Dear DNS Abuse PDP 1 Charter Drafting Team,

As a reminder, our last and final charter drafting session will begin tomorrow 19 December at 14:00 UTC, with the goal of finalizing the Charter and agreeing to the membership model. Given the time constraint, we would ask all members to review the documents below and focus in for discussion only on can’t live with items. Recalling Jen’s earlier email to the team, the Charter drafting leadership has taken the time to reflect on the discussion and feedback received and provides the group with a proposal for a way forward that seeks to address most of the concerns and allow for a well-functioning WG and PDP. Please find the proposal here:

Ultimately, we hope to resolve outstanding issues, and we appreciate engagement by the team members on list and in the documents.

As a reminder from our previous Action Items for Friday’s meeting:

Action Items (Monday 15 December)

Councilors to Review the updated charter questions and redlines. Provide specific proposed text and rationale for any suggested changes, particularly where concerns exist about scope, safeguards, or impacts.
- to clarify that triggers are tied to DNS abuse cases, without embedding PDP answers in the question text.
- to address potential overlap between questions on association criteria and investigation steps, including possible consolidation.
- ensure questions on data access and privacy safeguards explicitly consider impacts on registrants and end users, and potential remedies.
Deadline for final input Friday 19 December.

Action Items (Tuesday 16 December)

1. Small Team to consult with their respective groups on membership model preference and seat allocation proposal

2. Sam to work on a Google document outlining potential mechanisms (e.g., special sessions, input channels, guardrails) to address openness and community input

3. During the next meeting, the group is expected to:

i. Decide on the membership model

ii. Progress toward resolving concerns with the seat allocation

iii. Discuss pending comments on the draft charter

Thank you,
