Dear all: I think the updated version of the document looks great, and would only add one inquiry to the Working Group phase of the PDP, namely whether it is possible to create a neutral party, possibly within ICANN staff, charged with flagging any PDPs with clear public policy implications for the GAC. The aim is to lighten their load in making sure that PDPs with obvious policy implications, such as the recently initiated Privacy and Proxy Services Accreditation PDP, do not slip through any cracks. It would be great to hear views on this suggestion. Thank you, Brian Brian J.
