> I still have very  real questions about the order of discussion topics in Phase 1 of the work plan.
> 
> In item 8, the main topic is ‘develop initial possible requirements lis’t, starting from Questions posed by the Charter.  Yet it isn’t until item 12 that we deliberate on possible fundamental requirements.  
> 
> I am guessing that, to make sense of the order listed, we are to start with a list of all possible requirements (item 8) and by item 12, have the discussion as to what of the possible requirements should be accepted and what ‘requirements' will not be.
> 
> From a data protection perspective (that governs all EU countries, Canada, Australia and many other countries), the place to start is to ask what information - particularly personal information - an individual/organisation NEEDS to collect in order to carry out their task/business.  And ONLY that data is collected.  Other data protection steps follow: the personal information that is collected must only be used for the purpose(s) for which it was collected, and the information is only disclosed to the individuals/organisations that should have access.
> 
> So I am assuming that, at item 12 at the latest, those of us living under data protection legislation will look at the list of possible ‘requirements' and insist that only that information that is required for carrying on the business of a registrar or registry is gathered.  The questions that follow are then about how that limited information is used, and how that limited information is disclosed.
> 
> If that is not what is intended by the Work Plan, then we must have the discussion on what information is collected at item 8.
> 
> And while the EWG is a very useful report and a good place, amongst others, to start, we will not necessarily wind up in the same place that it did - and let’s not assume we will.
