Janis & Team – While many issues overlap both Contracted Parties (Registries and Registrars), our work in Phase 1 uncovered several instances where our interests diverged, or the issues landed squarely on one side of the CPH (usually Registrars). Therefore,
I strongly encourage Volker’s inclusion on this group.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p>Hi Janis,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>it feels like an oversight, but it appears the RrSG is not represented in this group. To correct this oversight, I hereby volunteer.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Best regards,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Further to the discussion in our recent meeting, please find an outline of the approach to handling legal questions and the chair-appointed members of the Legal Advisory Group.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Those of you who participated in Phase 1 will remember we established a Legal Committee to review and revise proposed legal questions to ensure:
<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">(1) the questions are truly legal in nature, as opposed to policy or policy implementation questions;
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">(2) the questions are phrased in a neutral manner, avoiding both presumed outcomes as well as constituency positioning;
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">(3) the questions are both apposite and timely to the EPDP Team’s work; and<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">(4) the limited budget for external legal counsel is being used responsibly.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">In order to forward these goals, I proposed that I work together with a small team of chair-appointed legal experts to review legal questions as they come in. The membership of this team is not representative,
but expertise based. Members of the Legal Advisory Group are asked to provide advice based on their legal experience, factoring in all aspects of the conversation, not only that of their respective constituency. It is important to state that any output of
deliberations of the Legal Advisory Group will be shared with the EPDP Team for review and agreement.<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">At this time, I do not anticipate a weekly meeting schedule; the Legal Advisory Group will meet on an as-needed basis. The meetings will be open to anyone from the EPDP Team who would like to attend; however,
only the chair-appointed legal experts will be invited to speak.<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">I have also asked EPDP Support Staff to provide a recommendation for an initial categorization of the clarifying legal questions received. Specifically, Support Staff has reviewed the questions to determine:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

if the Phase 2 issue is a Priority 1 or a Priority 2 item. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
