[Gnso-epdp-idn-team] [EPDP-IDNs P2] Draft Initial Report - Request for Review

[Hickson, Nigel (DSIT)]

Donna and colleagues

Good evening and many apologies for this very late response.  The Initial Report is a substantial piece of work and a tribute to your work and guidance, and of course the brilliant ICANN team.

Think Michael has made some valuable points below, though have not had time to go through all of them.  Think would be good to move forward and seek comments from Community.

Best

Nigel

Thank you Michael, and yes some slight palpitations as I read your message.

I look forward to comments from others, but I think we can accommodate most of your suggestions.

If registrars were left out on purpose, e.g., because most of the work has been done by registries, then I'm also fine with leaving it the way it is. But if it simply was on oversight, we should probably add registrars in some way, too.
