Dear Councilors,

As agreed on today’s Council call, please bring the outcome from the drafting group regarding the IRTP PDP on Clarification of Reasons for Denial to your Constituencies’ attention for any position preparations needed. The topic will be addressed at the next Council call, 4 September, with a view to finalize the PDP with a vote on a Council recommendation regarding new text proposals for Denial Reasons #8 and #9. For details, see below or see the final draft from the drafting group at http://gnso.icann.org/issues/transfers/gnso-final-draft-denial-reasons-04jun08.pdf

Thanks

Olof
