Dear WG members, Please find below a proposed agenda for the upcoming WG call on Monday 15 September, which staff have suggested to our Co-Chairs but have not yet had a chance to discuss more fully. As such, it is subject to any changes that they may wish to make between now and our call: 1. Roll Call/Updates to SOIs 2. Review Work Plan (see attached Work Plan Extract and full Work Plan Chart on which the Extract is based; we will use the Extract to walk the WG through each proposed phase on Monday) 3. Discuss outcomes of prior research (see the list on the WG wiki space at https://community.icann.org/x/DrvhAg, as further explained below) 4. Next steps For agenda item #3, we have added some documents comprising research, findings and other reports used by the original IGO-INGO PDP WG for its Final Report that was issued in November 2013. Among the documents added, WG members may wish to note in particular:
