Dear Heather,

Two Board Liaisons to the EPDP

In response to your note of 12 July 2018 - Call for Volunteers, I wish to inform you that the ICANN Board has appointed two liaisons to the EPDP.  They are Chris Disspain and Léon Felipe Sánchez. 

I also wish to confirm that the role of the two Board liaisons is consistent with the expectation of the GNSO Council, as stated in your note of 12 July 2018: 
“... it is our expectation that the Board Liaison(s) will share on a regular basis any input the Board may have that will inform the EPDP team deliberations and ongoing work. Similarly, Board Liaison(s) are expected to keep the Board informed concerning the status of the EPDP Team deliberations. The Board Liaison(s) are not expected to advocate for any position and/or participate in any EPDP Team consensus calls". 

Please inform the GNSO Council accordingly.

Best regards,
Cherine
