<p>I would just like to echo the thanks to staff expressed so
eloquently by Laureen and Rafik. For those of us who have been on
the EPDP, its precursor the RDS PDP, the IAG on conflicts with
law, the RDS II Review, and even the EWG, we see the same policy
staff working for years on this difficult issue (special shout out
to Lisa Phifer who got to retire before getting roped into EPDP).
We really appreciate your patience in dealing with the same issues
and the same arguments over and over again. The methodology used
in finally getting this thing corralled represents a mountain of
work on your part. I know I for one complained about it but
without it we would still be wandering in the desert. <br>
</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Stephanie Perrin<br>

thanks to everyone for their hard work; flexibility, and
(mostly ;-) good humor throughout this process. With
special appreciation to our outstanding ICANN staff whose
tireless work helped us stay organized and on task. I know
we only are aware of a fraction of their efforts so I wanted
to highlight how fortunate we are to work with such
dedicated professionals.

<p class="MsoNormal">The deadline to review the revised
consensus designation already passed and I don't see any
strong objection in the list to what I shared initially or
to the revised table I sent several hours ago. I want to
emphasize that I did that assessment based on direct input
from the groups and with my understanding of GNSO WG
guidelines.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I attached the final report which
includes the consensus designation and all minority
statements received till now. I will send in the coming
hours the report to the council and I will add details in
my communication about deadline extension for the minority
statement as requested. For those who want to add their
minority statements, the deadline is the 24th August and
the report will be revised regularly to attach them and
note sent to indicate the revision.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I want to thank you all for the work
done and deliberations in the 2 years between phase 1 and
phase 2, during the too many and long conference calls or
F2F meetings or small teams and legal committee (Berry got
the correct numbers about the hours spent!). I would like
to thank the support staff for their tireless help and
work, making this process smooth as much as possible. I
want also to thank Janis as he chaired most of the phase 2
and facilitated the process.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I know that all of you made sacrifice
in term of time and efforts and it is important to reach
closure. The outcome of consensus oriented process is not
always perfect but it has that important element that
everyone participated in shaping it. <o:p></o:p></p>
