He explained that the understanding that the RySG should have escalated concerns formally could have happened had there been disagreement with the EPDP P2A Chair. However, given the Chair transferred the final decision on scope to the Council, there was no immediate need for the RySG to pursue a formal escalation. It was also mentioned that once the scope issue was raised within the EPDP P2A, the GNSO Council Liaison was expected to communicate this to the GNSO Council. On a substantive level, he added that rather than a decision by Council leadership, the RySG had expected the opportunity to further discuss the issue especially within the Council’s role as policy manager.<br class=""><br class=""> <br class="">REVISED<br class=""><b class="">Kurt Pritz, GNSO Registry Stakeholder Group (RySG)</b>, commented on the issue of scope in regard to Recommendation 1. He stated that the RySG, having raised the scope issue, accepted the Leadership determination that Recommendation 1 was within the EPDP Charter’s scope and was prepared to vote. He went on to state that the RySG did not find the points made in support of the determination in the Chair’s email to be persuasive and laid out the arguments to contest each point. He indicated that the more important point is that requests by any stakeholder group for a Council determination on an issue should be honored by having a Council discussion rather than an immediate determination and that such a discussion fits within the Council’s role as policy manager.</div><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Nov 2, 2021, at 7:16 PM, Terri Agnew via council <<a href="mailto:council@gnso.icann.org" class="">council@gnso.icann.org</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><meta charset="UTF-8" class=""><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1;
