<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Many thanks for the detailed response, Keith and for your views, Maxim.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">As you know our concern is that as worded, the supplemental recommendation could leave us with scenarios where there is both no data in the Org field and the Registered
Name field listing simply “domain admin”, thus “domain admin” becomes the registrant: that poses clear risks of (inter alia) domain hijacking.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Our concern isn’t about redaction, but deletion. If the data is deleted – and this of course would include deleting
<i>accurate</i> data – we could be left with no data at all and confusion as to who is the actual registrant.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">We fully agree (of course!), Maxim, that no-one wants<i> inaccurate</i> data (reference our earlier comments on this): can this not be dealt with in implementation of
the policy rather than in the policy itself? e.g.: Going forward a new registrant, or a registrant renewing their registration, should be required to verify/confirm the accuracy of the data? To answer Maxim’s final point: as drafted the supplemental recommendation
would not just “sacrifice all the [inaccurate] data of such domains” but all the
<i>accurate</i> data too, and the possibility to verify the actual registrant.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Understanding Keith’s issue about amending the initial recommendation, could this be dealt with instead by a small change in the supplemental wording?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">In relation to Recommendation 12, with respect to the option to delete data in the Organization field, the GNSO Council adopts the following
Supplemental Recommendation reaffirming the part of the original Recommendation #12 and the Implementation Advice which stated that: “b) If the registrant declines, or does not respond to the query, the Registrar may redact the Organization field, or delete
the field contents.” (emphasis added) but hereby provid<s>ing</s></span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:red;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">es</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"> additional implementation guidance:
similar to what was recommended in Recommendation 29 in the context of the deletion of administrative contact, prior to eliminating Organization Contact fields, all Registrars MUST ensure that each registration contains

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">Hi Marie,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">Thank you for the continued engagement of the BC on this topic.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">I’ll take this opportunity to provide some context for where we are, and how we arrived at the proposed motion text:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0cm" start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l5 level1 lfo1"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">We have engaged with the ICANN Board, both in writing and in F2F meetings (Marrakech and Montreal), to discuss this issue and to fully understand the Board’s concerns.
<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l5 level1 lfo1"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">Through that engagement over many months, and in consultation with the EPDP Team, we were able to develop implementation guidance that we believe will address
the Board’s concerns.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l5 level1 lfo1"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">During ICANN 66 in Montreal, we consulted with the EPDP Team, and there was no consensus to re-do or alter the original Recommendation 12 language.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l5 level1 lfo1"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">As the PDP manager, the GNSO Council is now required to either accept the Board’s rejection of that portion of Recommendation 12, or to reaffirm the original language.
With no consensus within the EPDP Team to amend it, and following the extensive exchanges referenced above, the Council is prepared to reaffirm the original recommendation but include implementation guidance to address the Board’s stated concerns.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l5 level1 lfo1"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">On substance, in response to your note, my understanding is that data inaccuracy isn’t the only reason the EPDP recommended deletion. There was also concern that
lack of response from registrant could put registrars in a position of having data that they can’t confirm they have consent or a purpose for, especially with older legacy registrations.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l5 level1 lfo1"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">The Council needs to close out this issue with the Board, and the current motion language will do that without requiring the GNSO Council to make substantive changes
to a recommendation that received consensus support from the EPDP Team and the Council.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">In my view, the BC’s proposed edits to the motion would substantively and materially change the original Recommendation 12 language. In light of the above, and specifically the fact that the EPDP
Team did not agree to make those substantive changes during our consultation, I believe we should retain the original motion language. I hope this context will help the BC support the current motion.

<span style="font-size:11.0pt">2. In relation to Recommendation 12, with respect to the option to delete data in the Organization field, the GNSO Council adopts the following Supplemental Recommendation reaffirming the part of the original Recommendation
#12 and the Implementation Advice which stated that: “b) If the registrant declines, or does not respond to the query, the Registrar may redact the Organization field,
<s>or delete the field contents</s>.” <s>(emphasis added) but hereby providing additional implementation guidance: similar to what was recommended in Recommendation 29 in the context of the deletion of administrative contact, prior to eliminating Organization
Contact fields, all Registrars MUST ensure that each registration contains Registered Name Holder contact information.</s></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">Rationale: the original wording would lead to deletion based not on data inaccuracy, but on registrants’ failure to respond. If the data
is inaccurate (reference</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black"> Section 4 of the WAPS,

should already seek to correct the inaccuracy. We could also agree that historical circumstances have resulted in different uses of that field, and therefore WHOIS inaccuracy complaints should not be based on inconsistencies or syntactical errors with Org

informed</span></a><span style="color:black"> the GNSO Council of the Board’s action in relation to the GNSO’s EPDP Phase 1 policy recommendations. The Board did not adopt two of the recommendations in full, where the Board has identified that portions of
those recommendations are not in the best interests of the ICANN Community or ICANN and is initiating the consultation process between the Board and the GNSO Council. This concerns recommendation #1, purpose 2 and recommendation #12, deletion of data in the
Organization field. As required under the ICANN Bylaws at Annex A-1,Section 6.b, a Board Statement is attached as Annex A to the letter, articulating the reasons for the Board’s non-adoption of these two items. As per the Bylaw requirements (Annex A-1, Section
6.c), “the Council shall review the Board Statement for discussion with the Board as soon as feasible after the Council's receipt of the Board Statement.” During the Council’s Extraordinary Meeting on 28 May 2019, it reviewed the Board Statement and conducted
a lengthy discussion on the best path forward.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

the event the EPDP Team does not meet the June deadline, any remaining resources allocated will be returned to conclude fiscal year 2020. Therefore, if the EPDP were to determine additional resources will be necessary to complete its work, the GNSO Council
