Hi Bruna,
Thank you for the question. As noted in the discussion, normally the presentation of the Project Plan to the GNSO Council is an AOB item that is not voted on or "approved". The update is presented for Council acknowledgement that it received the Project Plan from the DNSAM PDP 1 WG. The timeline adjustments were agreed to in the PDP WG and were adjusted from Oct-Nov 2027 to May-June 2027 for the overall completion representing 4-5 months reduction in the overall timeline. Due to the high level of interest in the topic, the workplan was presented in full to the Council for informational purposes only.
There was discussion during the agenda item about the timeline, however there is no further action required from Council at this point in time, and the acknowledgement of the workplan was conveyed back to the WG. Hope this helps.
Best,
Jen

Subject: [council] Re: Draft Minutes of the GNSO Council Meeting on 16 April 2026
Hello, John, and Council leadership,
I was going through the notes in light of the email recently sent by jen about a council suggestion that the PDP timeline is further reduced and i didnt find the place in which we reached consensus about it.
Maybe I am missing something procedure wise, but I had noted on the chat NCSG disagreement on further reducing the timeline and this doesnt seem to have been recorded on the meeting minutes too.
Therefore I just need to understand what the GNSO council final suggestion is: (a) cut 4-5 months from the original 18 months timeline or (b) reduce it to 6 months ?
Best,
Bruna
