I'm glad I'm not the only one! I thought the same, and on that basis decided not to try registering, as I didn't know how to fill it in - as an individual or an organisation.

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.
