Dear Council colleagues,

Cherine Chalaby has proposed a discussion between the Board, RDS PDP leadership and Council leadership on the intersection of RDS PDP and GDPR. After consulting with Chuck Gomes (RDS PDP Chair), Donna and Rafik, I have sent the high-level reply below. We're hopeful that the discussions can get underway as expeditiously as possible.

We will continue to keep you informed.

Best wishes,

Heather
