[council] EPDP Phase 2 Project Change Request

Thu Jun 11 23:40:36 UTC 2020

hi all,

thanks for your comments.
The original delivery date was 11th June and that is literally yesterday.
We are following PDP 3.0 recommendations and sending PCR when we are
missing our timeline by a few weeks and keeping ourselves accountable. What
we are aiming for is to submit the final report to council early July and
we set 31st July as a buffer. As Tom pointed in his email,  this extension
is intended to close deliberations on the final report on SSAD or priority
1 and get it done.  Following the work plan, we already shared in the EPDP
list the draft Final Report and list of cannot live with items, reviewing
and resolving them for the next weeks (and we already added several calls
for that purpose).  For priority 2 issues, the items which cannot be
covered were identified in the framework proposal sent to council and up to
council to decide how to deal with them.With regard to budget, there are no
budget concerns as we do not foresee any additional costs to deliver the
final report.
On a more personal note I can also state that I cannot commit to work
beyond 31st July and there is no way I will ask for a longer extension.

Best,

Rafik

> Hi all,

>
>
> Please find attached a Project Change Request (PCR) for the EPDP Phase 2
> Final Report. As communicated in prior project list updates, the EPDP was
> in jeopardy of missing its 11 June 2020 delivery date. The EPDP Leadership
> team is now targeting mid-July for delivery of the report. However, within
> the PCR you will see a request to extend until the 31st of July to act as
> a buffer for the EPDP to conclude its deliberations and seek consensus.
> This extra time is to mitigate the need for an additional PCR as current
> conditions on certain policy topics have yet to yield high confidence in
> consensus of the overall Final Report. Also attached is an updated EPDP-P2
> Project Package for 11 June to reflect the change in Status/Health of the
> project. An update of the EPDP is expected to be a part of the GNSO
> Council’s agenda for the June meeting.
>
>
>
> As a side note and more in reference to PDP 3.0, I’m also including a
> compilation of all the EPDP Project SitRep reports as communicated via the
> Council’s Project list and the monthly EPDP Project Packages. This is
> unrelated to the PCR, but it is interesting to see how this project
> executed over time, achieved its milestones, and the change of
> Status/Health codes.
>
>
>
> I am happy to take questions back to the EPDP Leadership team should you
> have any prior to our next Council meeting.
