[Gnso-epdp-team] Some badly needed wording fixes as we finalize interim report

Hi Amr,

If you recall from our numerous discussions on this topic a main point of
contention was around how specific we need to be GDPR compliant.   The IPC
has always argued that specificity is required - especially when defining
which 3rd parties with legitimate interests may be granted access to
non-public whois data.    When we landed on the current wording for purpose
2 during the face to face meeting in Barcelona, I raised the concern that
it was my experience that many do not believe that "security, stability and
resiliency" include IP interests.    This was confirmed as true by three
people in the room.

So it was and still is crystal clear to me vague language - including the
language recently suggested by Milton - does not cover IP.    I'm sure you
can appreciate why this is a major concern for us.  The compromise language
addressed this major issue for the IPC - allowing us to move forward.

If we all agree that abuse and intellectual property are legitimate
interests then we should state it.  As for why are these called out and
others are not, the IPC believes they should all enumerated and plans to
respond to Question #1 accordingly.

I'll also refer you to my email to the list on Sep 12th  (seems to long
ago!) where I addressed this exact issue.

"[...]

Also, as you know personal data needs to be collected for specified,
explicit and legitimate purposes.  (Article 5(1)(b)) so given we removed
"including but not limited to" we need to be explicit and not use general
language.

In addition the principle of transparency mentioned in recital 39 ("In
particular, the specific purposes for which personal data are processed
should be explicit and legitimate and determined at the time of collection
of the personal data") and 58 ("The principle of transparency requires that
any information addressed to the public or to the data subject be concise,
easily accessible and easy to understand..." are relevant.    This
principal is further defined in Article 12(1) and Article 13(1).     "

Thanks.
Alex
