Under the ICANN bylaws the community develops policy and the board reviews and approves community developed policies with an eye to the larger picture. As a board liaison to the EPDP, your job is to serve as an information channel between the team and the board and to advise the EPDP team about any issues and concerns the board has that the EPDP might not be taking into account. It is not to advocate for a particular position.

See Recommendation 3 of the final report, which has been approved by the Council. So we’d appreciate it if you get up to speed and adopt the approved and correct terminology.

There is no inherent tension between these two as long as the disclosure processes are consistent with data protection principles. That will be a difficult job, so let us work it out. All stakeholders and views are represented here; the EC can and does speak for itself. So we don’t need your attempt to push a tendentious interpretation of their views upon us.

Taking out selective snippets and trying to twist their words in ways that conform to the position you are pushing is not helping this process at all. It is also, as I said before, not an appropriate thing for a board member to be doing. Please stay in your lane, and let the multistakeholder process work.
