Name.com still shows the whois info?! What about GDPR?

not sure what you mean.. GDPR is for EU residents.

Whilst I know that some registries are obfuscating domains in the WHOIS, I don't know if they are intelligently displaying non-EU addresses, that would be something worth finding out about. Some registrars are completely defying the GDRP restrictions placed on them, like Godaddy (https://domainnamewire.com/2018/05/22/godaddy-will-continue-publishing-most-domain-owner-data/).

I think you're probably OK in this case, because most of the information is of a company name and address (apart from Allen's full name). Company names (public entities, organisations) aren't subject to GDPR obfuscation either.

I hope that this helps.

I am a EU citizen, and one of my Dynadot domains is still showing my full ID.

Yes, when querying the local WHOIS servers of US registrars like Dynadot, Epik, NameCheap, Name.com etc. - you can get all contact details as it was prior GDPR, no any changes.

In this particular case, one needs to go to name.com website and request whois, which is not 100% natural thing to do for .pro. Afaik the only thin registries are .com, .net and .jobs. Dot pro is thick registry and normal registry whois output is GDRP-compliant:

Domain Name: RUSSELL.PRO
Registry Domain ID: D503300000114523791-LRMS
Registrar WHOIS Server: whois.name.com
Registrar URL: www.name.com

Why name.com registrar elected to serve web-based whois requests from their local db and in non-GDRP compliant way is an interesting question.
