<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">GDPR exists to protect natural persons and not legal persons. Step 1 is important for compliance with the GDPR. First distinguish b/w legal and natural and then personal v. nonpersonal – indeed,
this is for new registrations vs. existing registrations. Some members wish to only distinguish between personal and non-personal data – how can you distinguish only b/w personal and non-personal data – would this be done by asking the registrant or would
you do it yourself? Also, would this be mandatory or voluntary?<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;margin-top:0in;margin-bottom:0in;margin-left:.1pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-list:l0 level4 lfo1">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">OK with having a differentiation between legal and natural persons, so long as the registrant is in control of this determination and does not have it made for them. If we do introduce a legal
v. natural distinction, and someone checks “legal”, there needs to be assurances that this will not be abused. Surprised to hear that someone said there was no guidance in this document – the document does provide guidance. Hope to get rid of the third scenario,
but the other two are acceptable. <o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;margin-top:0in;margin-bottom:0in;margin-left:.1pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-list:l0 level4 lfo1">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">In terms of the person type, would not infer this as a registrar – would always have the data subject or domain owner indicate what type of person they are. In terms of required or voluntary, open
to understanding the possibilities, but there is already a recommendation on this topic, and have not yet seen anything compelling indicating that this distinction should be mandatory. For example, during the last meeting, registrars explained why flags are
difficult to implement.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;margin-top:0in;margin-bottom:0in;margin-left:.1pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-list:l0 level4 lfo1">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The last sentence is problematic, as it appears to be providing legal advice to contracted parties. This is not appropriate for a WG to be providing legal advice. This should ultimately be up to
the individual entity – these recommendations should not be written or drafted in a way that sounds like legal advice or guidance.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;margin-top:0in;margin-bottom:0in;margin-left:.1pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-list:l0 level4 lfo1">

<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">If it is up to the registrant to determine if data is personal or not personal – this has risks that if a registrant is a natural person, you should assume that all data is personal. If you allow
differentiation, this is more compliant.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;margin-top:0in;margin-bottom:0in;margin-left:.1pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-list:l0 level4 lfo1">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Appreciate concern for the risks we are addressing here. The domain owner can choose to publish information irrespective of person type – risk of publishing data without a proper legal basis is
a greater risk of not having a legal person’s data published.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;margin-top:0in;margin-bottom:0in;margin-left:.1pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-list:l0 level4 lfo1">

<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Understand this point about greater risk of publishing personal data, however, this distinction could be very confusing. Encourage to further discuss with data protection officers – compare the
two-step approach with the one-step approach. <o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;margin-top:0in;margin-bottom:0in;margin-left:.1pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-list:l0 level4 lfo1">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The Team is currently talking about guidance – if it is just guidance, the distinction between legal and natural in a two-step process, have trouble understanding what the resistance is to registrars
if it is just guidance. Is it b/c if you agree now, you’re concerned with it becoming mandatory? Please explain. The first step may actually be clarifying. If you check “yes” to this, your rights to data protection may be less strong or your data may be published.
If you are a company, are you using your home office for your registration? As long as the registrant is in control of those decisions, this would be OK.
