Hi Dennis,

Thanks for the update, however I am a little confused. 

You mention that you are following up with implementers but it’s not clear how that can delay implementing a policy. It was my assumption that the parties implementing this (registrars and registries) are well aware of the requirements, and ICANN provides an effective date that we then all comply with. 

Are there any significant concerns raised by registrars and registries regarding the implementation of this policy? If there are, then I think this is something for the IRT to consider. Nothing in the policy should be a surprise to contracted parties- this has been under discussion/consideration for almost 5 years now, and EPDP Phase 1 Final Report was approved by the ICANN Board in May 2019. 

If the implementers you are referring to are non-CPH, can you please provide some additional information regarding the nature of these concerns? I think this should be something the full IRT considers. 

Regards,

Owen

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.
