[Gnso-epdp-team] EPDP Kobe

[Ayden Férdeline]

During the GNSO Council's meeting in Los Angeles on 24 January, the Council took as an action item to better understand how the work of the EPDP team and the Technical Study Group relate. It was noted that the Technical Study Group may have concerns around how the policy recommendations we generate may impact its work, so we should both be informed of each other's scope, mandate, and activities. I hope such a briefing will be forthcoming.

Kind regards,
Ayden Férdeline
