Dear All,

In preparation for tomorrow’s small team meeting, please find attached some background information on this topic that may aid your preparations. As a reminder, the small team is expected to consider the following charter questions:

h)     Applicability of Data Processing Requirements

h3) Should Contracted Parties be allowed or required to treat legal and natural persons differently, and what mechanism is needed to ensure reliable determination of status? 

h4) Is there a legal basis for Contracted Parties to treat legal and natural persons differently?

h5) What are the risks associated with differentiation of registrant status as legal or natural persons across multiple jurisdictions? (See EDPB letter of 5 July 2018).

In order to better co-ordinate the small teams, please use the following link to sign up: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ChEYy-cZmT3qTD62-HsoVmddD96m6cbkSOv5dmAjmpY/edit?usp=sharing. As a reminder, please self-organize and assign max. 1 member from each group per small team. Call details will be sent to all, but only designated members are expected to attend (view only AC will be available for others interested to follow the deliberations).
