[Gnso-epdp-team] Proposal: Timetable to address Priority 2 issues

[Janis Karklins]

Dear EPDP Team,



The leadership team has worked together with the staff support team to
outline the proposed next steps for both addressing priority 2 items and
the subsequent review of input received on the SSAD Initial Report. When
reviewing the attached timetable, which outlines the proposal in detail,
please keep in mind the following:



·         The window of opportunity to allow folding in of priority 2 items
into the SSAD Final Report is short – preliminary recommendations would
need to be published for public comment by 24 March at the latest. If the
EPDP Team does not reach agreement by that date on how to address priority
2 items, these items will be referred back to the GNSO Council for its
consideration on how to proceed. Note that due to external dependencies,
certain items, such as legal / natural, will automatically be referred to
the GNSO Council.



·         The legal committee plays a key role in preparing the ground for
a number of priority 2 items – please remember that the legal committee is
a representative body. As such, members of the legal committee must consult
with and keep their fellow team members up to date so that when the legal
committee sends its recommendations to the plenary team, discussions are
not rehashed, and recommendations/proposed questions do not come as a
surprise.



·         The priority remains to finalize the SSAD Final Report by 11 June
2020 at the latest: as a reminder, both the funding that was made available
for phase 2 and my availability to chair the Team will end on 30 June.



·         Depending on the number of comments received, there may be a need
to plan for an intense EPDP Team call week – this is foreseen for the week
of 11-15 May. Please already pencil this into your agendas – it would
likely take the form of extended calls taking place (almost) every day of
the week.



Certainly the timetable may need to be adjusted as the EPDP Team progresses
through its work; as such, we expect everyone to remain flexible. In order
to make progress on priority 2 items, it is imperative that everyone
reviews the relevant worksheets in advance of the meeting to appreciate the
context and come prepared to find solutions to the issues identified.



You are encouraged to provide your group’s feedback on the proposed
timetable by Tuesday 18 February at the latest.



Thank you

JK
