Dear Councilors,

Further to the discussion this morning on urgent requests, please find the below summary of options:

To ensure consistency with Recommendation 18, the work to develop an authentication mechanism could be integrated with the Urgent Request timeline through either:

1. GNSO Council confirmation that implementation of the response timeline language incorporating the authentication mechanism would be consistent with Recommendation 18

OR

2. Board un-adoption of Recommendation 18 and GNSO Council development of a supplemental Consensus Policy recommendation integrating authentication and the response timeline language

OR

3. Council incorporates the authentication mechanism as part of the work on supplemental recommendations for the EPDP Phase 2 Policy Recommendations.
