<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">There is some confusion whether Recommendation 5 requires registrars to offer the Tech Contact fields to their Registered Name Holders or not. This is because Recommendation 5's table marks the
Tech Contact fields as mandatory to collect, but Recommendation 5 also says "if the Registrar provides this option". <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">SSAC understands that there are legal requirements for collecting and transferring the Tech Contact data which will need to be discussed in the implementation phase. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">SSAC believes that the ePDP Team's discussion was: Registrars MUST offer the Registered Name Holder the opportunity to provide Technical Contact data. Technical Contact data should be optional
for the Registered Name Holder to provide. If Technical Contact data is provided to the registrar, the data must be provisioned to the registry. If that is what Recommendation 5 delivers, SSAC can endorse Recommendation 5. If Recommendation 5 does not deliver
that, SSAC cannot endorse Recommendation 5.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">As SSAC stated in SAC104:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">"The GDPR states clearly that it 'does not cover processing of personal data which concerns legal persons.' We recommend that registrars be required to<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">deploy mechanisms that ensure a reliable declaration or determination of natural or legal person status for new registrations going forward, and to<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">eventually obtain those declarations or determinations for existing registrations and their registrants.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">"Contact data associated with natural persons should be published in RDS where such is not prohibited by local law. In SAC101, SSAC stated: 'The new<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">not a domain contact is protected by GDPR or by any other local privacy law. The result has been blanket redactions, hiding more data than is legally<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">We also note that as of this writing, most ccTLD operators in the European Union continue to publish some (and sometimes all) contact data fields for<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">domains registered by legal persons. Some continue to publish some personal data for natural person registrants in public WHOIS output.'<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">"SAC101 also highlights RIPE-NCC's solution, which allows for the publication of data about natural persons contained in the contact data for<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">legal persons. This process provides mechanisms that RIPE-NCC says were specifically designed to comply with GDPR. The RIPE-NCC solution seems to<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">be balanced in that it provides contactability and does not overapply the law. SSAC believes that RIPE's model deserves a full examination and neutral<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">legal evaluation.... We also recommend the following:
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">1. Introduction of a policy requiring registrants to make a legal or natural person declaration.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">2. Obtaining declaration would be mandatory for registrars to implement within a reasonable time.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">3. A declaration would only be required during registration events, i.e. when a new domain is registered, or when an existing domain is renewed or<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">transferred (by gaining registrar). This would eventually "fill in" status data about existing/historical registrations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">4. Registrar may make declaration on behalf of registrant if the registrar has reasonable knowledge of registrant's status and the registrant has not<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">made a declaration of its own. This would be applicable to registrars with specific business models, for instance when they only process registrations<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">on behalf of organizations where it is clear that the registrant falls into a particular category based on their relationship with the registrar.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">5. Registrant may change its declaration at any time.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">6. The absence of a declaration results in assumption that the registrant is a natural person; i.e. a default redaction of data.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
