<span style="font-size:9.0pt;color:black">Under its Charter requirements, the Working Group took into account outputs of concluded efforts (for example the Competition, Consumer Trust and Consumer Choice Review (CCT) and the Cross Community Working Group on
the Use of Country and Territory Names (CCWG-UCTN) ) and coordinated its work with other relevant efforts that ran concurrently (for example the Review of All Rights Protection Mechanism in All gTLDs (<span class="spellchecktypo">RPMs</span>) Policy Development
Process and the Name Collision Analysis Project (NCAP) ). In its resolution approving the PDP’s Outputs, the GNSO Council requested that “the ICANN Board consider and direct the implementation of the Outputs adopted by the GNSO Council without waiting for
any other proposed or ongoing policy work unspecific to New gTLD Subsequent Procedures to conclude, while acknowledging the importance of such work.” <span style="background:yellow">Drawing on the ODP assessment, the Board may consider the extent to which
it is feasible to advance implementation of subsequent procedures independent of any other relevant community work, such as the impending Expedited Policy Development Process (EPDP) focused on Internationalized Domain Names (<span class="spellchecktypo">IDNs</span>)
