# Step 1: Setting up

First, you've read up on the [role of the DPO](https://www.dastra.eu/fr/guide/les-missions-du-dpo/51090) and the requirements for appointing a DPO, then you decide whether or not to [appoint a DPO](https://www.dastra.eu/fr/guide/les-modalites-de-designation-dun-delegue-a-la-protection-des-donnees/42392) in your organization.

Your choice will be an employee (DPO or not) who, in turn, will define and lead a network of GDPR correspondents within the company's various businesses.

{% hint style="info" %}
The appointment of a Data Protection Officer (DPO) is **mandatory** for:

* Public organizations ;
* Companies whose core business involves large-scale, regular and systematic tracking of individuals, or large-scale processing of so-called "sensitive" data or data relating to criminal convictions and offenses.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://doc.dastra.eu/en/commencer/tutorial/step-1-setting-up.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
