Hi Marie, Thanks very much for the clarifying questions. 1. Yes, the letter essentially acknowledges the differences of opinion on timing and the role of ICANN Org in managing implementation work, and defers that decision to ICANN Org. 2. The following language in the letter was intended to address the “parsing” point we discussed in Kobe. It does not use the work “parse” but I think the intention is the same: “As discussed during the GNSO Council meetings in Kobe, the Council notes that a detailed analysis on elements of the implementation work that are impacted by GDPR and interdependent with the EPDP outcome would be helpful to the Council and the GNSO community and encourages ICANN org to carry out such analysis as soon as possible.” Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Can I please clarify, does “... the GNSO Council considers it appropriate to defer the decision on this issue to ICANN org and the PPSAI IRT” mean that we’re leaving it to Org and the IRT to decide on whether to start the implementation? Also – may I ask what happened to the suggestion about parsing – lifted from the Kobe action points, “In relation to unpausing of the PPSAI IRT, Council to consider whether it would be possible to parse out EPDP-dependent versus non-EPDP dependent items.”? Thanks!

The attached draft acknowledges and refers to the discussion we had in Kobe on the topic and recognizes the differing views of Councilors. Thanks to Pam for taking the lead on drafting this.
