*Adoption of the Expedited Policy Development Process (EPDP) on the
Temporary Specification Final Report and Recommendations*

Submitted by Rafik Dammak

Seconded by Keith Drazek



WHEREAS

1. On 17 May 2018, the ICANN Board adopted the Temporary Specification
for gTLD Registration Data pursuant to the procedures in the Registry
Agreement and Registrar Accreditation Agreement concerning the
establishment of temporary policies.

2. Following the adoption of the Temporary Specification, and per the
procedure for Temporary Policies as outlined in the Registry Agreement
and Registrar Accreditation Agreement, a Consensus Policy development
process as set forth in ICANN's Bylaws needs to be initiated
immediately and completed within a one-year time period from the
implementation effective date (25 May 2018) of the Temporary
Specification.

3. The GNSO Council has had a number of discussions about next steps
to clarify issues around scope, timing and expectations, including a
meeting between the GNSO Stakeholder Group and Constituency Chairs on
21 May 2018 , the Council meeting on 24 May 2018, a meeting between
the ICANN Board and the GNSO Council on 5 June 2018 and an
extraordinary GNSO Council meeting on 12 June 2018.

4. Subsequently, the GNSO Council agreed to form a drafting team,
consisting of Council leadership and interested Council members, to
develop the EPDP Initiation Request and EPDP Team Charter. The
drafting team submitted the proposed EPDP Initiation Request and EPDP
Team Charter to the GNSO Council on 19 July 2018.

5. The GNSO Council approved the EPDP Initiation Request [
https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/temp-spec-gtld-rd-epdp-initiation-request-19jul18-en.pdf
) and the EPDP Team Charter (
https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/temp-spec-gtld-rd-epdp-19jul18-en.pdf
) on 19 July 2018;

6. The EPDP Team was formed and held its first meeting on 1 August
2018, followed by the publication of the Charter-required “Triage”
Report on 15 September 2018, and its Initial Report on 21 November;

7.In its deliberations, the EPDP Team developed a recommendation for
the transition between the lapse of the Temporary Specification and
the completion of implementation work on the Policy Recommendations
now submitted for approval.

8. Due to the unique circumstances concerning the deadline for
implementation, and in order to minimize the transition period, the
EPDP Leadership and Team informally recommends that discussion around
implementation deliverables be initiated immediately. This preliminary
work will inform the deliberations of the formal Implementation
Recommendation Team upon Board approval of the Policy Recommendations.

 9. The EPDP has followed the prescribed EPDP steps as stated in the
Bylaws, including the publication of an Initial Report on 21 November
(see
https://www.icann.org/public-comments/epdp-gtld-registration-data-specs-initial-2018-11-21-en
) and resulting in a Final Report delivered on 20 February 2019;

10.The EPDP Team has reached full consensus / consensus on the
recommendations contained in the Final Report, apart from two
recommendations (#2 and #16);

11. The GNSO Council has reviewed and discussed these recommendations.

RESOLVED

1. The GNSO Council recommends to the ICANN Board of Directors the
adoption of EPDP on the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration
Data policy recommendations as detailed in section 5 of the Final
Report (
https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/epdp-gtld-registration-data-specs-final-20feb19-en.pdf
);

2. Noting the unique circumstances and external deadlines associated
with the Temporary Specification and the work of this EPDP, the GNSO
Council supports the EPDP Team’s recommendation to informally convene
the Implementation Review Team now to allow additional time for the
necessary planning to take place before ICANN Board consideration of
this Final Report. The IRT would be formally convened upon Board
approval. As such, the GNSO Council directs ICANN Org to informally
convene the Implementation Review team as soon as possible. The
Implementation Review Team will be tasked with assisting ICANN org in
developing the implementation details for the EPDP recommendations,
evaluating the proposed implementation of the recommendations as
approved by the Board, and working with ICANN staff to ensure that the
resultant implementation conforms to the intent of the approved
recommendations. The Implementation Review Team shall operate in
accordance with the Implementation Review Team Principles and Guidance
approved by the GNSO Council in June 2015.

3. The GNSO Council hereby indicates its non-objection, as required
per the EPDP Team Charter, for the EPDP Team to commence work on a
System for Standardized Access to Non-Public Registration Data as well
as other topics identified in Phase 2 of the Charter. The Council does
request that the EPDP Team, as a first step, develops its work plan
for phase 2 and, furthermore, identifies whether the GNSO Council
should consider any updates to the EPDP Team Charter to facilitate the
EPDP Team’s work

4. The GNSO Council extends its sincere appreciation to the chair,
vice-chair, members, alternates and support staff of the EPDP Team for
their tireless efforts to complete Phase 1 in the timeline available.
