Benedict suggested "supplicant" during last week's face-to-face meeting, Steve expressed some concern with the term, and we all seemed to agree with those concerns. I heard from another member of the EPDP group who suggested that "requestor" is the term usually used under data protection law. Does anyone object to using that term?

Sorry, I wasn’t sufficiently clear:

Supplicant = one seeking authentication
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supplicant_(computer)

Requestor = one who, having been authenticated, seeks data

Not sure what word we should use who is authenticated but not authorised!
