Because the outcome of a PDP is uncertain (it is possible that no
recommendation will be produced or that the PDP will take years to
conclude), the implementation activities will continue to be pursued in
parallel with the GNSO’s PDP activities. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

work Staff are doing on this for the DAG would continue whether (I hesitate to
use the term "despite") the Council initiated a PDP or not?<o:p></o:p></p>
