I'll suggest that we channel any questions raised on the Council list between now and the 24 May meeting through Paul as liaison. If questions relating to RPM PDP come up in the 21 May Q&A webinar, we will channel those back to you promptly after. The May Council agenda (draft to be posted soon) prioritises a bulk of the meeting time to GDPR/RDS next steps, and your information will help to inform that discussion.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody'>Best wishes,<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody'>Heather Forrest<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody'>On Tue, May 15, 2018 at 11:07 AM, Mary Wong <</span><a href="mailto:mary.wong@icann.org" target="_blank"><span style='mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody'>mary.wong@icann.org</span><span style='mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody'></span></a><span style='mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody'>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></span></p><blockquote style='border:none;border-left:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in'><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody'>Dear Councilors,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody'>Please find attached, for your review and discussion, a letter from the co-chairs of the Review of All Rights Protection Mechanisms (RPMs) Policy Development Process Working Group relating to the impact of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) on the provision of domain name dispute resolution services under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) and the Uniform Rapid Suspension procedure (URS).
