PRO has been scanning and publishing standards on the theory that in the US, laws
are not copyrighted, so if a standard's part of the law, it's not copyrighted either.
Unsurprisingly, the standards publishers disagreed.
