This report focuses exclusively on the issue of geographic names at the top level. Work Track 5 did not hold meetings in December in order to encourage members to focus on drafting comments on the Initial Report. NEXT STEPS Full Working Group and Sub Groups A, B, and C The full Working Group has meetings scheduled for 7 January and 22 January to continue its discussion of items referred from the Sub Groups. Each of the Sub Groups will continue to meet weekly in January. With the closure of the public comment period for the supplemental Initial Report, staff will produce a Report of Public Comments summarizing the input received. Work Track 5 The Work Track 5 Co-Leaders will hold a webinar for the community on Wednesday 9 January at 20:00 UTC for 60 minutes. The purpose of the webinar is to provide an overview of the Work Track 5 supplemental Initial Report and answer questions from community members about the report. The webinar will notinclude debate on substantive issues contained in the report. All are welcome to attend the webinar.

In June 2014, the GNSO Council established a Discussion Group that was intended to evaluate the experiences of the 2012 round gTLD Program and to identify possible areas for future GNSO policy development. The Discussion Group’s deliverables <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001iTaPb599Oe2dF3krMDKHNeTpTiwrYsb2nJ3A_9LS_5Po4n4Ye8juD5u3bzWqDarMxmLQnIA45KVtUgwEB7XSRlSRhxiqPQXEcRdHyWOrdDp3rssF5pE2O5iCHjjaNHEB6KU3afX5S1KTvvMKrfcEVu12g384HjhPqzq1-C8D9Gj6sDAGjSByR5UyhkHrXTcGUrRonDVD9aUXB32oFgJp8myAGle9yVS5fi4JYkJ01ORAyTHK6FQ_cl0jVX6u2n9LNnQhniCNZFk=&c=c3ngjKWqDxk3fTI3UrtFHI0HbjhOTKm3eIJxzJfrNYJjXOgalNsT4A==&ch=Cy5cP9i6j2r80myWN1_mJWHF_-4dhS7K36dWo4n2tRjOMtprRqqSnA==>served as the basis for the GNSO Council request for a Preliminary Issue Report in June of 2015. Following the publication of the Final Issue Report <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001iTaPb599Oe2dF3krMDKHNeTpTiwrYsb2nJ3A_9LS_5Po4...>, the GNSO Council adopted the charter <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001iTaPb599Oe2dF3krMDKHNeTpTiwrYsb2nJ3A_9LS_5Po4n4Ye8juD5u3bzWqDarMBCd0SdXYQWjA2nqJ59hEIfrSzg3OVSLVvLvmplueT8wvK9S093SqYVFyd1DD0LInPqZYdPgKIVBq9F_Xrsgh113YcNpGH1WzVY_Tu0u84vlPBt6tsq-TrUjlaghmnriO_wuNzoG0ZPc=&c=c3ngjKWqDxk3fTI3UrtFHI0HbjhOTKm3eIJxzJfrNYJjXOgalNsT4A==&ch=Cy5cP9i6j2r80myWN1_mJWHF_-4dhS7K36dWo4n2tRjOMtprRqqSnA==>for the PDP Working Group, which began its work in February 2016. The Working Group initially concentrated on a set of overarching issues. It later conducted deliberations on additional topics in its charter using five separate Work Tracks: Work Track 1 - Overall Process/Support/Outreach, Work Track 2 - Legal/Regulatory, Work Track 3: String Contention/Objections & Disputes, Work Track 4: Internationalized Domain Names/Technical & Operations, Work Track 5: Geographic Names at the Top Level. WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT? The Discussion Group identified a number of subjects that may require further analysis and possible formulation of policy language. There are existing policy recommendations adopted by the GNSO Council and ICANN Board, which will remain in place unless the PDP WG determines that changes are needed.
