Dear GNSO Council, The Registration Data Policy IRT has met today to review its position following the GAC letter<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/caballero-to-sinha-23au...> of 23 August 2023 and the RrSG letter<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/heineman-to-sinha-08sep...> of 8 September 2023 offering to remove the contentious Urgent Request wording to allow for a speeding publication of the Policy. The IRT going back to the original Recommendation 18 requesting the IRT to “consider” Urgent Requests believes that in essence it has considered the topic and therefore is able to remove the wording from the final policy without requiring further input from either the GNSO Council or the ICANN Board. The IRT also notes that in the spirit of the above mentioned letters, the issue of Urgent Requests is a topic that must be resolved and asks the GNSO Council to consider it and relevantly prioritize it in its work. Kindly, Sebastien Ducos GoDaddy Registry | Senior Client Services Manager [signature_905115032] +33612284445 France & Australia sebastien@registry.godaddy<mailto:sebastien@registry.godaddy>
