[Gnso-epdp-team] Chair Update - Initial Report

[Margie Milam]

Hi Keith-

We’d like to raise a point of order regarding the feedback, since our understanding was that these issues were open until June 3rd per Barry’s chart, and that there would be a call on Thursday to discuss.   As a result, several of us submitted comments this morning.

In light of this, we kindly request that leadership review our feedback substantively.

Thanks very much,

Margie Milam, on behalf of the BC

Dear EPDP 2A Team,



We are currently in the final stages of publishing the Initial Report, and I wanted to provide you with a quick status update.


1. We currently plan to cancel tomorrow’s meeting. As noted below, Leadership has endeavored to resolve all outstanding issues that were discussed during yesterday’s meeting. We will, however, wait to confirm this cancellation until COB today in the event there is a last-minute need to convene the group.

2. The deadline for final feedback on questions or the three open items identified on the call was COB yesterday.

3. Leadership and Support Staff are currently reviewing the proposed updates and are planning to send the final version of the Initial Report to the EPDP Team and to the ICANN org publication team by the COB today.

4. As noted during yesterday’s call, where there is disagreement, Leadership made an executive decision in an effort to get the report to a final state. In making a final decision, we endeavored to consider all viewpoints and proposed compromise text in recognition of outstanding disagreements.

5. Feedback received after the deadline was reviewed by Leadership and Support Staff. In instances where the feedback proposed a minor edit, we accepted it; however, where feedback would result in a substantial change to existing text, we did not accept this. We welcome you to provide these types of comments during the public comment period.

6. Thank you to those who worked together to resolve issues over the list; these edits have been included in the updated Initial Report.

7. We recognize that there are still some outstanding issues that EPDP members may be unhappy with, but we welcome further input during the public comment period.



Thank you for your hard work to get us to this point.



Best regards,

Keith
