4. The ALAC/At-Large community has the privilege to try and represent the interest of end users, the majority of whom are not registrants. Ironically, all parties focused on those non-registrant end users (i.e., GAC and SSAC) are advisory committees and, as such, are faced with peculiar challenges in the contest context of GNSO PDPs. In most instances, the lines drawn are not so bright but in the case of the EPDP on GDPR compliance, those non-registrant end users were given very little consideration. We are aware that the NCSG is operating from a principled, more ideological, position and that the contracted parties are potentially facing an extremely complex patchwork of privacy regimes and liability. However, we remain convinced that 3rd party access to registrant data is imperative to law enforcement, research and consumer protection in its many forms. The ALAC/At-Large community are aware of efforts by ICANN.org to take on some of the liability otherwise faced by contracted parties. Can you help us understand the likelihood of that outcome or any other efforts to ensure that the many do not suffer for the needs of the few? (Jonathan)
