time to wrap up. If we entertain any more than that then I think we are opening a veritable can of worms.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">We’ve discussed some of the issues around reaching “consensus” on certain points within this WG several times in the last few months.
</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><br>
Some of the topics where there is a divergence of opinion are the very same topics that some of us have been debating (or arguing) about for many many years. In reality I personally do not think that adding time to the WG’s timeline will result in any significant
changes of what are entrenched views.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Now of course I could be mistaken and this is, for now, just my personal view.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Hi all,</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Please find attached a Project Change Request (PCR) for the EPDP Phase 2 Final Report. As communicated in prior project list updates, the EPDP was in jeopardy of missing its 11 June 2020 delivery date. The EPDP Leadership
team is now targeting mid-July for delivery of the report. However, within the PCR you will see a request to extend until the 31<sup>st</sup> of July to act as a buffer for the EPDP to conclude its deliberations and seek consensus. This extra time is to mitigate
the need for an additional PCR as current conditions on certain policy topics have yet to yield high confidence in consensus of the overall Final Report. Also attached is an updated EPDP-P2 Project Package for 11 June to reflect the change in Status/Health
of the project. An update of the EPDP is expected to be a part of the GNSO Council’s agenda for the June meeting.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">As a side note and more in reference to PDP 3.0, I’m also including a compilation of all the EPDP Project SitRep reports as communicated via the Council’s Project list and the monthly EPDP Project Packages. This is unrelated
to the PCR, but it is interesting to see how this project executed over time, achieved its milestones, and the change of Status/Health codes.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I am happy to take questions back to the EPDP Leadership team should you have any prior to our next Council meeting.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Thank you.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
