Some organisations may provide professional DPO services. If I were to engage such an organisation the organisation would be my DPO (not an individual that works for it?) and so actually on this point at least the ICO form makes sense, but there are still the other problems such as nowhere to say who has engaged/employed the DPO and it simply not working!
Perhaps the problem is that this form wasn't intended to be available as a standalone form and should only be presented as an option within the registration or registration amendment process when the identity of the Data controller/processor is already established (although the "add DPO" option on the fees page belies that theory!).

Chris

Subject: Re: [data-protection] Registering your DPO
In addition to the technical error the process makes no sense.
First page asks if your DPO is an individual or an organisation. Almost certainly they mean are you registering for an individual or an organisation which is not the same thing.
If you say "an individual" it doesn't enquire whether the DPO is DPO for an organisation - which confirms the first question is flawed. But if you select "organisation" it doesn't ask for the name of the DPO! So apart form the scripting error the process is badly designed from the outset.
