Seeking guidance for EPDP
by Rafik Dammak March 6, 2020

March 6, 2020

Hi all, I am sending a request from EPDP team chair asking guidance from GNSO council regarding WHOIS accuracy. There was disagreement within the EPDP team if the topic is within scope or not. So we would like to get from council guidance regarding its expectations on WHOIS accuracy issue in phase 2 and if the EPDP team is expected to deliberate on it or not asap, taking into account the GNSO council and ICANN org ongoing correspondence <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/marby-to-drazek-05dec1…> on the matter. The EPDP team chair asked that GNSO council can provide guidance by Friday 13th march so that the EPDP team will have time to receive further guidance from the external legal council (if applicable). The time constraint can be also explained that EPDP team is currently deliberating priority 2 topics during the initial report public comment period. Best Regards, Rafik

The Council also acknowledged that due to full agendas and time constraints, a thorough review of the project list during Council meetings in the past was often not feasible . With a pipeline full of additional new work and an already brimming current set of projects, ensuring that current work is as well positioned as possible to succeed, but also recognizing areas of concerns, are important areas of focus for the GNSO Council. Here, the Council will conduct a thorough and detailed review of the Projects List. This item was deferred from the February 2020 GNSO Council meeting. 4.1 – Introduction of topic (Council leadership) 4.2 – Council discussion 4.3 – Next steps Item 5: COUNCIL DISCUSSION – GNSO Work Prioritization - 2020 Work Plan (30 minutes) Continuing the theme from item 4 of this agenda, the GNSO Council acknowledged that there are limited resources available for policy development activities and related work. This resource limitation means that the GNSO Council must efficiently complete its current work as noted in item 4, but also prioritize the new work waiting in its pipeline. At the Strategic Planning Session, Councilors participated in an informal and non-binding ranking survey, which was used as a “sense of the room.” This informational survey result was shared with Councilors to then share with their respective Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies, to gain a better sense of the various groups’ top priorities. The Council touched on this topic briefly during the February Council meeting but will devote a larger block of time during its March meeting. Here, the Council will continue its discussions on which new work should be prioritized for initiation, when capacity within the community becomes available. 5.1 – Introduction of topic (Council leadership) 5.2 – Council discussion 5.3 – Next steps Item 6: ANY OTHER BUSINESS (0 minutes) * None _______________________________ Appendix 1: GNSO Council Voting Thresholds (ICANN Bylaws, Article 11, Section 11.3(i)) See https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article11.
