Hi Councilors, Greg, Manju,

Reading this request again immediately after re-reading the letter we plan to send to the Board on Urgent Requests for the disclosure or registrants data, I am reminded of the fact that both are unprecedented. Given that after the GNSO Council votes positively on a Recommendation, the Board still needs to adopt it, is the IDN EPDP leadership also consulting with the Board on this matter to avoid an even further unprecedented situation where a non-adopted Recommendation is already implemented?

Secondly, considering the implications of this, which is that the council's acceptance for this 'implementation' before a vote means a commitment to vote positively on this recommendation once the stable Recommendation is sent to council, I think this implication deserves to be explicitly called out so that all councillors are aware.

Finally, @陳曼茹 Manju Chen  looking at Samad's request to the IDN EPDP leadership,  it appears as if the 'implementation, we are talking about here is only the announcement of the panel for harmonizing the IDN tables. Is my understanding correct? Here is an excerpt from Samad's request to the IDN EPDP 

"As ICANN is launching the RSP program in November 2024, we would like to get the IDN table harmonization data in place, ready for implementation when the relevant recommendations are considered (by GNSO and then by the ICANN Board). So, we were planning to announce a panel for harmonizing IDN tables immediately, based on the relevant IDN EPDP Phase 2 recommendations, after the IDN EPDP team preliminarily agrees on the recommendations. This allows data to be prepared in parallel now, for later implementation." Emphasis added.


Warmly,
Tomslin

Dear Councilors,

During the last Council meeting on 08 August, the EPDP-IDNs Leadership Team requested feedback and guidance from the Council by 19 August re: IDNs request to implement specific recommendations related to IDN table harmonization in advance of the Council vote, per Action Item 11.7 - Queries regarding IDN EPDP. Here is a link to Manju’s request: https://lists.icann.org/hyperkitty/list/council@icann.org/thread/A5XCOJLEXNC6JZ2RRRS3VOMJ4DMFP2I4/

 

With no feedback so far, the Leadership is taking this as a signal that the EPDP-IDNs Team has the approval from the Council to begin implementing the noted recommendations, even though the Council has not yet voted on the report. If agreed, Manju Chen, as the Council liaison to the Team, will communicate this to the EPDP-IDNs Team unless we hear an objection by Monday, 26 August 21:00 UTC.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

Thanks,

 

Greg
