The question has been rejected because the issue it deals with is already addressed in the regulatory text. The following bilateral answer, not to be published, is proposed: The objective of DORA is to give competent authorities an accurate picture of the ICT risk landscape, especially regarding critical or important functions. The principle of proportionality and risk-based approach should be applied i.e. material contract changes that affect existing arrangements should be also considered and not only new contracts. Without prejudice to supervisory practices, it is ultimately for the competent authorities to provide clarity to their supervised entities on what they expect in terms of notification requirements. In this context, the principle of proportionality and a risk-based approach should guide such expectations. As a general principle, material planned arrangements (e.g., new contracts or changes that render a function critical or important) would typically warrant timely notification, while routine or minor changes could be reflected in the register of information and submitted annually. However, the concrete application of these expectations remains within the remit of the competent authorities.
