All,

One of the many parallel threads going on is the work being undertaken by the Policy & Implementation WG.

They have undertaken some initial work on common understanding of definitions which is nearing a final draft form.

I believe you may well find it helpful background to read through the draft definitions (Attached).

N.B.

These working definitions have been developed for the  limited use by the GNSO Policy & Implementation Working Group to facilitate their discussions and deliberations on the questions outlined in the working group’s charter. These definitions are expected to evolve as a result of the WG deliberations. At the end of the process, the WG is expected to review these definitions, add/update as deemed appropriate and include them in the Final Report.

Thanks.

Jonathan
