Mario, I believe that your second option is the simpler one. I agree that we should add an entry in section 5 "JSONPath Considerations" to address it. How about the following entry?
When there are multiple entities with the same role, include "redacted" members for each entity using the entity index instead of the role. A JSONPath can be created that identifies the entity based on an index of a role selector nodelist, such as "$.entities[?(@.roles[0]=='technical')][0]" for the first entity with the "technical" role. Using the entity index, such as "$.entities[1]", is simpler and recommended.

Hence, a JSONPath where redacted contacts are identified by filtering the enties only by role is not good. Possible alternatives are: - appending an index selector to indentify the redacted contacts among those having the same role (e.g. $.entities[?(@.roles[0]=='technical')][0]). This option seems to be allowed by jsonpath-base doc but I haven't yet found an online JSONPath evaluator supporting it. This make me think that libraries supporting JSONPath might not handle it at least presently. - using only the index selector regardless of the role (e.g. $.entities[1]). This option is surely allowed and supported but doesn't convey the concept that redaction is applied depending on contact role. Should this case be treated in Section 5 to provide guidance for implementers ?
