Thanks Ayden – so no further forward. (An unfortunate reference to the artist formally known at WP29 though).

Anyone have any insights on next steps?

There is a definite information asymmetry between the GNSO Council and ICANN org at the moment. This was not a spontaneous decision; it has clearly been in the works for weeks. I don't see how we can even contemplate launching an ePDP when we are not aware of all the actions that ICANN is up to behind the scenes vis-à-vis WHOIS.
