[gnso-rds-pdp-wg] Principle on Proportionality for "Thin Data"access

Im sorry but i don't see the logic here (or the legal constraint)

Privacy laws protect personal data of INDIVIDUALS.  They do t protect non-personal data or data from non-individuals.

Nothing on the list below is personal data.  And no e of the principles given by Natalie apply.

The fact that i could use the data to obtain other data is irrelevant.  I can use a car to rob a bank but that itself is not a reason to restrict access to automobiles.

Me thinks you are trying to create a scarcity for some reason.

These principles would still apply, but would be contextualized in order to take into account new sets of parameters for each broader query. By increasing granularity as much as possible, while applying these aformentioned principles, we just might find a way to accomodate everyone.
