An alternative wording for the last sentence is:

The purpose of the dialogue should be to seek, to the extent reasonably
possible, a balance of privacy and law enforcement concerns with ICANN's
mission and core values, and may also consider the views of data
protection authorities, the policies and rules of access to ccTLD data,
and relevant national laws.
