In Phase 2, the EPDP team was tasked with addressing open issues left unresolved from Phase 1, addressing issues listed in the Annex to the Temporary Specification,<ref>[https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/gtld-registration-data-specs-en/#annex ICANN.org - Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data: Annex-Important Issues for Further Community Action]</ref> and developing a standardized access system for nonpublic registration data.<ref name="finalrep">[https://gnso.icann.org/en/correspondence/epdp-phase-2-temp-spec-gtld-registration-data-2-31jul20-en.pdf GNSO Archive - EPDP Temp Spec Phase 2 Final Report], July 31, 2020</ref>  The team's Initial Report was published for public comment in February 2020<ref name="2initrep">[https://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/epdp-phase-2-initial-07feb20-en.pdf GNSO Archive - EPDP Temp Spec Phase 2 Initial Report], February 7, 2020 (PDF)</ref> The report outlined a proposed model for SSAD, where requests were sent to a centralized clearinghouse, and then action up on responses to were taken up by each contracted party, as applicable.

Neither model appeared to meet all the needs of a trusted system.<ref name="finalrep">

 

The team's Initial Report was published for public comment in February 2020<ref name="2initrep">[https://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/epdp-phase-2-initial-07feb20-en.pdf GNSO Archive - EPDP Temp Spec Phase 2 Initial Report], February 7, 2020 (PDF)</ref> The report outlined a proposed hybrid model for SSAD, where requests were sent to a centralized clearinghouse, and then action on requests, decisions, and disclosure of requested information were taken up by each contracted party, as applicable. The model was based on the following broad principles:

* Ideally, receipt, authentication, and transmission of SSAD requests should be automated wherever feasible. Disclosure decisions may be automated to the extent feasible, but should be standardized as much as possible across decisions.

* Ideally, receipt, authentication, and transmission of SSAD requests should be automated wherever feasible. Disclosure decisions may be automated to the extent feasible, but should be standardized as much as possible across decisions.

* SSAD should be subject to continuous improvement, via a method of review and improvement that operates within the policies outlined by the EPDP, ICANN Bylaws, GNSO procedures & guidelines, and data protection legislation and regulation.
