Dear T/T IRT Members,

I hope this message finds you well. 

As you know, the implementation of the T/T IRT has been on hold since 2019 as we have awaited clarity on a variety of EPDP-related activities. With the completion of certain portions of EPDP work, the GNSO Council has asked ICANN org to gauge our ability, and the IRT members’ capacity, to undertake additional work on this effort.

The GNSO Council as well as ICANN org will need to assess bandwidth and priorities to determine what can be supported. We are writing at the Council’s request to gauge your interest and ability to re-engage in work related to this IRT should this be determined to proceed. 

We ask that if you would wish to continue participation in future work, please respond (off list to me at michael.karakash@icann.org) affirmatively to indicate your interest by Wednesday, 09 June. We will provide this numerical data to the GNSO Council to inform its deliberations.  

Please contact me with any questions, and thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Best,

Michael Karakash
