Public comment on EPDP Phase 2a Recommendations
by Alan Greenberg Jan. 18, 2022

Jan. 18, 2022

There is an open comment on the EPDP Phase 2a recommendations that closes today. We had decided that an ALAC statement was not necessary because we had already said what needed to be said. After consulting with other groups, I thought that it was advisable to have something on the record in the comments SAYING that the Board needs to factor in our comments, and those of the like-minded groups (GAC, SSAC, BC, IPC). On the CPWG call yesterday, the recommendation was for Hadia and me to submit a very brief statement, as the ALAC appointed members to the EPDP, and on behalf of the ALAC saying that the Board should factor in our comments in our Minority statement, as well as those of the GAC, SSAC, BC and IPC. Maureen agreed to this path forward. Accordingly, I have submitted the following comment: >This statement is being submitted by the ALAC-appointed members of >the Phase 2a EPDP team (Alan Greenberg, Hadia El Miniawi) on behalf >of the ALAC Chair Maureen Hilyard and the ALAC. > >The EPDP Phase 2a was triggered based on the dissatisfaction of the >ALAC and several other groups with the EPDP Phase 1 and 2 not having >addressed two critical issues. > >Our Minority statement submitted within the Phase 2a report captures >the ALAC position on the Phase 2a outcomes, and we request that the >Board take that statement into account as it deliberates on its >action regarding the Phase 2a outcomes. We also call the Board's >attention to the GAC Minority Statement which the ALAC formally >supported, as well as the statements of the SSAC, the GNSO Business >Constituency and the GNSO Intellectual Property Constituency, all of >which espouse views similar to those of the ALAC. > >We also wish to point out that these so-called "minority" statements >represent 11 of the 24 EPDP Members and 5 of the 9 groups >represented on the EPDP.

Minor changes to EPDP Board replies
by Alan Greenberg Jan. 11, 2022

Jan. 11, 2022

Holly identified two problems with the Replies currently before the ALAC. 1. In the first paragraph of the reply to Question 1, the word "proscriptive" was used instead of "prescriptive". I have corrected this error. 2. In the 2nd sentence of the reply to Question 3, Holly commented that the meaning of the sentence was not clear. I have simplified it changing "Ultimately the adopted Directive will need to factor in the input the various EU bodies are receiving as well as being the result of negotiations between the EU Parliament and Council." to "The Directive eventually adopted by the EU will need to factor comments received as well as being the result of negotiations between the EU Parliament and Council." Neither of these changes alters the intent and meaning of the responses and I suggest that they be incorporated. Alan

Replies to Board questions on the ALAC EPDP Phase 2 Advice
by Alan Greenberg Jan. 6, 2022

Jan. 6, 2022

As you know, the ALAC provided advice to the Board on the RDDS EPDP Phase 2 (SSAD) Recommendations, and the Board came back with several questions. Replies have been drafted by Hadia and I, and reviewed at several CPWG meetings. There were very few comments, and all have been addressed. There were NO negative comments. The final version is attached for ALAC approval. I note that there will be a Board-GNSO Council consultation on the SSAD later in January, so the sooner we can get our replies to the Board, the better. I leave it to Maureen to schedule a Consensus Call or vote.
