I support Kristina’s request and want to expand on item #2 relating to when and how consensus will be determined.  For anyone not familiar, Section 3.6 of the GNSO working group guidelines deals specifically with this topic.

https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/annex-1-gnso-wg-guidelines-18jun18-en.pdf

By my read a lot is left to the chair as to how to determine and designate the level of consensus for each position.  Given the current timeline to publish the phase 1 final report, working group members need to know in very short order what are each of the positions, how will the level of support be determined and what designation will be given for each position.

Thank you,
Marc

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Gnso-epdp-team] Requested Agenda Items for Upcoming EPDP F2F

All,

I’m writing to request that 3 specific items be included in the agenda for our upcoming F2F next week:

1. Discuss and develop recommendation for addressing the period of time between the Temporary Specification’s May 25 expiration and implementation of the remaining EPDP WG policy recommendations approved by the Board;
2. When and how the EPDP WG will conduct/hold its consensus calls; and
3. Quick review and disposition of all the items left in the “parking lot” thus far.

Many thanks!

K
