Rafik, as Council liaison to the EPDP, what can you share about the impact the EPDP Team sees here?

Subject: EPDP & Accreditation/Access Model

 

The BC/IPC recently sent a letter to ICANN org (https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/bc-ipc-to-marby-07sep18-en.pdf) about the accreditation and access model.  This letter seems problematic at this stage of the game.  We discussed this issue ad nauseam during the EPDP Charter development and the Council has tasked the EPDP with addressing the Annex. To ask ICANN org to circumvent the EPDP undermines the policy development process and seems disingenuous to the Council’s approval of the Charter.  In addition, the EDPB’s July 5 letter states responsibility for designing an access model lies with ICANN and the registries/registrars, not just ICANN as indicated in the BC/IPC letter.

 

Will our BC and/or IPC councilors please shed some light on this?

 

Thanks,

Darcy
