SSAC believes the schedule should take less time than proposed, and supports the two-stream approach. We believe that the ePDP is the highest priority in the community, and deserving of attendant resourcing. Parties participated in Phase 1 under a common commitment and assumption that work would continue with similar urgency in Phase 2. Phase 1 took eight months to go from initiation (approved 19 July 2018) to publication of a Final Report (20 Feb 2019). The proposed Phase 2 schedule will take twelve months. While such a schedule is aggressive, we believe an expedited schedule is needed in order to maintain progress, and are not convinced that Phase 2 contains so much more work than Phase 1 did. We propose that the target for the Initial Report be late November, as it was for Phase 1. This will allow the required thirty-day public comment period to end before the December holidays, as it did in Phase 1. The proposal for Phase 2 seems to include a sixty-day public comment running from the beginning of December to the end of January. Sixty days is excessive, even if it stretches over the holiday season. The revision of the Phase 2 Initial Report is proposed to last three months. Revision of the Phase 1 report took just thirty normal days (Phase 1 went forty days, ten of which was dead time at the late December holidays). We believe that the target for the Phase 2 Final Report can be in advance of ICANN67 in March 2019, giving the Council time to consider the recommendations and vote on them at or before ICANN67. We believe that the above is aggressive but workable because: 1. The current proposal is for only one ePDP call in some weeks. There should be two meetings every week; that will be in keeping with the commitment to make substantive, expedited progress. 2. SSAC supports the two-stream approach. We do not see complicated dependencies between the two. For example, the legal-versus-natural conversation does not determine the overall shape of a standardized model for lawful disclosure. 3. Work will take place offline between meetings. 4. We are happy to participate in 2-hour calls, rather than the 1.5-hour calls that have taken place so far. There needs to be a proposed schedule for weekly workstream 2 meetings.
