Hi Jen SubPro considered and addressed this scenario and made the following recommendations, supported by a rationale: SubPro Recommendation 3.6: Absent extraordinary circumstances, future reviews and/or policy development processes, including the next Competition, Consumer Choice & Consumer Trust (CCT) Review, should take place concurrently with subsequent application rounds. In other words, future reviews and/or policy development processes must not stop or delay subsequent new gTLD rounds. Recommendation 3.7: If the outputs of any reviews and/or policy development processes has, or could reasonably have, a material impact on the manner in which application procedures are conducted, such changes must only apply to the opening of the application procedure subsequent to the adoption of the relevant recommendations by the ICANN Board. Rationale for Recommendations 3.5-3.7: When feasible, application opportunities should be available at regular intervals. The Working Group believes that reviewing the New gTLD Program on a regular, ongoing basis is also important, but in support of predictability, does not believe that subsequent procedures should be paused pending input from reviews or PDPs unless extraordinary circumstances dictate that this is necessary. In line with those recommendation, once the PDP completes its work and the recommendations are adopted, then they get applied to the next available round. I don't think Council can set that aside, if indeed that is the intent of your change. I recommend we stick with the original text.

Hi Susan - would it be right to amend to say that the results of the PDP will be governed by the terms of Sub Pro Recommendations 3.6 and 3.7? And would this accomplish Jen's purpose?
