SSAD SRT - Straw person citations
by Anderson, Marc June 4, 2026

June 4, 2026

Dear SSAD SRT Members, Per the good suggestion of a few of you, Support Staff has gone through and added citations and relevant page numbers to the Straw Person. In many instances, particularly for the LOW LOE recommendations, there is a clear tie to what the RDRS SC recommended and the associated modifications in the Straw Person. In other instances, the RDRS SC may have provided a recommendation such as, "allow for authentication of interested requestor groups, beginning with law enforcement" or "SLAs should be a component of RDRS/successor system, but additional consideration should be given as to how to calculate and report on them in a balanced way" without explaining in detail how to do that. In an instance like that, we took a first cut of how that could happen, but there isn't necessarily clear language as to how to do that or a clear citation to each word in the Straw Person. I believe this provides a good starting point for our discussion. We have endeavored to consider the interests of all stakeholders, but as we have previously noted and emphasized, we may have missed something or gotten something wrong. It is now the Team's job to closely review the Straw Person and explain, with a rationale, how this could be improved to get to modified recommendations that are implementable, consider the needs around the table, and can be adopted by the Board. This is a starting point for the team to dive into its work and assignment. While it may not be perfect, a lot of work has gone into this, including providing specific pages of the report for everyone to review. We have done this to help the Team do its job and effectively prepare for ICANN86. There is no perfect Straw Person, but I have closely reviewed this document, and I hope the added citations help provide some clarity to the modified recommendations. I look forward to hearing constructive discussions in Seville and making progress on our work soon. Thank you. Marc Anderson

Request for hard copies of the Strawperson pages 1-56
by Anne ICANN June 4, 2026

June 4, 2026

Could staff please arrange for double-sided hard copies of the Strawperson pages 1-56 in landscape for the meeting on Sunday.? This will enable members to review the Strawperson while comparing it to the many reference documents on their screens. From my point of view, it is not necessary to include the comments in the Google doc - just the main Strawperson document itself, but whatever makes sense to you. Thank you, Anne Anne Aikman-Scalese GNSO Councilor NomCom Non-Voting 2022-2026 anneicanngnso(a)gmail.com

SSAD SRT - Implementation Guidance and MUST
by Anderson, Marc June 2, 2026

June 2, 2026

Dear SSAD SRT Members, During this week's meeting, a question was raised by Anne regarding the use of MUST within implementation guidance. The EPDP working group considered this and included the following in the EPDP Phase 2 Final Report<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/epdp-phas…> (section 3.4 - page 16), "Where Implementation Guidance is referenced, the EPDP Team considers this supplemental context and/or clarifying information to help inform the implementation of the policy recommendations but the EPDP Team notes that implementation guidance does not have the same weight and standing as recommendation text to create policy." Generally speaking, when a Working Group or EPDP team provides Implementation Guidance, the group is recommending the stated action, and there is a presumption that it will be implemented. Because Implementation Guidance is not the same as a policy recommendation, however, ICANN org, in consultation with the IRT, has the flexibility to deviate from the implementation guidance so long as the alternative course is transparently described, has been carefully considered, and a rationale for any deviation is provided. With respect to SSAD supplemental recommendations specifically, if the SSAD SRT believes an instance of MUST should be changed to SHOULD or MAY, that is something the group can consider when modifying the SSAD recommendations. Thank you, Marc Anderson
