<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Hi Ayden,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Thank you for your questions and for the opportunity to clarify our position. I understand your questions address the substance of the recommendations and not the GNSO Council’s remit within the Board Approval
Process.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0cm" start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color:black;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1">Regarding your first question:<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">You are correct that the ‘Organisation’ field pertains to information of legal entities and thus should not be subject to GDPR principles (and thus should not be deleted or even redacted). However, this is not
treated as such in the Final Report. To avoid that we enter into circular discussions, we started from the premise in the Final Report (and the draft rationale for rec. #12) that the GDPR could apply to the ‘Organisation’ field. Our point is that, in such
a case, the practices of both disclosing AND deleting data are subject to GDPR according to article 4 (2). ,The deletion of previously provided data can likewise not occur without a solid purpose, legal basis and safeguards.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0cm" start="2" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color:black;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">Regarding your second question:<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">(i) You are correct that the GDPR requires consent to be informed, affirmative and freely given. However, active opt-in consent is only required when relying on consent as a legal basis (art. 6.1.a). The Final
Report and the guidance of the EU Authorities and DPAs have established that, depending on the purpose, the performance of the registration contract (art. 6.1.b) and legitimate interest (art. 6.1.f) are the valid legal bases. For the latter, an opt-out mechanism
or redaction mechanism can be sufficient to shift the balance in favour of the interested party (cfr. Article 29 WP Guidance on Legitimate Interest) and active opt-in consent is not required.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">(ii) If you were to rely on consent as a legal basis, normally (and ideally) consent is obtained at the time of collection of the personal data (i.e. the registration of the domain name). It is at this point in
time that the data subject (registrant) is properly informed of the processing activities and is engaged in providing the necessary information related to the purpose and legal bases (i.e., performance of the registration agreement). Practice has shown that
there are a lot of problems with obtaining consent after the fact (i.e., during the performance of the registration agreement). Quite often data subjects cannot be contacted, are confused about the nature of the opt-in communication, are simply not interested,
etc. Accordingly, the requirement of an active opt-in consent on the basis of a ‘review request’ to existing registrants unnecessarily risks losing valid organisation information on a wide scale.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">I hope this sufficiently answers your questions and clarifies the position of the IPC on this matter.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Sorry if this is a stupid question, but since data that does not pertain to natural persons is beyond the scope of the GDPR, I do not understand how you can make the claim that article 4 (2) of the GDPR does not allow for the organisation
field to be deleted. Could you please clarify? Thanks.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I am also concerned that what you describe below - "Practice has shown that data subjects are generally reluctant to take active steps after their data has been collected to provide active opt-in consent (cfr. opt-in emails)" - sounds like
a proposal for not obtaining consent that is valid under the GDPR, which I understand requires consent to be freely given.<o:p></o:p></p>

by the registrant unless (i) the registrant has requested the erasure of the ‘Organisation’ field by exercising his right to erasure (this right must be actively exercised and cannot be inferred), (ii) the retention of the ‘Organisation’ field is no longer
necessary for the purposes of processing the domain name registration data (Recommendation #15 implies that the retention period of the data elements would at the minimum be the ‘life of the registration’), or (iii) the registrar can justify the deletion on
the basis of another valid legal basis (such as the consent of the registrant). </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p style="text-align:justify;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="color:black">Procedurally, we fail to see the use of the checks and balances incorporated in the ‘Board Approval Process’ of Annex A-1 Section 6 of the Bylaws if it would be outside the GNSO Council’s

That legal analysis must be completed before the EPDP Team can even begin to consider how to revise Purpose 2. </span><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:black">Further, it is not typical for the Council to instruct a PDP as to when it works on
such specific tasks. It is up to the PDP Working Group, with its leadership and coordinating with ICANN staff, to prioritize its work. So far, the EPDP Team has prioritized the work related to the </span><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">System for
Standardized Access to Non-Public Registration Data, consistent with its Charter, and with the concerns of many of the GNSO Councilors. At this point, the RrSG sees no reason for the Council to intervene to reprioritize the Purpose 2 work ahead of the chartered work. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p>Hi Marie,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Thanks for your initial feedback here, and for the discussion during yesterday’s Council call.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>On your second point below, related to the Board’s treatment of Recommendation 12, I believe it is outside the Council’s remit to suggest, or even allow, a modification to the Consensus Policy recommendation delivered to us by the EPDP Team, and subsequently
delivered by Council to the Board. In my view, it is the role of Council to now hold the Board accountable for its decision to not accept Rec 12 in full, and to call for the Board to accept it following the clarification they requested.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I welcome further discussion on these items following discussion with our respective SGs and Cs, but that’s my current view.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Best,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p><span style="color:black">Hi Keith,</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="color:black"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="color:black">Thanks for sharing the draft. I’m afraid I haven’t been able to discuss this much with our members yet (sorry) but on an initial reading, the BC does have some concerns.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="color:black"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="color:black">On your first point, on rec 1, while the first sentence is great, we have problems with the second. As you know from the comments we attached to Janis’ letter, we really need to give the EPDP Team a clear instruction to reword this
and replace the placeholder language; I understand that it’s not on the Team’s roadmap right now. We really think that at a minimum, Council needs to tell the Team to do that and get it back ASAP for Board action. We all agree that the EPDP should deal with
this, so we really do need a purpose 2 (for 3rd party access) for the Board to adopt. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="color:black"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="color:black">As for your 2nd para, on rec 12, we don’t agree that it should just be resubmitted as is. As you know, the BC really does think that as far as the ORG field goes, Rec 12 should be amended to remove the deletion option. There could
always be an option of to allow the contracted parties to update any inaccuracies in the ORG field, as appropriate, if they need that.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p><span lang="EN-GB"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>In preparation for our Council meeting this week, please review the attached draft letter to the ICANN Board concerning next steps on the two EPDP Phase 1 recommendations not accepted in full by the Board.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>As you will recall, we had a good conversation with the ICANN Board during our working session lunch, and we committed to following up on the issue. The draft letter is self-explanatory, and our goal is to ensure a common understanding between Council and
Board before we take our formal action to request Board reconsideration on Recommendation 12. We want to avoid an ongoing back-and-forth on the issue, so our hope is this letter will pave the way to a clear resolution.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Please review before our Council meeting.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Thanks to Rafik and Pam for leading this work while I was on PTO.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
