Dear All, In preparation for agenda item 8 (Transitioning existing Policy Development Process (PDP) work to the new PDP procedures) on the GNSO Council agenda for tomorrow, please find attached an overview which compares the old GNSO PDP with the new GNSO PDP, which was adopted by the ICANN Board at its meeting on 8 December. In addition, the status of each of the ongoing PDPs has been highlighted throughout the document, so that it should become easier for the GNSO Council to assess what the next step would be for each of the PDPs should they continue on the old or the new track. There might not be an opportunity to go into great detail with regards to the differences and new elements of the new PDP at tomorrow's call, but should there be an interest from Council members and/or Stakeholder Groups / Constituencies, Staff would be more than happy to organize a dedicated session on this topic. If you have any questions, please let me know. With best regards, Marika
