<div>Dear Councilors,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please find attached for your review a Recommendations Report from the GNSO Council to the ICANN Board concerning the recently-adopted PDP recommendations on privacy and proxy services accreditation issues. As you’ll recall, this Report is mandated by
the ICANN Bylaws, and upon your approval it will be transmitted to the ICANN Board along with the Final Report (containing in full all the recommendations) from the PDP Working Group.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You may be interested also to know that, again as mandated by the ICANN Bylaws, a public comment forum has just been opened to give the public a reasonable opportunity to comment on the recommendations prior to any action by the ICANN Board: <a href="https://www.icann.org/public-comments/ppsai-recommendations-2016-02-05-en">https://www.icann.org/public-comments/ppsai-recommendations-2016-02-05-en</a>.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It is anticipated that approval of this Recommendations Report will be on the Council’s agenda for the 18 February meeting.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks and cheers</div>
<div>Mary</div>
