Dear EPDP Team, Please find below the proposed agenda for the next EPDP Team meeting scheduled for Thursday, 23 July at 14:30 UTC (for 90 minutes). Thank you. Best regards, Marika, Berry, and Caitlin EPDP Phase 2 - Meeting #74 Proposed Agenda Thursday 23 July 2020 at 14.00 UTC 1. Roll Call & SOI Updates (5 minutes) 2. Confirmation of agenda (Chair) 3. Welcome and housekeeping issues (Chair) (5 minutes) 1. Expected approach for consensus designation and timeline: From the GNSO Working Group Guidelines: The recommended method for discovering the consensus level designation on recommendations should work as follows: i. After the group has discussed an issue long enough for all issues to have been raised, understood and discussed, the Chair, or Co-Chairs, make an evaluation of the designation and publish it for the group to review. ii. After the group has discussed the Chair's estimation of designation, the Chair, or Co-Chairs, should reevaluate and publish an updated evaluation. iii. Steps (i) and (ii) should continue until the Chair/Co-Chairs make an evaluation that is accepted by the group. iv. In rare case, a Chair may decide that the use of polls is reasonable. Some of the reasons for this might be: o A decision needs to be made within a time frame that does not allow for the natural process of iteration and settling on a designation to occur. o It becomes obvious after several iterations that it is impossible to arrive at a designation. This will happen most often when trying to discriminate between Consensus and Strong support but Significant Opposition or between Strong support but Significant Opposition and Divergence. Modified timeline: * 22 – 26 July – continuation of online dialogue on category 2 items * 27 July – confirmation in google doc of proposed agreements on category 2 items by staff support team – by 28 July groups to confirm if they cannot live with the proposed agreements (if cannot live, proposed agreements will NOT be applied) * 23 24 July: distribution of Final Report and consensus designations. As a reminder, the Chair will make an evaluation of the support achieved for the recommendations and publish its designation for the group to review. * 243 - 27 29 July: opportunity for EPDP Team to respond to consensus designations, review by Chair of input received, if any, confirmation by Chair of designation. * 27 29 July: deadline for minority statements. * 31 July: No later than date for submission of Final Report to the GNSO Council 4.
