Hello Avri,

...

Instead the process as set out in the ICANN bylaws should be:

- WIPO recommends new policy to GAC - GAC advises Board of WIPO recommendation - Board requests that the GNSO commence a PDP

has the Board done so? or do we expect them to?

Not yet. The Board did arrange for a working group to be formed but this was outside of the PDP process. We don't need to wait for the Board to send us a request, the GNSO itself can decide to conduct a PDP. Regards, Bruce
