seems that some people are seizing on the debate over the temp spec to impose new requirements on contracted parties. I understand that the chair and staff are trying their best to move things along, but we are disturbed by an apparent tendency to ignore or
disregard clear position statements from SGs. One of the most important jobs of the ePDP chair is to recognize where consensus exists and where it does not. Some proposals are just not real options: they will never survive a council vote or a consensus call
in the ePDP. It is unthinkable that the chair or staff would substitute their own preferences for the rough consensus of the working group.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The EPDP Team discussed these questions extensively (see [include link to attached document which includes the different proposals]) and although the EPDP Team agrees that Contracted Parties should be allowed to treat
legal and natural persons differently, the EPDP Team did not agree on whether this should be required and/or what further steps could or should be undertaken to determine what mechanism is needed to ensure reliable determination of status.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The EPDP Team further agrees under GDPR there is a legal basis to treat legal and natural persons differently, but does not agree on whether that means Contracted Parties should be required to do so, or whether the challenges
and legal risks involved in doing so result in leaving this optional. Similarly, the EPDP Team discussed the implication of other data protection regimes which could have different requirements that impact both natural and/or legal persons that would need
to be factored in. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The EPDP Team identified a number of risks, including:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0cm" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l4 level1 lfo1"><span lang="EN-US">While legal persons don’t have the same protections under GDPR, natural persons employed by a legal person (and who may be designated as the registrant, admin or technical contact) are
still natural persons enjoying rights and protections under GDPR. Some noted that this risk
<span style="color:black">may be minimized through clear explanatory language beneath each field when filling in data fields within domain name registrations.
</span> <o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l4 level1 lfo1"><span lang="EN-US">There may be situations in which it can be difficult to separate the data of natural persons from that of legal persons. This can be the case, for example, if the legal person is a sole
proprietorship, if the name of a person appears in the company’s name, if the business address is a natural person’s residence, or if an email address is assigned to a single individual (“<a href="mailto:john.doe@company.example.com">john.doe@company.example.com</a>”
as opposed to “<a href="mailto:info@company.example.com">info@company.example.com</a>.
<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:18.0pt"><span lang="EN-US"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The EPDP has discussed whether t<span style="color:black">his risk may be somewhat mitigated through educational resources</span>. Some in the EPDP Team expressed caution, as a stated necessity to rely on educational
resources may not be considered to be compatible with the concepts of privacy by default or privacy by design i.e. where additional ‘educational resources’ are deemed necessary, the process itself is likely not established or presented in a sufficiently clear
manner. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">To help further inform the EPDP Team’s deliberations on this topic as the team works towards a Final Report, the EPDP Team would like to request that GDD staff, who will design the implementation of these policy recommendations,
commences research by investigating how ccTLDs and contracted parties currently distinguish between natural and legal persons to inform the EPDP Team.<span style="color:black">
