Dear LD PDP WG,

I am pleased to share with you a “small” package for your enjoyment over the Christmas holidays. The Draft Initial Report has completed its initial Leadership review and is now ready for your eagle-eyed review.

Please find below the materials and instructions for the review process:

1. Draft Initial Report in google doc. version (viewer mode only): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XMY_VAu8MFqVuV4rg1U8dgEv_nMyBfAcF9c2fweSHm8/edit?usp=sharing
2. Guided Review Form – Please read the instructions carefully and provide your input directly in the form, using “suggestion” mode only if you have any feedback on the Draft Initial Report: https://docs.google.com/document/d/13AIJzWHczsJsz683zHAk6GL3uS6Gy_p7vtwC39WhGJU/edit?usp=sharing

Please note that, contrary to the Work Plan, we kindly request that your review and input be provided by Wednesday, 7 January 2026, at 23:59 UTC, which is one day earlier than previously announced. This will allow Staff sufficient time to consolidate feedback, incorporate revisions as necessary, and prepare for the next steps – Open Proceeding for Public Comment – by Monday, 12 January 2026.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Until then, happy reading and happy holidays!

Season’s Greetings and best wishes for the New Year,

Saewon
