<html><head></head><body>Hi Stephanie,<div class=""><br class=""/></div><div class="">Wouldn’t having a F2F with the Board be an ideal opportunity to get some kind of reaction from them on why they’re being so cagey on questions we need answered on the EPDP? Why, since August 2018, have we been unable to get a clear answer from them on what kind of data protection agreement they might be willing to enter in to with Contracted Parties, what role they would find acceptable for ICANN to play in terms of disclosure of redacted personal data in the RDDS, what kind of liability/responsibility they see ICANN taking on?</div><div class=""><br class=""/></div><div class="">Even if they still don’t, after all this time, have definitive answers to any of these questions, can’t they be at least asked to provide some kind of insight in to where they think things might go? All we know is that they are speaking to authorities in the EU/EC about this, but we don’t really know much more than that. What model, at this time, do they believe might be a more workable one?</div><div class=""><br class=""/></div><div class="">The NCSG asking this question might either turn out to be redundant, should they provide an answer to the letter the EPDP Team sent them yesterday, or it might reinforce the need to answer it. Having them in the same room might help?</div><div class=""><br class=""/></div><div class="">Thanks.</div><div class=""><br class=""/></div><div class="">Amr<br class=""/><div><br class=""/><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Oct 10, 2019, at 9:33 PM, Stephanie Perrin <<a href="mailto:stephanie.perrin@MAIL.UTORONTO.CA" class="">stephanie.perrin@MAIL.UTORONTO.CA</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"/><div class=""><div class="moz-forward-container" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: TrebuchetMS; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"/>Just a reminder folks, I have to have a topic to discuss with the Board by close of day Monday.
