Can you provide more details on why there is a need for more time?

Is this a feeling shared by the entire WG or is it only some of its members?

If an extension is to be granted for how long would that be?

More information would be helpful.

I’m also personally very concerned that we would be unable to find anyone to replace the current chair. It was a challenge previously but in light of the current situation I would suspect that it would be even harder, possibly bordering on impossible.

Regards

Michele

Subject: [council] EPDP seeking guidance regarding extension of timeline

Hi all,

in the last EPDP team call, there was discussion regarding request for extension of the EPDP team timeline taking into account COVID-19 situation. I am sharing this on behalf of the team and as GNSO council liaison to seek guidance from GNSO Council as we approved previously PCR and the updated timeline in last December. 

I want also to flag an important factor to have in consideration. Any timeline extension might require replacing the current EPDP team chair due to Janis's availability as he cannot continue in that role beyond 30th June. 

Best,

Rafik
