<p class="MsoNormal">Hello everyone, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As you may recall, in March 2023, the GNSO Council approved a process and questionnaire for Working Groups to conduct periodic Self-Assessments during their lifecycle. These periodic surveys are intended to supplement Self-Assessments that
already occur when a Working Group closes. The goal is to provide the GNSO Council with important information about how its Working Groups are functioning and whether there are any issues that may need to be addressed as the Working Group proceeds.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">After the EPDP-IDNs Team delivered its Phase 1 Initial Report for public comment, this Self-Assessment survey was conducted as an opportunity for the Team to reflect on how it is functioning and whether there are areas that may benefit
from improvement. The survey was closed on 3 July 2023. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please find attached the report summarizing the aggregated responses to all the survey questions. This report was shared with the GNSO Council leadership and the EPDP-IDNs Team on 12 July and posted on the EPDP public wiki. For transparency
and accountability purposes, this report is now shared with the full GNSO Council upon the leadership request.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please be so kind to review and share any questions or concerns you may have. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you,<o:p></o:p></p>
