[Gnso-epdp-team] SSAD as a means of publishing non-personal data

Hi Melina,

I wanted to make sure if I was somehow mistaken and went back to the draft
text of NIS as you asked me in the document:
" *The solution you propose is not in line with neither GDPR nor NIS 2
Proposal. There is a reason why both legal texts distinguish between
natural and legal entities. Privacy specialists drafting these laws made
this distinction for a reason. I have noticed that you are often doubting
the interpretation of specific words in specific legal provisions, yet your
proposed 'personal non-personal distinction is not based on any legal act
(not that I know of). In case you have in mind a privacy regulation which
makes a distinction between personal and non-personal data irrespective of
whether the data subject is legal or natural I would be interested in
reading the provision."*

So I looked at NIS again and it was as I remembered it:

*"4. Member States shall ensure that the TLD registries and the entities
providing domain name registration services for the TLD publish, without
undue delay after the registration of a domain name, domain registration
data which are not personal data."*
Note it says: "which are not personal data" not "of legal entities which
are not containing any personal data". The entity type is not even
mentioned as a qualifier for disclosure. As you say you had a hand in
writing this section, you should be aware of what it says, which is not
what you claim it does. Hence my pushback on your claim. My proposal is
very much in line with this requirement of NIS2 as drafted. To the letter,
actually! Even NIS 2 differentiates only on data type, not on entity type
here. I therefore fail to see how my proposal violates NIS2 when it matches
it to the letter.

As for the concerns voiced by Hadia, as long as you are clear about the
consequences of the declaration in your disclaimer, e.g. state that
declaring data as non-personal will result in publication in SSAD, anyone
will understand that. They may not understand the difference in the type of
data, but they will understand the consequence.
