Dear all, I have extracted the Non-Commercial Stakeholder Group’s statement from the [meeting transcript](https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/transcript...):
[The Non-Commercial Stakeholder Group is] the only place within the ICANN ecosystem that is specifically reserved for the advancement of non-state and non-market interests. We represent more than 700 non-profit organisations and individuals who wish to advance non-commercial policy objectives at ICANN, including respect for human rights, freedom of expression, and access to knowledge. Our members include academics, civil liberties groups, religious organisations, free software groups, and ICT for development organizations.
Our mission is to protect and support non-commercial communication and activity online as it is enabled by the Domain Name System. Consistent with that mission, the NCSG is participating in this EPDP to ensure that the fundamental rights of natural persons during the collection, processing, and/or disclosure of their personal data as a result of gTLD domain name registration is protected by the policy that the EPDP team develops, and that this right is not overridden by third-party interests to the extent that these rights are protected by the GDPR.
Best wishes, Ayden Férdeline (NCSG)

All,
Action item #2 from the 1 Aug call is to provide the prepared written statement introducing respective groups. Here is the RySG introduction statement:
The Registries Stakeholder Group’s goal is to participate actively and in good faith towards a consensus policy that addresses the questions set forth in the EPDP Charter. The RySG believes that any consensus policy developed by the EPDP must provide a clear path for compliance with the GDPR, be commercially reasonable and implementable, takes into account our differing business models, and does not inhibit innovation.
Thank you,
Marc Anderson (RySG)

EPDP Team Meeting #1 – 1 August 2018
Meeting Summary
In this summary:
- “Team Members” and the “Team” are the meeting participants representing ICANN’s stakeholder groups, constituencies and advisory committees.
- The “Support Team” is the ICANN staff members supporting this group.
- The “Chair” is the Chair or Vice Chair acting as Chair.
Most important actions from today’s meeting:
- For contribution to the “triage” document, Team Members will complete Part 1 of the (now distributed) survey - one survey response per group. Due date: 19:00UTC, August 6.
- The Team Members prepared statements to introduce their respective groups. To preserve that thought product, each team member who prepared a written statement will mail it to gnso-secs@icann.org. Each team member that made an oral statement can send a written version to the same address. In the latter case, please use the transcript as the starting point as there should be little or no edits or embellishments to the original statement. Due: 8 August.
- The Chair will advise the GNSO Council leadership that, pending the receipt of one comment from the Team, Rafik Dammak was confirmed as Vice Chair and that, a replacement for his role in reporting complaints about the team leadership to the Council should be replaced. Due date: August 3
- All EPDP Team members and alternates to review the statement of participation and reflect on these items. Due date: August 3.
Major discussion points in addition to the action items:
- An “early Input” request has been mailed to Supporting Organization and Advisory Committee leaders. Replies are due in 21 days. The Early Input request is a PDP requirement but is, in this case, largely redundant with the Survey that has been distributed to the Team, where the Team and the Early Input distribution has essentially the same breadth of distribution.
- The Charter deliverables are, in order (see, [https://community.icann.org/x/0opHBQ [community.icann.org]](https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_x_0...)) We plan to deliver the first two prior to the Barcelona meeting but have identified possible schedule slack time so that, if an extension is needed, we might be able to extend the delivery.
- Triage
- Initial Report: Temporary Specification
- Initial Report: Access
- The Chair reviewed a speaking-order methodology for issue discussion at meetings. There was general support although it was recognized that the process of consensus-building remains complex and must be respected.
- The Chair reviewed plans to possibly engage with mediation expertise. There was not time for discussion on the matter and more information would be provided for discussion before decisions were made in that regard.
- Meetings will occur on Tuesday and Thursday at 13:00UTC. The next meeting is 7 August, 13:00UTC. We are planning a face-to-face meeting in mid to late September, potentially in Los Angeles to simplify logistics but ability of the Team to travel there will be weighed. A schedule for the ICANN Barcelona meeting was reviewed.
- The plan for developing the Triage report was reviewed (and is now launched).
