<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D">Thank you for the draft list of definitions, Jonathan.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D">It´s quite revealing to know that “GNSO consensus policies” and at large, ICANN consensus policies are not policies struck at necessarily by consensus (agreement) but, rather, with the participation
of all stakeholders. The term encompasses a process to pass policies –which is described at Annex A of the Bylaws and the PDP Manual and which specifies several majority options to approve policies- and a list of matters on which a PDP is feasible, which are
included in the sections called “consensus policies and temporary policies” in the Registrar and Registry agreements with ICANN.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D">One last remark pertaining to the “GAC engagement on the GNSO Policy Development Process” table: the dictionaries I´ve looked up explain that “birds of a feather” is part of a proverb which means
that people who think alike or belong to the same class or have similar habits end up being friends or a team. That leads me to think that when the table uses this expression is thinking of an homogenous group of GAC members, what would be out of any logic
since the GNSO would only have the vision of like-minded members of the GAC. Please, tell me if my understanding is correct.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D">A more general request I would make is to try to use plain simple English being mindful of the difficulties and misunderstandings language may cause in non-native speakers, as I´ve seen the ATRT
2 report advises. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D">I hope you have a fruitful call.

<p class="MsoNormal">One of the many parallel threads going on is the work being undertaken by the Policy & Implementation WG.

<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">They have undertaken some initial work on common understanding of definitions which is nearing a final draft form.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I believe you may well find it helpful background to read through the draft definitions (Attached).

<p class="MsoNormal"><i>These working definitions have been developed for the limited use by the GNSO Policy & Implementation Working Group to facilitate their discussions and deliberations on the questions outlined in the working group’s charter. These definitions
are expected to evolve as a result of the WG deliberations. At the end of the process, the WG is expected to review these definitions, add/update as deemed appropriate and include them in the Final Report.
