[Gnso-epdp-team] Draft Letter to EDPB

Tue Nov 27 15:17:38 UTC 2018

Dear Kurt and team,

We appreciate the time and effort that has gone into the crafting of the
letter to the EDPB; however, we strongly suggest we do not engage the EDPB
at this time for the following reasons:

1) The letter essentially requests the EDPB to serve as a consultant to the
ePDP from whom we are requesting legal advice (and in some instances on
relatively straightforward interpretations of basic concepts of the law).
They are not going to resolve these issues, and may instead focus on the
fact that there remain major misunderstandings as to the law. If we require
a legal analysis of the interim report, we should engage a lawyer/law firm,
as has been repeatedly suggested.

2) The initial report does not present for review any concrete policy.
Instead it is a discordant document filled with tentative suggestions and
polarised arguments. The EDPB will not look favorably on a request to
review this collection of our divergent views on the application of the
data protection principles, which could burn much needed political capital
when the time comes to request their definitive position on our final (or
close to final) recommendations.

Ultimately, we do not disagree that EDPB engagement is critical, and indeed
the EPDP charter suggests submission at this point; however, the effort
should be coordinated in a more formal manner, and only when we have
something more cohesive and final to present (such that they are able and
willing to review and comment within the scope of their official
responsibilities and capacity). At a minimum, perhaps we should attempt to
formally follow up with the authors of previous advice to ICANN?

Kind regards,

Alan Woods
(On behalf of the CPH)
