Yes, as I said in my other message with the subject "Privacy Issue", the GDPR is just one of many privacy issues that ICANN needs to address. This recommendation was just to brief us on ICANN's current plans regarding GDPR. Alan At 15/08/2017 03:31 AM, Dmitry Belyavsky wrote:

Unless I hear that it is not the wish of the RT, I would like to ask ICANN to brief the RT on exactly what ICANN is doing and how it will address the concerns. My hope is that we could arrange such a briefing for our call of 31 August 2017. Whether that is practical or not I cannot say until the request is made.

Is there anyone who believes that this should not be requested?

I totally agree with you request. But it is worth mentioning that GDPR is not the only legislation privacy-related requirement to be addressed.
