Queries regarding IDN EPDP
by 陳曼茹 Manju Chen 08 Aug '24

08 Aug '24

Hi Councilors, I'm sending this email on behalf of the IDN EPDP Leadership Team in my role as the Council liaison to the Team. Last month, the IDN EPDP team received a request from ICANN org (Sarmad Hussain from GDS) to stabilize the EPDP Phase 2 recommendations related to harmonized IDN tables, namely Preliminary Recommendation 6 and Implementation Guidance 7 in response to Charter Question C5. According to Sarmad, the stability of these recommendations is a prerequisite to ICANN org launching the RSP program in November this year. You can find the email here: https://lists.icann.org/hyperkitty/list/gnso-epdp-idn-team@icann.org/messag… [lists.icann.org] As a result of the request, the IDN EPDP Team agreed to prioritize our discussion of the nominated recommendations and the Leadership Team is confident that we can stabilize these to the satisfaction of the Team by the end of August. However, as the request suggests that implementation of these recommendations will occur before the IDN EPDP Team delivers its Phase 2 Final Report to the Council for consideration, the Leadership Team is concerned that this is procedurally unprecedented. Therefore, we believe it is appropriate to bring this matter to the attention of Council and seek the Council's guidance on the path forward. Best, Manju

Accuracy Vote on AST Recommendations 1 and 2
by Ashcraft, Damon 08 Aug '24

08 Aug '24

Dear Councillors: Susan and I had our IPC membership meeting yesterday and discussed the upcoming vote to formally state that Council does not intend to proceed with the AST recommendations #1 and #2. The IPC’s view is that this vote is premature, for the reasons below, and we’d like to defer this decision. * During the last Council meeting we discussed possible next steps on accuracy. While there were various views expressed, we did not reach a clear agreement on what next steps might be, except with respect to sending a letter to the GAC, and the discussion is to be continued on this week’s Council call. It is therefore proposed in this Motion that Council agrees not to proceed with the AST’s recommendations, but without Council yet having agreed what we might do instead, and we will actually be having that discussion immediately afterwards. It seems far preferable to have a proposed path forward first, before we hold such a vote. * One action that we did reach agreement on was to draft a letter to the GAC, explaining to them some of the challenges of pursuing further work on accuracy, including in particular the challenges identified in the Staff assessment, and clarifying that the Data Processing Specification between the contracted parties and ICANN is not the only hurdle. We don’t believe that that letter has yet been drafted and finalised. * During our meeting at ICANN80 with the GAC, some GAC members made their frustration at the lack of progress on accuracy very apparent and expressed the view that they expect Council to come back to them at ICANN81 having made concrete progress. Irrespective of views on the merits of that frustration, which may differ, it is clear that this issue is firmly on the GAC’s radar and that some GAC members are losing patience. * We are concerned that the proposed vote by Council, unaccompanied by any clarity on what the Council does intend to do instead, will be seen by the GAC and wider community as a decision not to progress work on accuracy, irrespective of what the Motion says. Coupled with the delay on the expectation-setting letter to the GAC, we are concerned that this will be very poorly-received. We believe, therefore, that this vote on the AST recommendations #1 and #2 should be delayed. Ideally, to allow sufficient time for Council to agree on and progress a course of action, we would suggest that the current Motion be amended (if possible, or withdrawn and replaced if not) by one which agrees to a further 6 months deferral on Council’s consideration of the AST’s recommendations (i.e something of similar effect to that agreed in February). The matter could always be brought back before Council sooner, as appropriate. Please let us know if you have any objections. Damon and Susan J.
