Dear Community:

Since I know many ALSes are not intimately familiar with the GNSO and the GNSO Policy Development Process, I have drawn up an informational document which describes both and includes the graphical representation of the process previously forwarded.

I hope you will find this helpful, especially when you are considering the draft resolutions which in the current draft call for a PDP to be initiated. The attached will help you understand what that means, and the other avenues associated with, and connected to, the full formal PDP process which can also be used, or which can be complimentary to, the full PDP process.

Note that French, Spanish, and Portuguese translations of the attached documents will be available next week.

All of these will be posted on the Wikis for the various regions as well and I will email those links when they are available.
