<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Could you perhaps clarify what you’re thinking about in relation to ICANN 65. You mentioned a full day meeting on day 0, but it’s not clear how many other meetings etc., the team would be expected
to have during ICANN 65. I ask this as you’re, quite reasonably, requesting travel support for some of the group, so a better understanding of what that travel support would actually be covering would be helpful.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">As directed by the GNSO Council, the EPDP Team has commenced its work on phase 2 by focusing on the development of a work plan and timeline for the phase 2 deliberations.
</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">As part of these discussions, the EPDP Team is also expected to identify whether any additional resources are needed, beyond the traditional support that is provided to GNSO policy development activities,
to meet the milestones and timeline proposed. The EPDP Team would like to recognize the critical importance of the additional resources provided for phase 1 in facilitating the deliberations and allowing the EPDP Team to deliver a Final Report within the timeframe
provided. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The EPDP Team wants to ensure that any specific resource requests are fiscally responsible by demonstrating clear alignment with the work plan and timeline, as such, some additional time will be needed to
formulate any such requests. Nevertheless, there are some immediate resources that the EPDP Team considers crucial in supporting the initial stages of phase 2 and as such we would like to request that the GNSO Council petition the ICANN Board to provide immediate
support for the following resources:</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Some have also requested that travel support is to be made available for ICANN65 for EPDP Team members who would otherwise not be able to attend and where no alternate is able to step in. We leave it up to
the Council’s discretion to determine whether this is a reasonable request to include with the above.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">In order to take full advantage of the face-to-face opportunity that Marrakesh offers and minimize conflict with other meetings, we would also like to request support for organizing a one day face-to-face
meeting on day zero of ICANN65. A request for such a meeting would need to be made by 26 March at the latest and is subject to approval by ICANN Org as well as availability of facilities. If such a request is granted, this would also require funded travelers
to arrive a day earlier than normally foreseen, including an additional hotel night.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
