I do not support this as a path forward.
We have seen repeatedly that the legal advice we have been issued has been ignored by those who are unhappy with the message contained within it.
And I disagree with the assertion that there is a "clear lack of consensus" on the question of the extraterritorial nature of the GDPR.
To continue dwelling on this question will ensure that we never make any progress as a working group.

I think it is fair to say there is a clear lack of consensus. Therefore I would like to propose the following. Allow the group to comprise a list of legal questions regarding this issue and forward it to ICANN.org and ask of them the following:

I think us ICANN volunteers toiling away in the PDP coal mine are entitled/deserve an answer to these questions to allow us to move forward with more productive work It does the group no good for a bunch of well-intentioned individuals lacking the requisite legal training to debate these issues.
