The Report will form part of the consent agenda for the next Council meeting on 24 September 2015. Please note that the Report is prepared by staff, summarises the PDP works, details the recommendations, contains links to the various public comment fora, and generally brings together different aspects of the work that have gone into the PDP, as prescribed by the PDP Manual. </div><div class="x-message" title="XMPP 09:35" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 14px; word-wrap: break-word; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; margin-left: 30px; padding-top: 2px;"><br></div><div class="x-message" title="XMPP 09:35" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 14px; word-wrap: break-word; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; margin-left: 30px; padding-top: 2px;">The Recommendations Report is part of the documents that the Board requires before considering the recommendations. Because of the timeline, staff will submit the Report to the Board in the next days, with the explicit caveat that the Report still awaits GNSO Council approval. This will mean that if there are no (or only minor) changes, the Board will be able to consider the recommendations at its meeting on 28 September. If major changes are required following the next GNSO Council meeting, the Board will consider the issue in Dublin.</div><div class="x-message" title="XMPP 09:35" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 14px; word-wrap: break-word; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; margin-left: 30px; padding-top: 2px;"><br></div><div class="x-message" title="XMPP 09:35" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 14px; word-wrap: break-word; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; margin-left: 30px; padding-top: 2px;">If you have any questions regarding the procedure or the Report itself, please feel free to get in touch at any time.</div><div class="x-message" title="XMPP 09:35" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 14px; word-wrap: break-word; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; margin-left: 30px; padding-top: 2px;">Very best wishes,</div><div class="x-message" title="XMPP 09:35" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 14px; word-wrap: break-word; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; margin-left: 30px; padding-top: 2px;">Lars</div></div><div class="x-message" title="XMPP 09:35" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 14px; word-wrap: break-word; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; margin-left: 30px; padding-top: 2px;"><br></div><div class="x-message" title="XMPP 09:35" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 14px; word-wrap: break-word; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; margin-left: 30px; padding-top: 2px;"><br></div><div class="x-message" title="XMPP 09:35" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 14px; word-wrap: break-word; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; margin-left: 30px; padding-top: 2px;"><br></div></body></html>
