Hi all Here some brief update from the EPDP team. The team spent the last calls (90min call per week) since Janis started his role as chair early this month to discuss the approach to be followed for phase 2, including also the review the legal questions and the tools the team will use for deliberation. I attached the slides presented in last call to explain the approach ,includes a rough high level timeline and next steps till Marrakech meeting. Please let me know if you want more details. I also got request for clarification in the last call. As expected, there was interest within EPDP team with regard to board resolution on EPDP phase final report and policy recommendations. The EPDP team is seeking clarification from the GNSO Council regarding the Bylaw-triggered consultation process following the non-adoption by Board of parts of GNSO Council approved recommendations. I understand that council can realistically respond to this after our extraordinary meeting on board resolution next week. Best, Rafik
