<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">The EPDP Team’s charter includes 48 questions under seven broader topics, ranging from the “same entity” requirement at the top and second levels, to adjustments to ICANN policies
and procedures as they relate to IDNs. The EPDP Team has been conducting its deliberations by building on the existing body of policy work, research, and analysis on the IDNs, specifically the Outputs produced by the GNSO New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP.<o:p></o:p></p>

project change request</a> from the EPDP Team. Within its Project Change Request, the EPDP Team noted it plans to complete its work in two phases; Phase 1 focuses on topics related to top-level IDN gTLD definition and variant management, and Phase 2 focuses
on topics related to second level IDN variant management. The EPDP Team believes that this two-phased approach will help prioritize the current implementation planning for the PDP Outputs that are focused primarily on the top level.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">During its informal session at ICANN76 and the subsequent Council meeting, the Council
<a href="https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2023/minutes/minutes-gnso-council-15mar23-en.pdf">
discussed and agreed</a> to task a small team of interested councilors to review the recommendations that the Board placed in a pending status and suggest to the full Council how the underlying concerns that caused the pending status can be best addressed (i.e.,
a limited triage exercise).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Since ICANN76, the Council SubPro Small Team has met several times and has completed a comprehensive review of the issues chart, with Board member input on why the Board placed
specific recommendations into a pending status. The Council discussed the main output of that triage effort, the proposed paths forward for each pending recommendation, during an Extraordinary Meeting on 4 May. During that meeting, the Council agreed to further
task the small team with taking interim steps (e.g., provision of clarifying information, developing speaking points) in order to support the Council’s dialogue with the ICANN Board on
<a href="https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=240617931">22 May</a>. The Council debriefed after the dialogue with the ICANN Board and discussed next steps. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">During the ICANN77 Day 0 Session, the Council heard from the members of the Board regarding the Board’s views on potential “landing spots” on the pending recommendations. For the
pending recommendations, the Council finalized its second Clarifying Statement (recommendations in relation to the enforceability of PICs/RVCs) and adopted it via an email vote. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">As the triage exercise is now complete, the Council adopted the Small Team’s

updated assignment form</a> with a <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IhxKi0dvkS-a3ot7w8YG0iFxw4LiZuLz/edit">
work plan</a> to address the recommendations not adopted by the Board. Following that plan, the Small Team initiated first steps (i.e., developed background materials, preliminary Supplemental Recommendation language, and issued a call for volunteers for the
Small Team Plus). The Small Team Plus has begun developing Supplemental Recommendation language, beginning with Recommendation 17.2, Applicant Support, according to the above-mentioned work plan. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Here, the Council will receive an update on the work of the Small Team Plus.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">On 18 May 2019, the ICANN Board adopted the
<a href="https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/gtld-registration-data-specs-en/#temp-spec">
Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data</a> to enable contracted parties to continue to comply with existing ICANN contractual requirements and community-developed policies as they relate to registration directory services. The GNSO Council initiated
a one-year policy development process to confirm whether or not the Temporary Specification should become a consensus policy, and whether it provided an enduring framework for complying with the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">The EPDP Team sent its Phase 1
<a href="https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/epdp-gtld-registration-data-specs-final-20feb19-en.pdf">
Final Report</a> to the GNSO Council on 20 February 2019, and the GNSO Council voted to approve the Final Report on 4 March 2019. The Board subsequently adopted the Phase 1 Final Report on 15 May 2019, with the exception of Recommendation 1, Purpose 2, and
Recommendation 12, which the Board did not adopt in full. The Board directed the ICANN President and CEO or their designee(s) to implement the policy recommendations. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">ICANN org convened an Implementation Review Team, which began meeting in May 2019. ICANN org published the draft Registration Data Policy for
<a href="https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/registration-data-consensus-policy-for-gtlds-24-08-2022">
public comment</a> on 24 August 2022. Several commenters expressed dissatisfaction with the implementation of Recommendation 18, specifically around the issue of the response timeline for urgent requests. The relevant portion of Recommendation 18 reads, “A
separate timeline of [less than X business days] will considered for the response to ‘Urgent’ Reasonable Disclosure Requests, those Requests for which evidence is supplied to show an immediate need for disclosure [time frame to be finalized and criteria set
for Urgent requests during implementation].”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Following the public comment period and subsequent discussion by the Implementation Review Team, the Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) wrote to the Board about the topic of
urgent requests on <a href="https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/caballero-to-sinha-23aug23-en.pdf">
23 August 2023</a>. The Registrar Stakeholder Group wrote to the Board on <a href="https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/heineman-to-sinha-08sep23-en.pdf">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">The GNSO Council held its annual Strategic Planning Session (SPS) in Washington, D.C. from 29 November - 1 December 2023. Over the course of the three days, the Council identified
a number of key outcomes and associated action items. From the previous SPS, the Council built in more review and checkpoint mechanisms to ensure that there was proper follow through in executing the identified action items. This was determined to be a good
practice and, accordingly, is included as a Council discussion item shortly following the SPS to ensure continued progress. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Here, the Council will review the key outcomes and action items identified during the SPS, as well as discuss a more detailed action plan to ensure progress.<o:p></o:p></p>
