[CPWG] [registration-issues-wg] Urgent EPDP question

In agreement of contractual parties of having 2 systems,  one to protect
the "natural person" privacy information for every one globally and not
only those from Europe.
The second is for the "legal persons" and because they're under licence
agreements in the legal system of their respective countries.  Hence moving
to a two registered system has to have a limited and derminate timeframe to
move towards the dual registrant system. I don't think their concerns about
changing the system, but it seems it goes beyond that.

If there are concerns about the micro commercial business for individual
who function without any registration in their countries, it would be their
individual problem in how to be accountable to their countries requirements.
