Please see below (with emphasis added); it is Section 16 of the PDP Manual: "Approved GNSO Council policies may be modified or amended by the GNSO Council at any time prior to the final approval by the ICANN Board as follows: 1. 2. The PDP Team is reconvened or, if disbanded, reformed, and should be consulted with regards to the proposed amendments or modifications; 3. 4. The proposed amendments or modifications are posted for public comment for not less than thirty (30) days; 5. 6. The GNSO Council approves of such amendments or modifications with a Supermajority Vote of both Houses in favor." I hope this helps.
