<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">The Implementation Review Team has reviewed draft language for both of the aforementioned recommendations, and we are sharing it below for ease of reference. Please note, however, that this language is not yet
final as the Implementation Review Team has not performed its final review of the draft policy language. Additionally, this draft policy language (in its entirety) will be posted for public comment when complete, and we invite the EPDP Team to contribute to
the public comment proceeding when it opens.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">We also note that some EPDP Team members have asked how many registrars (if any) have already implemented a similar requirement, despite the fact that Phase 1 recommendations have not yet been implemented. The
Implementation Project Team is not in a position to answer this question, as this question is more appropriately directed to registrars.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
