<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN" style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">GAC leadership recognizes the five year community effort to develop the SubPro PDP WG Final Report. Pursuant to Jeff’s call with Jorge Cancio (GAC representative from Switzerland,
GAC Vice-Chair and GAC/GNSO point of contact) on January 29th, GAC leadership agreed to share preliminary reactions, if any, from GAC membership on the SubPro PDP WG Final Report before the upcoming GNSO Council meeting (and potential vote) to be held on the
18 February 2021. In this sense, we would like to share with you some informal feedback we have received from some GAC members for your consideration.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN" style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">First and foremost, please note that GAC membership is still in the process of analyzing the SubPro PDP WG Final Report. Nonetheless GAC leadership has received some internal questions
seeking clarifications on aspects of the final report as they are related to prior GAC positions.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN" style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">As to substance, it has been highlighted by some GAC members that there seems to be a number of areas where GAC input has in their view not been fully considered, which may result
in proposals for potential GAC Advice thereon, subject to consensus. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
