Background
Phase 1 of the EPDP concluded in May 2019, when the ICANN Board adopted the EPDP Team's Phase 1 Final Report, with the exception of parts of two recommendations. See background of the EPDP and its Phase 1 work here. In conjunction with the adoption of the Final Report, the GNSO Council provided the non-objection for the EPDP Team to commence its work on Phase 2 of the charter.
Phase 2 of the EPDP Team's work included deliberation on the following items:
- A system for Standardized Access/Disclosure (SSAD) to nonpublic registration data.
- Issues noted in the Annex to the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data ("Important Issues for Further Community Action")
- Issues deferred from Phase 1, such as legal vs. natural persons, redaction of city field, etc.
For further details of the Phase 2 scope, please see here.
The EPDP Phase 2 Team submitted its Final Report to the GNSO Council on 31 July 2020. The GNSO Council will begin discussion of the Final Report during its meeting on 24 September 2020.
