[gnso-rds-pdp-wg] Here's an idea...

[Rod Rasmussen]

So I’d gotten out of the habit of occasionally interjecting into one of the long debate threads we have here on this list with a handy reference to the relevant section of the EWG report that covers that topic-of-the-day, usually quite thoroughly and clearly.  Got sorta busy on SSAC-y stuff as you may have heard.  I’ll try to fit more of those in going forward since it may get more of you who haven’t had a chance to finish the EWG report to read more of that document - I know its long.

Anyways, as I was doing that today to reinforce the point Andrew was making so well, it occurred to me that we could short-circuit a whole lot of our debates/discussions on what is or isn’t workable under GDPR etc. simply by asking one of the EU DPA’s to evaluate the EWG Report itself and weigh in on whether or not the various principles and recommendations for models it contains would work.  Then we could just work areas where it isn’t sufficient, adequate or in conflict and just go with it for solving all our other problems.

I know, just a fantasy, but we’re coming up on the four-year anniversary of that document and I see no end in sight for this WP which is so frustrating for me personally given that we have probably 90% or more of this stuff solved in a very handy document already.  Maybe we should just use that as a de-facto baseline and hammer on the parts where there is still disagreement rather than re-doing all that work again and getting to basically the same place, just FAR more slowly.

Cheers,

Rod
