Dear IRT,

I asked Andrea to cancel the IRT session at ICANN76 that had been scheduled for 16 March 2023.

I had planned to coordinate and collaborate to build our 18-month implementation plan at the session. However, I don’t think we’ll be ready to have that discussion just yet.

As you know, we’ve received a large number of public comments requiring review and consideration. IPT is currently going over each and every comment for potential impact on the implementation requirement and the policy language. I’d also like to conduct a few more interviews with the implementers to gain insights to build a proposed baseline plan after the ICANN76.

I expect that Registration Data policy implementation could be a subject of some of the sessions you are attending; please share any outcome with the IRT when you note them.

To those traveling this week to Cancun, I wish you a pleasant and safe journey. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to join you this time but you’ll see me fully participating remotely. Please feel free to chat me up or call me along the way.

Kind Regards,

Dennis S. Chang
