Dear EPDP Team,
As discussed,
the Staff Support Team has prepared a first draft
of the Final Report for your review (seehttps://drive.google.com/a/icann.org/file/d/1E6W-daNTaadOhG5BRlzNJQbrT9MSoKDn/view?usp=sharing].
In addition to the administrative updates to
reflect that this is the Final Report, a new
section has been added concerning the public
comment period on the Initial Report. Furthermore,
following the outcomes of the Toronto F2F meeting,
the relevant recommendations and other sections of
the report have been updated to reflect:
- Highlighted in green – purposes /
recommendations that have received the general
support of the EPDP Team for inclusion
- Highlighted in blue – items that are
still under active consideration (if you have
suggestions in relation to these items, please
make sure to introduce these as part of the
relevant agenda items for upcoming meetings)
- Highlighted in yellow – updates to be
made following review of language to reflect the
approach that has been in principle agreed by
the EPDP Team
- Other redline changes – intended to
clarify and/or address input provided by the
EPDP Team during its deliberations
Similar to how
this was done for the Initial Report, you are
requested to provide your group’s input via the
following google document (see https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sVZ9odV0qK1Bk8a4bDwWe5RW_PBzOnYBhHW_GnLL8jw/edit?usp=sharing).
Please refrain from proposing edits to the
sections highlighted in green as the current
wording reflects in certain cases a carefully
crafted compromise. Any changes in relation to
these sections will need to go back to the full
EPDP Team review. For other sections, minor
updates / corrections will be applied by staff.
Any substantive changes / edits will be brought
back to the EPDP Team for consideration.
As discussed in
Toronto, the audience for this report is the GNSO
Council and subsequently the ICANN Board, so
please keep this in mind as you consider possible
structural changes to the report. As you are also
aware, there are a number of elements that are
required to be included in the Final Report
(whether it is in the body of the report, an annex
or by reference). As also discussed, following
publication of the Final Report, the EPDP Team may
want to consider whether it would be helpful to
produce a summary version that would be
specifically intended for external audiences?
Please commence
your review as soon as possible.
Best regards,
Caitlin, Berry
and Marika
