Eberhard, On 12 July, we received a request from the GNSO to appoint two members and two alternates to the EPDP by 20 July. Members were expected to have knowledge of GDPR and commit to actively participate in the work of the EPDP, i.e. devote at least 4-6 hours weekly for at least 6 months. In addition, it is a requirement of the EPDP charter that members represent the formal position of their appointing organization, not individual views or positions. Taking all this into account, the ccNSO Council decided not to appoint members and alternates to the EPDP. However, we would like to encourage individual ccTLDs to share their experience and help the EPDP team to achieve their goals. Please note that the EPDP is open for observers (observers are subscribed to the mailing list and have the capacity to listen to call in real-time through an audiocast).
