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.
