After a thorough review of current practice, legal opinion, and other factors, the GAC's comment put the matter succinctly:

Consequently, the GAC suggests that the EPDP reconsider its position. Instead of deferring this issue, the EPDP team could focus upon the legal guidance provided to develop reasonable policies to permit the information of legal entities to remain public. The time is now to implement policy that deals with this issue in a manner that promotes public safety and provides useful information to internet users seeking to navigate the internet safely and securely.<ref>[https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=126430750&preview=/126430750/134513453/gnso-EPDP-P2-pcrt-Initial-Report-Addendum-Recommendations_Legal_v_Natural_20200506.docx EPDP Workspace - Collated Comments Regarding Legal v.
