[Gnso-epdp-team] IPC/BC/RySG and others: requesting an extension on can't live with items

[Rafik Dammak]

Dear EPDP members,

Honestly, I’m quite disappointed by this last minute request for an
extension. All proposed recommendations have been extensively deliberated
and this is not the time for substantial changes. That said, I will honor
an extension by one week. Here is the updated timeline confirmed with staff:

• 6 - 17 July: silent week(s) – opportunity for EPDP Team to review draft
Final Report and flag any minor edits (no reopening of previously discussed
& addressed issues).
• 21 July: several hours EPDP Team meeting(s) to address any issues that
may require EPDP Team input / guidance.
• 23 July: distribution of Final Report and consensus designations. As a
reminder, the Chair will make an evaluation of the support achieved for the
recommendations and publish its designation for the group to review.
• 23 - 27 July: opportunity for EPDP Team to respond to consensus
designations, review by Chair of input received, if any, confirmation by
Chair of designation.
• 27 July: deadline for minority statements.
• 31 July: No later than date for submission of Final Report to the GNSO
Council

With this schedule change, there is no more slack and regardless of
outcomes, I will send the report at its latest state with or without
support of the EPDP. We MUST deliver the report by 31 July as there is no
chance of support for an additional extension as indicated by the council
at its last meeting.

I urge the groups to work together in the background to seek agreement on
the critical recommendations that constitute this SSAD solution.

The time is now!

Sincerely,

Rafik.
