hi all, The deadline to review the revised consensus designation already passed and I don't see any strong objection in the list to what I shared initially or to the revised table I sent several hours ago. I want to emphasize that I did that assessment based on direct input from the groups and with my understanding of GNSO WG guidelines. I attached the final report which includes the consensus designation and all minority statements received till now. I will send in the coming hours the report to the council and I will add details in my communication about deadline extension for the minority statement as requested. For those who want to add their minority statements, the deadline is the 24th August and the report will be revised regularly to attach them and note sent to indicate the revision. I want to thank you all for the work done and deliberations in the 2 years between phase 1 and phase 2, during the too many and long conference calls or F2F meetings or small teams and legal committee (Berry got the correct numbers about the hours spent!). I would like to thank the support staff for their tireless help and work, making this process smooth as much as possible. I want also to thank Janis as he chaired most of the phase 2 and facilitated the process. I know that all of you made sacrifice in term of time and efforts and it is important to reach closure. The outcome of consensus oriented process is not always perfect but it has that important element that everyone participated in shaping it. Best regards, Rafik
Many thanks to everyone for their hard work; flexibility, and (mostly ;-) good humor throughout this process. With special appreciation to our outstanding ICANN staff whose tireless work helped us stay organized and on task. I know we only are aware of a fraction of their efforts so I wanted to highlight how fortunate we are to work with such dedicated professionals.

I would just like to echo the thanks to staff expressed so eloquently by Laureen and Rafik. For those of us who have been on the EPDP, its precursor the RDS PDP, the IAG on conflicts with law, the RDS II Review, and even the EWG, we see the same policy staff working for years on this difficult issue (special shout out to Lisa Phifer who got to retire before getting roped into EPDP). We really appreciate your patience in dealing with the same issues and the same arguments over and over again. The methodology used in finally getting this thing corralled represents a mountain of work on your part. I know I for one complained about it but without it we would still be wandering in the desert.

Thank you Rafik, you deserve a big round of applause (actually, you deserve more than that, but that is all we have for now), as does Janis (may he be happier in his new job) and everyone on the team who contributed in good faith and worked diligently towards the goal of creating a workable process. I am sure we all agree that there are flaws and warts and no one will be happy with everything, but is that not the mark of a great compromise. I hope we all find the strength to push our work-product over the finish line. Best regards, -- Volker A.
