Dear ALAC,

in my capacity as GNSO Liaison, I am forwarding you the latest version of the Charter for the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP. As you know, the Charter often directs the limits of the work.
This proposed charter is a red-line copy, which means it incorporates comments made in the last public consultation, primarily a concern that another PDP on Rights Protection Mechanism might duplicate work here. Coordination between the different PDPs will be needed.
If you have any feedback that I might need to let the Charter drafting Team know, please email me in time for the GNSO Council Call on 21 January.
Kindest regards,

Olivier

Dear Councilors,

As was agreed on the 17 December GNSO Council call, staff has worked with Susan, Philip, and Paul to develop the attached proposed red-lined changes to the Charter for New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP. This amended language is intended to avoid any ambiguity in regards to Rights Protection Mechanisms (RPMs) related activities for the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP. In particular:

RPM related topics can be discussed, but proposing recommendations directly concerning RPMs is beyond the remit of this PDP.
A community liaison should be jointly appointed by the two PDP Working Groups (i.e., New gTLD Subsequent Procedures and RPMs) and confirmed by the GNSO Council in order to promote effective collaboration and coordination,

Discussion on these proposed changes is welcomed and encouraged. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Best,

Steve
