<h3>Background on EPDP Phase 2A</h3>
<p>The two remaining topics that
are part of Phase 2A will be:</p>
<ul>
<li>Legal vs. natural persons</li>
<li>Feasibility of unique
contacts to have a uniform
anonymized email address</li>
</ul>
<p>Instructions for the EPDP
Team to address the issues of
Phase 2A:</p>
<ol>
<li>Legal vs. natural persons:
The EPDP Team is expected to
review <a
href="https://newsalerts.icann.org/v0080NeC0dPECgg2R022000"
target="_blank"
moz-do-not-send="true">the
study</a> undertaken by
ICANN org (as requested by
the EPDP Team and approved
by the GNSO Council during
Phase 1), the <a

target="_blank"
moz-do-not-send="true">legal
guidance</a> provided by
Bird & Bird LLP, as well
as the substantive input
provided on this topic
during <a
href="https://newsalerts.icann.org/V8Ri000de20E200CP02gEN0"
target="_blank"
moz-do-not-send="true">the
Public Comment forum on
the addendum</a>. The Team
will then answer:
<ol>
<li>Whether any updates
are required to the EPDP
Phase 1 recommendation
on this topic ("<a

<li>What guidance, if any,
can be provided to
registrars and/or
registries who
differentiate between
registrations of legal

</ol>
</li>
<li>In relation to the
feasibility of unique
contacts obtaining a uniform

the EPDP Team is expected to
review the <a
href="https://newsalerts.icann.org/eN08GE02000RCe0202kPg0d"
target="_blank"
moz-do-not-send="true">legal
guidance</a> and consider
specific proposals that
provide sufficient
safeguards to address issues
flagged in the legal memo.
Groups that requested
additional time to consider
this topic, which include
the At-Large Advisory
Committee (ALAC),
Governmental Advisory
Committee (GAC), and
Security and Stability
Advisory Committee (SSAC),
will be responsible to come
forward with concrete
proposals to address this
topic. This consideration is
expected to address:
<ol>
<li>Whether or not a
uniform anonymized email
address for unique
contacts is feasible
and, if feasible,
whether it should be a
requirement.</li>
<li>If feasible but not a
requirement, what
guidance, if any, can be
provided to contracted
parties who may want to
implement uniform
anonymized email
addresses.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
<p>For clarity, the GNSO Council
is not directing any
particular outcome on either
topic. As manager of the
policy development process
(PDP), it is sharing its
expectations for which
questions should be addressed
as part of the EPDP Team's
deliberations.</p>
<p>Consistent with the <a
href="https://newsalerts.icann.org/Y0d0e0lNg0028002PRC0HE2"
target="_blank"
moz-do-not-send="true">Policy
Development Process Manual</a>,
the GNSO Council does expect
that all the required steps
are followed in the
consideration of these issues.
These steps may include
further Public Comment on an
initial report as well as a
final report that would be
considered an addendum to the
EPDP Phase 2 Final Report.</p>

<h3>About the Generic Names
Supporting Organization (GNSO)</h3>
<p>As one of the three
Supporting Organizations in
the ICANN community, the GNSO
develops policies relating to
generic top-level domains
(gTLDs). Its membership
consists of representatives
advocating for the gTLD
registry, gTLD registrar,
noncommercial, not-for-profit,
business, intellectual
property, and Internet service
provider and connectivity
interests. The GNSO Council
manages the policy development
process relating to gTLDs.</p>
<h3>About ICANN</h3>
<p>ICANN's mission is to help
ensure a stable, secure, and
unified global Internet. To
reach another person on the
Internet, you need to type an
address – a name or a number –
into your computer or other
device. That address must be
unique so computers know where
to find each other. ICANN
helps coordinate and support
these unique identifiers
across the world. ICANN was
formed in 1998 as a
not-for-profit public benefit
corporation with a community
of participants from all over
the world.</p>
