Hi all, during the last call, Steve asked about the purpose for the data, but I do not think that defining should concern for even a second of our work as the council was explicit in their instructions to that regard: "In carrying out its work above, *the Scoping Team is expected to take into account* the policy recommendations from the EPDP on gTLD Registration Data (EPDP) Team that have been adopted by the GNSO Council and the ICANN Board, including* the EPDP-identified purposes* and the related data processing activities. However, the scoping team *is not tasked to review these purposes or suggest changes*. If the scoping team finds that further review of these purposes is necessary, especially in the context of implementation and enforcement of existing requirements, it will identify this as an area of further work in its recommendations. " So let's just copy/paste the purposes as defined by the EPDP and be done with it. Best, -- Volker A.
