<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>It
seems to me that for an issue like this that will be somewhat complicated,
making a decision on initiating a PDP within as little as 13 days of
receiving the issues report may be challenging, and even more so this time of
year.  Also, we will not have finished our project prioritization exercise
by then.  On the other hand, to the extent that a PDP could
possibly result in delays of the introduction of new gTLDs, I think
we don't want to contribute to any more delays if
avoidable.  <o:p></o:p></span></p>
