During the role play exercise, each assignment (IP lawyer, end user, privacy expert and registry operator) will get 5-10 minutes to share their approach to the questions above. After everyone shares their initial thoughts, we will engage as a GNSO working group would to find a consensus solution to the Legal vs. Natural Persons’ challenge. Remember, while you are collaborating with colleagues who have the same role play assignment, you remain individuals. The purpose of you working together is to share knowledge.This means that you don’t all have to agree on how to answer the questions detailed above. Please be prepared to speak during this session and turn on your cameras, if possible.
