<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-US">During recent meetings the EPDP Team has
been examining public comments received on its Initial Report. Recommendations
in the Initial Report are based on certain assumptions. For instance, the EPDP
Team has been working under the assumption that ICANN Org (or its designee)
would be the Accreditation Authority, and, accordingly, would be responsible
for enforcing accredited SSAD users’ compliance with the Accreditation Policy,
Acceptable Use Policy, etc. In addition, it is assumed that ICANN Org would
perform the Central Gateway function.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-US">Today’s discussion revealed that the Team’s
assumptions may not be entirely correct. It was suggested that ICANN Org may
have concerns regarding, for example, how this enforcement responsibility fits
within its Mission and Bylaws as it is not yet clear how the contractual
relationships would be structured between the Central Gateway Manager and
accredited users, noting ICANN Org enforcement currently only occurs between ICANN
Org and Contracted Parties where a direct contractual relationship exists.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-US">It was also suggested that communication
with ICANN Org would be useful to confirm all assumptions the Final report will
be based on. In light of this, could ICANN Org please provide clarifications on
the following questions: </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-US">If SSAD becomes an adopted consensus policy,
would ICANN Org will perform the Accreditation Authority function?</span></p>
