In addition, I've updated the document with the final ATRT2 recommendations in relation to the topics under consideration. </div><div><br></div><div>It was also suggested that the Council could form a small group of interested Council members to work with staff on some of these items. As mentioned, for several of these, the proposed next step is for staff to gather further information and data following which we would come back to the GNSO Council for feedback and discussion of possible next steps. However, there are a couple of items for which further review of existing tools and activities has been suggested such as increase pool of PDP WG volunteers and improve online tools & training which could possibly benefit from a small group undertaking this work in collaboration with staff. </div><div><br></div><div>If there are any further comments and/or edits that you wish incorporated, please let me know. In the meantime, we'll continue with the implementation of the proposed next steps as outlined in the document pending those items that may require further discussion on how to proceed (i.e.whether a small group of interested Council members should be created to follow up on those items).</div><div><br></div><div>Best regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Marika</div></div></div></span></div>
