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

[Seun Ojedeji]

Hello Alan,

I join others to agree that there indeed needs to clear differentiation
between the 2 element, actually am unsure how not differentiating will
better help towards fulfilling GDPR requirements. My hope though is that
the "natural persons" referred will not be to those covered by GDPR alone
but rather to the global registrants.

Regards
PS: On a lighter note, what is GDPS as mentioned by Alan? - Lots of Acronym
in ICANN acronymn soup.
