2.               Confirmation of agenda (Chair)

              Feedback:

·        Would it be possible to start with a brief overview of the Board resolution that just adopted?

·        Answer: Since Board resolution has not yet been published, we will wait to discuss the resolution.

·        Have there been any preliminary decisions made by the Council during its meeting today?

·        Answer: Because of the limited time in the agenda, the Council was unable to discuss this. There will be a special meeting on this topic in the future.

 

3.               Welcome and housekeeping issues (10 minutes)

a.                    Bilateral meetings of the Chair to date

·        3 bilateral meetings

o   Board liaisons

o   Contracted parties

o   European Commission

·        SSAC has reached out for an informal meeting

·        Regarding meeting with EC - very general discussion re: the letters sent after approval of Phase 1 and the letter sent on 3 May.

b.                    ICANN65 Travel Support (Marika) (seehttps://community.icann.org/x/6hdIBg)

·        The process has been completed for travel support requests

·        Three members will receive travel support: Alex Deacon, Amr Elsadr, and Thomas Rickert

·        This information has been posted on the wiki page

c.                     Confirmation of immediate resources (Rafik) (seehttps://gnso.icann.org/en/correspondence/chalaby-to-drazek-et-al-06may19-en.pdf [gnso.icann.org])

·        GNSO Council made resource request to the Board for the initial work in Phase 2

·        Board approved resources for telecom/transcription serves, travel support, legal counsel and professional mediation services through this fiscal year

·        The Board is awaiting a GNSO Council-approved work plan before approving additional resources

4.               Review and discussion of draft approach for phase 2 (45 minutes) (Chair):

·Review draft approach (see attached, with minor updates in red to reflect input received)

• The main objective of Workstream 1 would be to develop rules for sharing non-public registration data with third parties
• There was discussion re: the terminology of access vs. disclosure - proposal to use “AD” instead of access or disclosure rather than discussing the choice of terms at length
• Proposal to work in two streams - there was comments re: not working in two streams; some argued that the team should accelerate the Phase 2 work
• Sample worksheets have been distributed to the list - does the team find these worksheets useful?
• Clarification letter from the European Commission was received on 3 May 2019 - reference to a unified access model
• Propose to start with working definitions for the Team’s conversation - these will not be legal definitions, but rather, would be used for the sake of a common understanding
• Slide 6 shows an non-exhaustive outline of issues to be considered during workstream 1, e.g., legal guidance, terminology, etc.
• Proposing to have an additional F2F meeting in Los Angeles in mid-September 2019 and possibly in January 2020 (in addition to F2F time at ICANN meetings)
• Target for Montreal - Initial report for WS1

·Each group to provide their input on the draft approach (what, why and how things could or should be done different)

 

                                                                      i.      RySG

·        RySG has not had an opportunity to sync up on a unified response

·        Important to seek further input from SOs/ACs

·        Disclosure and Access needs to be lawful

·        Worksheets may not be helpful. Similar worksheets were considered for Phase 1 but were not utilized. If the EPDP team goes forward with the worksheets, the team should commit to use, maintain, and update the worksheets.

                                                                     ii.      RrSG

·        Nothing to add at this time

                                                                   iii.      IPC

·        Timeline is needed for workstream 2

·        Setting a meeting every other week for workstream 2 may not be enough

·        Worksheets are helpful, and hoping the Team can utilize these going forward

                                                                   iv.      BC

·        Please refer to the BC’s email from 15 May

·        The term legal certainty is not the appropriate standard as this may be unattainable; however, reduction of risk is important to consider

·        Workstream 2 is missing items from the Phase 1 Final report, such as accuracy

                                                                      v.      ISPCP

·        Meeting schedule is acceptable

·        The UDAM may be too ambitious if we would like to bake in feedback from the authorities - if that is the case, it is likely an unrealistic timeline

                                                                   vi.      NCSG

·        Postpone response on the work plan until next week

·        Re: EPDP working with ICANN org and European Data Commissioner - what does that mean?

o   Re: letter from ICANN CEO for subteam to talk through policy questions related to Phase 2 in order for ICANN org to interact with European data protection agencies - proposal is to engage not as a subteam but as the whole EPDP Team at an appropriate time. This is a communication line that will facilitate the EPDP Team’s work.

                                                                 vii.      GAC

·        The timeline is consistent with GAC advice to date. We should find areas to compress the timeline if at all possible

·        Terminology re: access vs. disclosure should not be a prolonged discussion

·        Support the multiple work streams approach, but the team should remain flexible

·        Worksheets could be a useful tool

                                                                viii.      ALAC

·        Generally support the work plan

·        Concerned about the timeline for workstream 2

·        Regarding board resolution - if there are additional issues that need to be dealt with in implementation, they may have to dealt with urgently

·        An item missing from the plan - when will we deal with the legal advice received in Phase 1?

                                                                   ix.      SSAC

·        In support of parallel workstreams

·        More comments will be provided on the list shortly

                                                                     x.      Board liaisons

·        Proposed path forward is acceptable

                                                                    xi.      ICANN Org liaisons

·        No specific comments on draft approach - however, if issues need to be raised after additional internal consultation, we will raise them on the list

·Confirm agreements and, if applicable, areas that need to be reviewed

• No group disagreed with the proposal as a whole

• Confirm next steps & action items

• EPDP Members to provide general comments on draft approach by Monday, 20 May -
• Next call - finalize the approach and propose additional details to the work plan for discussion.
• Leadership team to share initial glossary of terms for discussion during the next meeting - working definitions (not legal definitions)

 

5.               Discuss required step of “soliciting of statements from GNSO Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies” (5 minutes) (Marika)

·        One required step of the PDP/EPDP - request early input from SGs/Cs to inform the deliberations

·        This concept was made in the context of a potentially underrepresented group, which is not the case in the EPDP

·        The timeframe given is 21 days for groups to provide input

·        Factoring in the specific set up of the group and the representation, what can be done to meet this requirement without creating duplicate work?

·        One approach: once the Team has reached agreement on the approach - share it with the groups and input received during Phase 1 and ask if there is any new or additional information that groups want to provide so that the input is not merely a repetition of feedback already received.

 

                               Feedback:

·        Important to give SOs/ACs an opportunity to provide early input to the Team’s work

·        The question is not if the group can discard the step, but rather - how should the Team go about getting the feedback - should specific questions be asked? What format should the request take?

·        Providing targeted questions to the SOs/ACs would be helpful

• Support Staff to prepare draft of outreach message for initial SO/AC input before next call

6.               Workstream 2 Worksheets (10 minutes) (Chair)

• Confirm latest status

• From a staff perspective, the worksheets are helpful for the scope of the work and the expected deliverable
• Important for the Team members to review the worksheets so that Staff can translate the work sheets into timeframes, necessary input, etc.
• Staff plans to document conversations on these topics as they happen within the worksheets and will also use the worksheets for draft recommendations and supporting text
• Feedback: if worksheets are used in the method described, they could be useful, so long as they are a living document
• EPDP Team Members to provide feedback on worksheets published to date by next EPDP Team meeting

• Confirm deadline for review and input

• EPDP Team Members to provide feedback on worksheets published to date by next EPDP Team meeting

7.               Review of clarifying questions received in relation to legal memos (10 minutes)

• Review clarifying questions received
• Support staff to review the questions received so far and align them with memos received. The EPDP Team can then review the questions.

• The Board resolution may impact the questions asked, so more time is needed.

• Confirm next steps

• Deadline for EPDP Team members to provide additional feedback - Thursday, 23 May

 

8.               Any other business

9.               Wrap and confirm next meeting to be scheduled for Thursday, 23 May at 14.00 UTC (5 minutes)

• Confirm action items
• Confirm questions for ICANN Org, if any
