<span lang="EN-US">Leadership team is aware of the dependency of this work on the next round and will keep in contact with Karen’s team as they develop timelines for next rounds. There are still some unknowns on the next rounds timeline and we will do our best
to make sure that the EPDP is not getting in the way of that work.</span><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l6 level1 lfo13">
<span lang="EN-US">Comment: It would be helpful for Edmon to go back to the Board and get feedback on the dependency between this work and next rounds. The EPDP should try to beat this timeline. We should try to be more aggressive, especially in phase 2. If
we set conservative timelines, we will meet and not beat them. The first phase work without the second phase work may not be sufficient for subsequent rounds planning.</span><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l6 level1 lfo13">
<span lang="EN-US">Edmon will take this issue back to the Board and seek to provide feedback.</span><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l6 level1 lfo13">
<span lang="EN-US">Comment: If there is an opportunity for F2F time, we should explore that.</span><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l6 level1 lfo13">
<span lang="EN-US">Comment: Agreement that the timeline is conservative and we can aim to beat it, but it is useful to lay out for the community that there are difficult issues that need to be hashed out. IDNs could possibly go ahead in subsequent rounds without
variants.</span><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l6 level1 lfo13">
<span lang="EN-US">Question: Is there anything in Phase 2 that would impact next round?</span><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l6 level1 lfo13">
<span lang="EN-US">Response: In conversations with Karen’s team and at the leadership level, even though the second level topics wouldn’t kick in until after delegation, the details of some elements may need to be incorporated into the AGB and the application
process itself. The implementation of SubPro is a considerable amount of work. There are many moving parts.

<span lang="EN-US">Looking at the two approaches, the one phase approach only saves two months of time.

<span lang="EN-US">Outstanding question – we don’t know how long it will take TechOps to do its work prior to phase 2. There will be conversations about this in the CP Summit the first week of November. Hopefully we can get a better sense of this following
the Summit and that input can feed into thinking about Phase 2 timeline. We might be able to have a small group working on Phase 2 charter questions at the same time as we are finalizing the phase 1 report.</span><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l6 level1 lfo13">

<span lang="EN-US">Comment: from RySG perspective, we are coming closer to middle ground. We are moving away from expectations that registries manage consistent user experience, which is good. Regarding usability goals and user experience, it’s true that the
charter calls these out without defining them. It’s important to look at how those terms are used in the charter in context. Regarding usability goals, the biggest usability goal is to have a management framework to allow those labels into the root zone. In
terms of good user experience, the context in the charter is focused on how IDN tables are set up and provide consistency in terms of the results they produce. However, they do not need to behave the same with respect to the disposition values. If refer back
to the context of how those terms are being used, the language may be acceptable.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l6 level1 lfo13">
<span lang="EN-US">On the proposed IG, comment from the RySG perspective: It should be the process and requirements that should set up for a consistent and predictable process, not the submission by the applicant. Every step of the evaluation process needs
to be meaningful and we would expect that the necessary expertise is being leveraged. Why would we need to emphasize those aspects of the evaluation process? We expect them to happen regardless.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l6 level1 lfo13">
<span lang="EN-US">ALAC response: This is the first time we are doing this evaluation element, so we think it should be called out.

<span lang="EN-US">Perhaps what is more important is that evaluation of IDN applications should be consistent. There isn’t a way to ensure that what the applicants provide is consistent unless there is a technical format that needs to be followed. That is not
something that is possible. From one perspective the proposed IG needs re-consideration.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>

<span lang="EN-US">RySG raised additional considerations: string similarity process should not rely solely on the RZ-LGR for visually confusable labels, but may be used as an input; careful consideration should be given to implementation to achieve consistency

For example, if there is a Brand that has a name which happens to be a non-allocatable variant of another string that has been delegated, then we believe that new Brand should be able to overcome any potential string similarity review of string confusion objection.

<span lang="EN-US">Comment: the hybrid model doesn’t create the situation in the case of objections. It’s the implementation of the RZ-LGR that makes this the case.

<span lang="EN-US">When we talked about the hybrid model, we talked about the ability to appeal (object), which may allow for this exception process.

<span lang="EN-US">Next step: Throughout the discussion about the hybrid model and the different alternatives, the ability to implement has been on our minds. Now that we see that there is some support for the hybrid model with conditions, the Team will see
what feedback ICANN org comes back with from an implementation perspective and then pick up on this conversation again.
