Remark on Project Plan of the EPDPTBA

On 17 Nov 2022, GNSO Council approved the EPDP's Project Change Request (PCR). With this PCR, the EPDP seeks to facilitate the implementation planning of the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures by bifurcating its work into two phases, with Phase 1 covering topics related to top-level IDN gTLD definition and variant management, and Phase 2 covering issues pertaining to second-level IDN variant management, which also requires a timeline extension due to the diversity and complexity of IDN issues, additional data collection needs, review of ICANN org input for draft recommendations, and public comment-related processes. The timeline now contemplated is:

• Publish Phase 1 Initial Report for Public Comment by April 2023
• Submit Phase 1 Final Report to the GNSO Council by November 2023
• Publish Phase 2 Initial Report for Public Comment by April 2025
• Submit Phase 2 Final Report to the GNSO Council by November 2025
