Dear EPDP Team Members,

The agenda for the call on 8 December will be shared next week, but the expectation is that it will focus primarily on ICANN org’s input to the String Similarity Small Group Recommendations (e.g., the hybrid model). Please review the relevant input in advance (page 12 in the attached document) and share any questions or input you might have in advance of the meeting.

For clarity, leadership fully intends to review all of the ICANN org input in detail with the EPDP Team, but believes the string similarity input should be prioritized, given that an outcome on the appropriate model, hybrid or otherwise, allows the EPDP Team to address some charter questions that were dependent upon resolution on this topic.

Best,

Steve
