The recording and transcript of the session can be found here <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0018j9kbm7N_uCANzySGnJGF6stS__e7a_XdthA_2v3--utA...> . NEXT STEPS The Working Group will finalize draft final recommendations taking into consideration the Working Group’s review of its summary documents and any additional deliberations that have taken place. For the schedule of topics that will be covered in July, please see the Working Group’s wiki <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0018j9kbm7N_uCANzySGnJGF6stS__e7a_XdthA_2v3--utA...>. The Working Group expects to complete this process in the coming weeks and then will open a public comment period on the draft Final Report. WHAT IS THIS ABOUT? In June 2014, the GNSO Council established a Discussion Group that was intended to evaluate the experiences of the 2012 round gTLD Program and to identify possible areas for future GNSO policy development. The Discussion Group’s deliverables <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0018j9kbm7N_uCANzySGnJGF6stS__e7a_XdthA_2v3--utA...> served as the basis for the GNSO Council request for a Preliminary Issue Report in June of 2015. Following the publication of the Final Issue Report <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0018j9kbm7N_uCANzySGnJGF6stS__e7a_XdthA_2v3--utA...>, the GNSO Council adopted the charter <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0018j9kbm7N_uCANzySGnJGF6stS__e7a_XdthA_2v3--utA...> for the PDP Working Group, which began its work in February 2016. The Working Group initially concentrated on a set of overarching issues. It later conducted deliberations on additional topics in its charter using five separate Work Tracks: Work Track 1 - Overall Process/Support/Outreach, Work Track 2 - Legal/Regulatory, Work Track 3: String Contention/Objections & Disputes, Work Track 4: Internationalized Domain Names/Technical & Operations, Work Track 5: Geographic Names at the Top Level. WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT? The Discussion Group identified a number of subjects that may require further analysis and possible formulation of policy language. There are existing policy recommendations adopted by the GNSO Council and ICANN Board, which will remain in place unless the PDP WG determines that changes are needed.
