Membership Response to Consensus Calls
Dear EPDP Team Members, We would like to remind you that, 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. That said, we kindly ask that the ‘Members’ participating in the process respond on behalf of their representative groups. Members are expected to represent the view of their appointing organization and provide the official position of their appointing organization when participating in the consensus calls. For more details, please see ‘Section IV: Formation, Staffing, and Organization’ of the EPDP Team Charter<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/idns-epdp-...>, which includes information on the ‘Working Group Model, Membership Structure, and the Membership Criteria.’ Much appreciated, EPDP-IDNs Support Staff on behalf of the EPDP-IDNs Leadership Team From: Donna austin <DonnaAustin605@hotmail.com> Date: Monday, September 23, 2024 at 10:15 PM To: Saewon Lee <saewon.lee@icann.org> Cc: "gnso-epdp-idn-team@icann.org" <gnso-epdp-idn-team@icann.org>, GNSO-Secs <gnso-secs@icann.org> Subject: [Ext] Re: [Gnso-epdp-idn-team] Leadership Proposal for IG21 (Additional Guidance to Supplement Rec.20) Hi Everyone Thanks for your indulgence on this one last request.

After the Team confirmed all Outputs last week, your support staff reached out to the ccNSO support staff for the ccNSO to be informed of the updates to Outputs 18-20 following the public comment process. Unfortunately, they provided us with feedback requesting that ccNSO’s consideration process be included again to Final Recommendation 20, to become: “…approved by the GNSO Council after consulting the ccNSO Council, prior to consideration by the ICANN Board.” Their rationale was that though not directly affected, ccTLDs that register IDNs at the second-level will be affected by the Guidelines and are expected to abide by them. Hence, the request was for a consultation mechanism to be included in the Output to ensure that the ccNSO Council is involved while the ccTLDs are informed throughout the whole process. To reflect ccNSO’s request while also considering the Team’s agreement, and so as not to interrupt the current work plan, the leadership proposes a new implementation guidance to supplement the current Final Recommendation 20, and the proposal is as follows: Implementation Guidance 21: "The GNSO Council should consult with the ccNSO Council prior to taking action on any future versions of the IDN Implementation Guidelines." (Current language for Consensus Call) Final Recommendation 20: “Any future versions of the IDN Implementation Guidelines must be approved by the GNSO Council prior to consideration by the ICANN Board.” Kindly review the proposal together with your respective groups and provide feedback through the mailing list by Thursday, 26 September 2024 at 23:59 UTC. If no objections are received by then, leadership will circulate the updated consensus designation document for the Team to continue participating in the consensus call (responding to the mailing list with accept or not accept) that started on 20 September 2024.

Unfortunately, they provided us with feedback requesting that ccNSO’s consideration process be included again to *Final Recommendation 20*, to become: *“…approved by the GNSO Council after consulting the ccNSO Council, prior to consideration by the ICANN Board.”* Their rationale was that though not directly affected, ccTLDs that register IDNs at the second-level will be affected by the Guidelines and are expected to abide by them. Hence, the request was for a consultation mechanism to be included in the Output to ensure that the ccNSO Council is involved while the ccTLDs are informed throughout the whole process.
To reflect ccNSO’s request while also considering the Team’s agreement, and so as not to interrupt the current work plan, *the leadership proposes a new implementation guidance to supplement the current Final Recommendation 20, and the proposal is as follows:*
*Implementation Guidance 21:** "The GNSO Council should consult with the ccNSO Council prior to taking action on any future versions of the IDN Implementation Guidelines."*
*(Current language for Consensus Call) Final Recommendation 20: “Any future versions of the IDN Implementation Guidelines must be approved by the GNSO Council prior to consideration by the ICANN Board.”*
*Kindly review the proposal together with your respective groups and provide feedback through the mailing list by Thursday, 26 September 2024 at 23:59 UTC. *If no objections are received by then, leadership will circulate the updated consensus designation document for the Team to continue participating in the consensus call (responding to the mailing list with accept or not accept) that started on 20 September 2024. *The deadline of the consensus call will remain unchanged (Monday, 30 September 2024 at 22:30 UTC).*
Thank you again for all your kind cooperation.
Much appreciated,
EPDP-IDNs Support Staff on behalf of the EPDP-IDNs Leadership Team

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 [gnso.icann.org] <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/f...>, *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.

We appreciate it is very late in the day, but given our previous discussions on this topic I don’t believe our approach to be controversial and therefore will be acceptable to everyone. Leadership did consider a number of options on how to deal with the feedback received, but we believe this is the most appropriate course of action and should not impact our efforts to finalise the report and provide it to the GNSO Council for their consideration. Many thanks for your understanding.
