[cooperation-wg] Elephants and eIDs

Then I suggest you -  and Patrik?  and others? - read what they say about such services.

At one point they write: “In particular, many citizens complain about difficulties in switching email providers”. This is in the context of transferring "personal and non-personal data”.

No, I don’t know what this is meant to imply. Somebody has a Yahoo account and wants to switch to Gmail? And take their (IMAP) archives with them and their e-mail address?

I have heard Commission officials in the past talk about making e-mail addresses portable like telephone numbers.

More importantly it is not always for the Commission to interpret any regulations: others do that. You cannot got back to the Commission - or Council or Parliament! - and ask what they really meant. So effort now to help get it right can pay off.

Happy reading!
