Many thanks Suzanne for your timely suggestion, as Jonathan and I have assumed the responsibility of getting back to the group with proposed slides for London .. Your suggestion aligns with my thinking, which I also have to admit not having the chance to discuss with Jonathan yet .. I assume, when you mention 'the two first steps' that you mean the first 2 phases 'Issues scoping' and 'Issue Report' .. Hope I'm right .. Here is one way to go about it: 1. One slide to introduce the PDP work track 2. A second slide with the GNSO PDP diagram, with circles to indicate the phases or stages, as you have proposed (would be helpful if you or Marika could kindly confirm the exact diagram) 3. A third slide on the group's proposal regarding new/enhanced GAC engagement opportunities/mechanisms during phase 1 (Issue Scoping), which should basically conclude our discussion, in light of answers provided to the posed questions and suggestions proposed to address raised issues (this still needs to be further discussed and concluded) 4. A fourth similar slide for phase 2 (Issue Report) 5. A fifth & final one covering what we expect from our constituencies in London: for example, GAC/GNSO approval to proceed as suggested, concrete responses to specific questions, ... etc Suzanne, let me know what you think .. Would also appreciate thoughts from other colleagues ..

Thanks, Manal and Jonathan. I must offer apologies for missing today's call, as I need to be in a briefing for Larry Strickling at 9:30. I did want to offer a suggestion for the group to consider, with the full disclosure that Amr and I have not had a chance to compare notes on this as yet. In thinking about how to present our work to date on the PDP process, it struck me that we might want to reduce the document we are using as a working document to a cover sheet that uses the GNSO graph (with circles to indicate the phases or stages), with a red line or some other means of identifying that we're focusing at the outset on the two first steps; the parts of the text that address just those steps could follow. Thanks for considering this idea, and please feel free to discard it if others don't agree. Thanks to Marika and Olof for preparing the survey; think it's very helpful.
