Dear all,</div>

</div>
<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
Further to James’ email below and to facilitate your review of the proposed Charter, here are some notes that we hope are helpful. They are based on our (staff) understanding of some of the points raised in discussions about the New gTLDs Subsequent Procedures
Charter as well as the scope of this proposed RPM PDP:</div>
<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<br>
</div>
<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
(1) <u>This draft RPM Charter contains the following references to the New gTLDs Subsequent Procedures PDP</u>: </div>
<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<br>
</div>
<div>
<blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 40px; border:none; padding:0px;">
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"><i>"In the course of its work, the Working Group should monitor the progress of and, where appropriate, coordinate with, other ICANN groups that are working on topics that may overlap with or otherwise provide useful input
to this PDP. Especially, this PDP Working Group shall maintain a close working relationship with the Competition, Consumer Trust and Consumer Choice Review Team (CCT) and the PDP Working Group on New gTLDs Subsequent Procedures”.</i></font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"><i><br>
</i></font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"><i>"In addition, the GNSO Council, as the manager of the policy development process, should be kept informed at all times about coordination efforts with the CCT Review Team and the PDP on New gTLD Subsequent Procedures.
It is thus the Council who, in case of conflict between these groups, is to take appropriate action to align work processes if and when necessary.”</i></font></div>
</blockquote>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">There is also a specific reference to the appointment of a liaison between the two PDP Working Groups (mirroring what is in the Charter that was approved for the New gTLDs Subsequent Procedures PDP). However, because that
Charter explicitly notes that RPM review is beyond its remit, being more appropriate for the RPM PDP, we did not repeat that language in the RPM draft Charter.</font></div>
</div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">(2) <u>There is now an Attachment to the Charter that comprises a list of the community-identified issues that were raised in various public comment forums regarding RPM review</u>. The Attachment is based on the list originally
included in the Final Issue Report as Annex B, updated to include additional issues noted by various community groups in the public comment forum. We thought also that specifically creating this attachment to be part of the Charter would make it easier for
the WG, Council and community to see the scope of the RPM PDP “at a glance”.</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">Please let us know if you have any questions about the updated draft Charter.</font></div>

raised concerns with one or more aspects of the Draft Charter on behalf of their SG/C, and we need to make sure these are comprehensively addressed before proceeding. For this reason, I am
<b><u>not</u></b> advancing the second motion (Adoption of the PDP WG Charter) at this time, but it can be a point of discussion during our meeting.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

limited to the UDRP) are needed and, if so, what they should be. The outcome of the PDP may lead to (i) amendments or replacement of existing policies, principles or procedures; (ii) the development of new or additional policy recommendations; and/or (iii)
the creation of new implementation guidance to supplement existing policies or procedures.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
