A DPO is most certainly not required by all organisations[0], and I would be suprised if it applied to this project. I know lots of blogs are saying it is, but it is simply untrue. I'm not saying that this totally relieves the burden however.

There are certainly allot large organisations that need a DPO, all these companies will compete on a small number of DPO candidates.

How are they suppose to fill the positions by 25th of May?

Most certainly simply untrue?

There are two sentences there.

A lot of people are claiming that a DPO is required. GP is saying that a DPO is most certainly not required and that the claim [that a DPO is required] is simply untrue.
