"Grandfathering" for Review
by Saewon Lee Aug. 13, 2024

Aug. 13, 2024

Dear EPDP-IDNs Team, As briefly mentioned via our last Team Meeting on 8 August, kindly find in the link ICANN org’s suggested updates to the term, “grandfathered” for your review: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1EJdmbLg-mAst_ajV-P3DFRhzyE8O4vDKWdZ… The columns are arranged as follows: * Column A: Relevant Output/Rationale (name/number) where the term is included * Column B: Particular sentence/paragraph including the term(s) * Column C: Replaced term(s) * Column D: Revised sentence/paragraph * Column E: Full text of the Output/Rationale to understand the context * Column F: Notes Upon Leadership/Staff’s revision of ICANN org’s suggested text(s), the Leadership has drawn the conclusion that ICANN org’s approach is the simplest and least disruptive in addressing org’s concerns about using the term, “grandfathered,” in our report. As you can see within the spreadsheet, the general term that was used to replace “grandfathered” was “exempted” (or in some cases, “excluded,” if duplicated within one sentence), which does seem to adequately convey the meaning or intent of the recommendations as drafted. As a reminder, the terms instead of “grandfathered,” that were suggested from ICANN org and the Team via discussions were: * Pre-existing domains * Exempted domains * Domains created before a certain date * Right of Continuance * Transitional exceptions Also as a reminder, please review Section 3 and Section 4 (Outputs 1-9) within the working docs as requested in the emails below. The links are shared with you again for your convenience: * Section 3 (Glossary) pp.8, 11-15: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DPjKUkbD6OUJ3iHkh3UZyEKFhVi-oGFdcG-7dfg… * Section 4 (Outputs 1-9) pp.3-20: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vVbsKNfzHoqmuBH6VF1jF73Xr4A_UK7ZXiGmRJj… The updates for 10-20 and other general comments will be notified soon. We look forward to your kind review and further discussions related to the terms and Outputs during our next Team meeting. Kind regards, Saewon.

Fwd: Queries regarding IDN EPDP
by 陳曼茹 Manju Chen Aug. 5, 2024

Aug. 5, 2024

Hi team, For your information, the leadership team sent the query below to the GNSO Council regarding the GDS's request to stabilize the language associated with preliminary recommendation 6 and implementation guidance 7 in response to Charter Question C5. We're happy to discuss this during our call this week if anyone has any questions. Thank you! Best, Manju ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: 陳曼茹 Manju Chen <manju(a)nii.org.tw> Date: Mon, Aug 5, 2024 at 10:00 AM Subject: Queries regarding IDN EPDP To: council@gnso icann. org <council(a)gnso.icann.org> Cc: GNSO Secs <gnso-secs(a)icann.org>, Donna austin < DonnaAustin605(a)hotmail.com>, Farell FOLLY <farell(a)benin2point0.org> Hi Councilors, I'm sending this email on behalf of the IDN EPDP Leadership Team in my role as the Council liaison to the Team. Last month, the IDN EPDP team received a request from ICANN org (Sarmad Hussain from GDS) to stabilize the EPDP Phase 2 recommendations related to harmonized IDN tables, namely Preliminary Recommendation 6 and Implementation Guidance 7 in response to Charter Question C5. According to Sarmad, the stability of these recommendations is a prerequisite to ICANN org launching the RSP program in November this year. You can find the email here: https://lists.icann.org/hyperkitty/list/gnso-epdp-idn-team@icann.org/messag… [lists.icann.org] As a result of the request, the IDN EPDP Team agreed to prioritize our discussion of the nominated recommendations and the Leadership Team is confident that we can stabilize these to the satisfaction of the Team by the end of August. However, as the request suggests that implementation of these recommendations will occur before the IDN EPDP Team delivers its Phase 2 Final Report to the Council for consideration, the Leadership Team is concerned that this is procedurally unprecedented. Therefore, we believe it is appropriate to bring this matter to the attention of Council and seek the Council's guidance on the path forward. Best, Manju
