[Gnso-epdp-team] Review of input received on recommendations & Proposed Agenda for EPDP Team meeting #63 (Thursday 11 June)

[Marika Konings]

Dear EPDP Team,

First of all, thank you all for your careful review and constructive input on the Final Report recommendations. The Staff Support Team has gone through all your input and, in consultation with leadership, created a review template for each recommendation in which we have documented how it is proposed that your input is dealt with (see https://community.icann.org/x/K4LsBw).

In many cases, it has been proposed that changes are applied where these do not appear to result in substantive changes, but instead add further clarity and specificity to the recommendations. In a number of cases, further guidance is needed from the EPDP Team to determine if / what changes need to be made, and in a limited number of cases it is suggested that no change is warranted because either the concern has already been addressed elsewhere or it concers an issue which was extensively discussed and where no new information has been provided that is likely to change the views of others. In certain cases we made assumptions based on the EPDP Team’s deliberations to respond to clarifying questions. Of course, there may be instances where we got this wrong and as a result, the ask is for each group to review the templates and indicate in the table at the top, the proposed actions / responses that have resulted in a ‘cannot live’ with item for your respective group. As you identify these, we do ask you to provide specific suggestions for alternative language that would address your concern (as well as the original concern raised). Note, there are also a couple of items where we have asked groups to provide some further detail in relation to their concern / proposed change to determine how to best address it.

You are strongly encouraged to review the input review templates together with the draft Final Report<https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/132940331/EPDP%20Phase%202%20-%20%20Final%20Report%20-%2010%20June%202020.docx?version=1&modificationDate=1591774475947&api=v2> in which we have applied the proposed changes in redline format so that it is easier to see changes in context. Do note that there is a significant amount of redline, but this is also partly the result of moving things around and removing duplication.

The deadline for flagging items that need further discussion (in addition to those already flagged) is Monday 15 June.

During the next EPDP Team meeting (Thursday 11 June – see agenda below), we plan to go into a little bit more detail and answer any questions you may have.

Best regards,

Caitlin, Berry and Marika
