<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Following the request of the GNSO Council for the EPDP Team to identify any questions, comments or concerns to be shared with the ICANN Board in relation to their action on the EPDP Phase 1 Recommendations,
3 groups provided their feedback (see Annex A) which the EPDP Team discussed during its meeting on 6 June 2019. Although there was not sufficient time to formalize and agree on an EPDP Team response, the team felt it important to share the different perspectives
with you to help inform the Council’s preparation for the consultation process with the ICANN Board. My take-away from the discussion was that:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt">In relation to purpose 2, there is general understanding for why the Board decided to not adopt this purpose and the EPDP Team confirms that it considers it firmly within its scope for phase 2 to further review this purpose
in the context of the System for Standardized Access / Disclosure (SSAD);</span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt">For recommendation #12, some additional context has been provided that may help explain the thinking behind the EPDP Team’s original recommendation. However, there is no agreement at this stage on whether or not the Board’s
non-adoption should be supported. </span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The EPDP Team understands that following the GNSO Council’s consultation with the ICANN Board you will follow up with us to provide an update on dialogue with ICANN Board and request further input on the possible
next steps for GNSO Council. The EPDP Team stands ready to assist as needed. <o:p>
