this letter is sent by the end of this week in advance of the ICANN Board – GNSO Council joint meeting at ICANN73 during which this topic is expected to be discussed further.

to the questions outlined in the assignment by the end of March. This will hopefully allow the Council to consider this input and agree on the next steps during its April meeting, or if additional time is needed, the May Council meeting at the latest. Note
that you’ll have a further opportunity to discuss the timeline and proposed next steps during the upcoming Council meeting at ICANN73.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Thank you to those who were able to provide initial input by the deadline and thank you to those who are still working on it. I appreciate that there is a lot of information to digest and consultations to undertake with
your respective groups. As was previously indicated, this input is not expected to be the final determination by the small team, but the idea was that it would provide some initial indications of the common as well as different views that would allow the GNSO
Council to provide the ICANN Board with a high-level update during its joint session at ICANN73.

proposing the following to the GNSO Council with regards to next steps and timeline:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Note that I do not anticipate that the work of the small team will end by 31 March. As also noted previously, regardless of the path that is ultimately chosen, whether the Board makes a determination next on whether or
not to adopt all or part of the recommendations or whether the Council decides to undertake further work on the recommendations, there is a likely role for the Council to take a further look at the recommendations themselves. I anticipate that the Council
will continue to lean on the expertise of this small team to assist with such an effort. I am of the view that such further consideration would benefit from informal interaction with interested Board members. This has proven to be very beneficial in instances
where the ICANN Board has expressed concerns as recent experience in the context of the EPDP Phase 1 recommendation 12 demonstrated. Of course, we are already benefiting from the participation of Becky in the small team, as the Board liaison to the EPDP Phase
2, but maybe informal interaction could be considered between the small team and the Board GDPR Caucus to better help inform further consideration of potential changes / modifications. Before sharing this suggestion with the Council, I would appreciate hearing
your feedback on this idea. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
