I¹ll look into seeing if that is possible moving forward. I certainly understand that the PDF I provided is difficult to view.

Attached, please find the following documents: * A Gantt chart to illustrate a work plan that allows this group to deliver its outputs to the GNSO Council prior to ICANN53 in Buenos Aires. * An executive summary document that provides a limited amount of the history on the original PDP, the current state of the New gTLD program, and a description of the proposed deliverables to be developed by this group. * Staff has taken the liberty of preparing a first draft of a matrix to assign the issues identified by this group to their logical place, if one exists, within the original GNSO recommendations. Where an issue may not relate to any existing policy recommendation, it can be found on the second tab, which highlights areas for potential new policy work. This document is staff¹s attempt at structuring the deliberations of the DG to date and putting them into a constructive format to analyze how the issues should be tackled (e.g., new policy, update to existing policy language, implementation guidance, etc.). Hopefully the DG finds this document useful, but it is of course up to the group to determine if this document is worthy of acting as a starting basis or if deliberations should start from a clean slate.
* In the matrix, staff has noted where it believes the areas described in the Board Resolution from 17 November 2014 (https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/resolutions-annex-a-17nov14-en.p... f <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/resolutions-annex-a-17nov14-en.p... f> ) fall into the existing recommendations (or is beyond the scope of those recommendations), but has not incorporated any of the opinions found in that document. * Staff has also not incorporated the input received from GDD staff. I look forward to discussing these materials on our call on Monday 02 March at 15:00 UTC.
