The NCSG is ready to vote on this motion tomorrow, and we are not requesting a vote deferral. We have been working diligently and sincerely in the EPDP team towards achieving a consensus outcome and, with the publication of the phase one final report today, we are ready to cast our votes on the motion that has been proposed.

As the NCSG has stated in our 18 February 2019 comments to the EPDP team, there are areas where we have withheld our objections out of our genuine desire to reach a new consensus policy. Personally, I would like to see others do the same.

Best wishes,
Ayden Férdeline

Marie,

Would BC, and possibly other C's or SGs that intend to request a deferral,  consider requesting a deferral only on the votes of the recommendations with EPDP divergence ? For completeness, this would mean voting on Purposes 1-7, Recommendations 3-15 and 17-29, but not on recommendations 2 and 16. Or any slicing of the report that includes those two recommendations. 

Note that I'm not making such request or suggesting others to do so, because I would prefer no deferral at all, but I believe this would allow some progress in this meeting and save valuable time to discuss the issues that seems to be polarizing within the community. 

Also, this would need a few amendments to the motion, but it's soon even to suggest them. Just floating the idea to see if it helps.

Hi Marie,
 
Thanks for your email. Your request for a deferral is noted, and we can discuss further during tomorrow’s meeting.
 
As a reminder to all Councilors, as the manager of the GNSO policy development process, our role is to vote on whether the process and procedures and charter were followed by the EPDP WG. It is not an opportunity to re-litigate discussions and decisions made by the EPDP WG itself. Any requests for deferral and voting should be considered in this important context.
 
Also, *if* there is a deferral to 4 March, there will be no further opportunity to defer Council’s vote on the motion; a vote will be required.
 
Regards,
Keith

Given that the situation is very fluid, with substantive issues still being considered, it would give us time to understand the new policy before we vote.

So if the report is being finalised today what benefit is there in deferring the vote?

Hi Marie,
 
I want to highlight that the EPDP Team planned on submitting the Final Report today and we are having our final call in few minutes.
 

In theory we can have a couple of additional days until the document deadline (22 Feb) for a extraordinary meeting in 4th March but the Council should have the report by tomorrow's meeting to be able to discuss and plan for its vote accordingly even if it takes place on 4 March.

Best,
 
Rafik

Dear Keith,
 
On behalf of the BC, we would like to request that the Council vote on the Phase 1 EPDP Report be postponed until Monday 4th March so as to permit the continuation of the very practical ongoing discussion within the EPDP Team on the unresolved policy recommendations.
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Scott & Marie
