 I apologize for not being on the call. I was on the Middle East Strategy call and I was not able to leave a bit early.

Thank you, Matt. I really appreciate you taking the pen on this.

I have a couple thoughts we should discuss on our call in a few minutes, a couple important ones being:

   - We should recognize the suggestion from Bird & Bird in the automation memo that providing a pre-approved list of options for the requestor to select makes a decision not automated, and ask for more detail on that. 
   - I think we should ask about the scenario where the Contracted Party does not have a choice about disclosing the data. This seems to be where the real heartburn is for Contracted Parties.  

As a question for staff and the larger team, I provided a list of questions on the legal team list pertaining to the Initial Report sections we should ask Bird & Bird to review. Whatever happened to those?

Hi folks,

Below are some thoughts on language to send to Bird & Bird along with the Automation Use Case document that the small team has prepared.  Looking forward to discussing tomorrow.

Thanks,

Matt

Automation Use Cases Legal Question

The EPDP team is deliberating on a set of use cases for potential automation of the decision to disclose non-public registrant data (attached as Exhibit 1).  This automation would occur within the agreed model for disclosure, which consists of a central gateway for the intake of requests by accredited users with the ultimate decision to disclose resting with Contracted Parties (who possess the underlying non-public registration data). Under the proposed automation use cases, the central gateway makes an automated decision on disclosure which is communicated to the relevant Contracted Party. The Contracted Party may then choose to follow that decision and disclose the data (see “Assumptions” in Exhibit 1 for further details). 

In light of the advice previously provide onQuestion 1&2 (Liability) and Question 3 (Automation), please provide the following analysis for each use case:

   - Please describe the risk of liability for the Central Gateway and Contracted Parties related to automating this decision to disclose registrant data. If there is additional information required to assess the risk, please note the additional information needed.
   - Is this a decision “which produces legal effects concerning [the data subject] or similarly significantly affects him or her” within the scope of Article 22?
   - Are there additional measures or safeguards that would mitigate the risk of liability?
   - Does automated decision-making performed in this manner impact your analysis on the roles/liability of the parties described in the Question 1&2 memo (e.g., Contracted Parties remain controllers with liability where “disclosure takes place in an automated fashion, without any manual intervention.” 1.1.4)

Additional automation clarifications:

   - [Placeholder for Brian K. proximate cause question]
   - [Any other clarifications from Question 3 memo]
