<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">One key takeaway is that everyone has missed face-to-face interactions. The experience that the group has had has been challenged by the virtual nature of the work. The lack of hallway conversations
or informal conversations has impeded the group’s progress. </span><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;margin-left:.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Thank you for the engagement – there was a lot of candor in the discussions.</span><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;margin-left:.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Some of the big themes that emerged – all groups have open questions of other groups. There are a lot of areas where groups are speaking past each other. “I don’t understand why Group x says y.”
Leadership thought it would be worthwhile to engage with some of the open questions.
</span><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;margin-left:.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Another theme that emerged – there is a genuine desire amongst the groups to better understand other groups’ point of view.
</span><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;margin-left:.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Moving forward, Leadership is proposing information conversations. These informal conversations are designed to mimic hallway conversations, coffee chats, lobby bar-esque conversations.
</span><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;margin-left:.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Each individual would have two minutes to share their points of view and then share points of view of others around the table. After everyone has their chance to speak, representatives could then
clarify their positions and ask additional clarifying questions of others. </span>
<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;margin-left:.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The goal is to engage in dialogue and increase understanding and clarity.</span><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;margin-left:.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Leadership identified some narrowly focused questions to start the conversations and identified groups that may want to participate in these conversations.
</span><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;margin-left:.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Looking to set these conversations up for next week.

<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The Team is now down to the brass tacks of interpretation of data protection law on key issues. Do not think the Team will reach consensus on these issues that will inevitably end up in court.
Do not think there is a path to consensus.</span><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;margin-left:.25in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Encouraged by the potential for future mediation – it is important to give this a shot and see if the group can come together on some things.
</span><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;margin-left:.25in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The onus is on the groups who would like a change from the status quo – these groups should come forward to tell us how it’s possible and why we should accept</span><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;margin-left:.25in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">There were proposals, and these were abandoned and never went back to it
</span><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;margin-left:.25in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">There were proposals put forward early in the process, but it was evident that the group was not agreeing on any of these proposals. However, if there are groups that have proposals that they believe
will reach consensus, please bring them forward.</span><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;margin-left:.25in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Agree that there was not necessarily agreement on the proposals, but do not agree that there were not proposals</span><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;margin-left:.25in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">During the initial months, there was a fairly significant divide in the group regarding those proposals, so the group began talking about guidance.
</span><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;margin-left:.25in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">In terms of the movement toward consensus, believe the breakdown occurred around the SSAD. When stakeholder groups decided they hated the SSAD and began lobbying against it, it made it difficult
to agree on how to handle the other issues.</span><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;margin-left:.25in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Groups can discuss paths forward, but there remain severe doubts about gating questions. If the GNSO Council is to give clarity that some of these items are in scope, then it will provide comfort
to certain groups. </span><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;margin-left:.25in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">If groups feel like Council clarification is necessary. Leadership sees a distinction between a new consensus policy requirement vs. guidance where a CP could choose to differentiate.
</span><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;margin-left:.25in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">If there is requirement for a development of a new field so that CPs could optionally use it, there may need to be a distinction.</span><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;margin-left:.25in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Have never argued against the guidance – support the guidance – just want it to be practical. A hard recommendation is necessary for this data element, so need to look at the scope issue.</span><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;margin-left:.25in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">New standards should go through the IETF process. This may sound complicated and hard, but it is not and is what should be done.
</span><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;margin-left:.25in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">If there are specific scope questions, please provide them to the team in writing.
</span><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;margin-left:.25in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The next Council meeting is later today, and this topic is not on the Council’s agenda. Any scope discussions would to be submitted for the next Council meeting by 9 August (the documents and motion
deadline for August). </span><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;margin-left:.25in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">If the team provides a standardized data element that involves the criteria for that element – the criteria for deciding what goes in the element is giving legal advice. If this is sent to the
IETF (and this should be sent to the IETF), then those legal questions have to answered by the IETF.
</span><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:black;margin-left:.25in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">It is possible to subdivide this issue. The point about standardizing through the IETF – this is not a place for legal debate and issues. What is appropriate to go through the IETF is defining
the field and the appropriate values. Can the values be ported from one place to another and has different determinations by jurisdiction, this would have to be included in the field values. </span><o:p></o:p></li></ul>
