Hi Kurt and everyone, Yes to all of the designated interviews and happy to lead whichever ones you need. There was a little confusion because of the varied time zones. But I can see the calendar invites in my local timings and they’re all perfectly fine! I’m really looking forward to these! Also unfortunately it’s looking like Marc T is at times when I’m not free, so I can’t make it. But everything else is looking great! Thanks everyone!

[CAUTION External Email] Hi Justine (and everyone): Thanks for responding. Regarding the IDN EPDP interview, I re-read my sentence there and saw how you might be confused. Your interpretation is correct. I cannot resist saying that your experience on the EPDP team would be invaluable in preparing for the interview / amending the question set. I think you and I might complete this in a 30 minute call if you have the time. We could then make a recommendation to the rest of the team as to whether this might be worthwhile. Others would be welcome to join in the conversation. Let me know if you agree and if you have 30 minutes to set aside to chat. Thanks and regards, Kurt On 1 Jul 2025, at 1:06 pm, Justine Chew <justine.chew.icann@gmail.com<mailto:justine.chew.icann@gmail.com>> wrote: Hi Kurt, On your second point, I take it you mean you have had a request from the former Chair of the IDNs EPDP to be interview for this initiative. I don't recall having had "considerable interactions with the Board" then but we did have 3 Board Liaisons who attended calls regularly who may provide reinforcement of what "worked / didn’t work / avoided obviating the bottom-up process" (as you say), so I would not be opposed to such an interview, should we have the time and resources needed to handle preparation for it.

So that we can plan the interviewers / note takers, please let us know if you are planning to attend. (I apologise that the times listed are Brisbane times but I think you know when the interviews are in your tome zone by the interviewee. I am in UTC+10hours.) Interview Schedule Tue, 24 Jun, 6AM (UTC+10 - Brisbane) Roger Carney (Thomas, Kurt) Thu, 3 July, 2AM Paul McGrady (Prudence, Kurt) Tue, 8 Jul, 11PM Jeff Neuman (Justine, Prudence, Kurt) Wed, 9 Jul, 6AM Cheryl Langdon-Orr (Susan, Kurt) Mon, 14 Jul 11PM Becky Burr (Justine, Prudence, Kurt) Tue, 15 Jul. 11PM Christa Taylor (Justine, Prudence, Kurt) Prudence, can you take the lead on interviewing Paul McGrady? Also, please complete the poll for Marc Trachtenberg: https://doodle.com/group-poll/participate/dy23PLwe Second, I have had a request to be interviewed by the former Chair of the IDN EPDP. I hope you don’t think it inappropriate by me raising this with this team. While the Board hasn’t rejected any of the IDN EPDP recommendations, that team did have considerable interactions with the Board as they worked. It is potentially valuable to our study to see how that worked / didn’t work / avoided obviating the bottom-up process. On this second thing, let me know what you think.
