Marika’s interpretation is consistent with my reading of the Charter, per the email thread from before the Toronto meeting.

Milton, please note that the reference here to ‘group’ was not intended to refer to stakeholder group but to ‘group’ as used in the EPDP Team Charter, more specifically the table on page 12-13.

Best regards,

Caitlin, Berry and Marika

Another reminder that the relevant groups from the GNSO are Stakeholder Groups, not constituencies. IPC and BC are two thirds of the Commercial Stakeholder Group, they are not each of them the equivalent of RySG, RrSG or NCSG, ALAC, GAC or SSAC. 

The correct way for you to list the groups not supporting Rec 16 would be:

ALAC

SSAC

2/3 of CSG (IPC and BC) 

Please correct this mistake going forward.

Dear EPDP Team,

Per today’s meeting, the staff support team has currently noted the following groups as not supporting recommendation #16 (“The EPDP Team recommends that Registrars and Registry Operators are permitted to differentiate between registrants on a geographic basis, but are not obligated to do so.”):

• ALAC
• SSAC
• IPC
• BC

If your group is missing, or your group’s position has changed as a result of today’s discussion, please let us know as soon as possible so this can be accurately documented in the Final Report in relation to this recommendation, as well as factored into the consensus designation process.

Best regards,

Caitlin, Berry and Marika
