[Gnso-epdp-team] ICANN org response to EPDP question

[Ayden Férdeline]

Could the answer not have been, a Data Protection Impact Assessment was/is required under all three of the scenarios outlined in paragraph three of this response? Indeed, in advice from the Article 29 Working Party (attached), they suggest, "In cases where it is not clear whether a DPIA is required, the WP29 recommends that a DPIA is carried out nonetheless as a DPIA is a useful tool to help data controllers comply with data protection law."

Best wishes, Ayden

To recap:

> In general, a DPIA is designed to (a) describe the processing and purpose of processing of personal data, including where applicable the legitimate interest pursued by the controller, (b) assess the processing necessity and proportionality, and (c) help manage the risks to the rights and freedoms of data subjects resulting from the processing. The elements of a DPIA are more fully described in Article 35(7) of the GDPR.  Under Article 35(1), a DPIA is only required where a type of processing is “likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons”.

One of the issues is when to do a DPIA that is most timely and useful--should the DPIA be conducted on the original requirements in the registry and registrar agreements, on the Temporary Specification which is temporary, or on the new requirements being discussed in the EPDP? We continue to evaluate whether that assessment should be performed and, if so, when.
