Hi All,

Please find attached the final EPDP Phase 1 Factsheet.  We apologize for the delay, but it took a while to fully reconcile actual expenses within the ICANN finance system with what we tracked manually as expenses were incurred by the EPDP.  Prior distributions only included the page 1 summary.  This final version, however, includes details of the expenses for Professional Services and Face-to-Face Meeting travel.  It also includes an expanded view of the project activity and resources used over the eight months.  In short, $424,883 of the committed $590,000 was consumed for Phase 1.

1. Page 1 is a summary as provided monthly over the course of the project
2. Page 2 provides details for the professional services (CBI, Verizon, Bird & Bird, and IT Governance)
3. Page 3 displays expenses by type for the three face to face meetings (Los Angeles, Barcelona, and Toronto)
4. Pages 4 & 5 provide telcom expenses by category and email traffic activity
5. Page 6 summarizes the key milestones and deliverables

As noted in recent correspondence to the GNSO, the ICANN Board provided resources in the near-term for Phase 2 in FY19 and committed to additional resources being available once the EPDP has developed a full work plan of its activities.  Staff has created a fresh EPDP-Phase 2 Factsheet to track this effort separate from Phase 1.  I suspect the first version of Phase 2 activities will first occur in August after ICANN65 expenses have been fully realized.

This is also posted on the EPDP wiki under Phase 1 https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=88574682. 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you.
