RE: natural-legal persons, looks to me like you did a thorough job of meshing the many suggestions for change.

There is no mention of the fact that current registrations are not classified by legal/natural. That may be too obvious to need stating, however, and if trying to fix this throws us back into two hours of contentious wordsmithing I’d say don’t worry about it.

I am generally in approval of this as it stands, and am eager to settle on language and move on to other things.

Subject: [Gnso-epdp-team] Language for inclusion in the Initial Report - Natural/legal person and geographic basis

Dear All,

With the aim of finalizing the proposed language in relation to natural/legal person and geographic basis, please find attached the proposed language for inclusion in the Initial Report . The leadership team & staff tried to address all input and find the right balance in conveying the different points of view without turning this into a lengthy debate between the different perspectives. Do note that for the parts highlighted in yellow, groups can still indicate if they want to have their name associated with a certain position. Thank you for all your input.

Best regards,

Caitlin, Berry and Marika
