Dear EPDP Team Members, On behalf of the leadership team, and as discussed during the Team meeting #118<https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=371327501> on Thursday, 12 September 2024, this message is to notify you the opening of the Consensus Call process on the EPDP-IDNs Phase 2 Final Outputs. The leadership team has proposed a consensus designation for every final Output that the EPDP Team has finalized by 20 September 2024. These consensus designations are contained in the attached pdf document titled, “[P2 Final Report] Leadership Proposed Consensus Designation.” This Consensus Call process opens today, Friday, 20 September, 2024 at 22:30 UTC, for a 10-day period, closing on Monday, 30 September, 2024 at 22:30 UTC. In accordance with the GNSO Working Group Guidelines<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/annex-1-gn...>, the EPDP Team Members are required to indicate via reply to this message whether they accept, or do not accept, the leadership team’s proposed consensus designations. If no objection is raised by any Member, the consensus designation is considered accepted by that EPDP Team Member. If you do not respond before Monday, 30 September, 2024 at 22:30 UTC, the leadership team will take this as acceptance of the consensus designations. If any objection is raised for any specific final Output(s), the leadership team is expected to reevaluate the consensus designation of such Output(s) and publish an updated designation to be reviewed by the EPDP Team. In the event there is no disagreement by the EPDP Team with the proposed consensus designations, your Support Staff will incorporate the Final Outputs into the Phase 2 Final Report. As set out in the EPDP Team Charter<https://community.icann.org/display/epdpidn/2.+Charter?preview=/166265992/16...>, only Members appointed by their representative groups are expected to participate in the Consensus Call process. Participants and observers will not be able to participate. For reference, please also see the attached document titled “[P2 Final] FINAL OUTPUTS (ONLY)” that contains the nineteen (19) Outputs to be included in the Phase 2 Final Report. For more information about the Consensus Call, you may review the GNSO Working Group Guidelines<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/annex-1-gn...> or the EPDP Team Charter<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/idns-epdp-...> (Section VI: Decision Making Methodologies) (both documents also linked above).
