Thanks for this, Rafik.

The BC would prefer Option 3; dealing with as much as possible within the (to be) extended EPDP period and then a rapid scoping and chartering of a new group (preferably including as many of the expert EPDP Team as possible to ensure continuity) for the remaining issues.

Further, we agree with your recommendation that the EPDP be reset “to allow for further consideration and completion of the charter to address the following two topics: 1) legal vs natural persons and 2) Feasibility of unique contacts to have a uniform anonymized email address. A specific timeline (e.g. 3 months) after reconvening should be set for the EPDP Team to report back to determine the likelihood of consensus emerging on these topics. Note, if no consensus can be found for Consensus Policy recommendations, the EPDP Team could also consider guidance or best practices to Contracted Parties for these topics based on its consideration of these topics. Based on the feedback from the EPDP Team, the Council would decide whether further time would be granted to the EPDP Team to complete its work or whether termination of the EPDP would be in order.”

We also strongly support the creation – as soon as possible - of “a scoping team to further consider the topic of accuracy” to “identify what specific issues, if any, need to be addressed in relation to accuracy and identify the best path for addressing these issues”.

Subject: [council] Proposal for framework of next steps for EPDP

Hi all,

As follow-up of action item from the last council meeting, I am sending here a framework document to identify the list of topics (e.g., accuracy, legal vs. natural and other remainder items from the EPDP) and outline possible next steps for GNSO Council to consider. Looking forward tour feedback. 

Best Regards,

Rafik
