Resending as I mistakenly put Volker on this email as opposed to Donna. Sorry for the duplication.

Subject: Letter from Steve Crocker to GNSO Council Chair

All,

I came across this letter in passing and thought it was useful to send to the group as it relates to our work. One of the items I would like to ask each work track to think about is the key question raised here:, namely within the work tracks, “Are there a set of critical issues that can be identified to be addressed prior to a new application process?” Or, is it the view of the Community that the entire PDP must be completed prior to a new process?

I believe the identification of these issues is a critical first step of the work tracks and will help to produce work plans for the respective tracks. I am cc’ing GNSO Council leadership on this email to keep them in the loop.

Best regards,
