advised the ICANN Board that any curative rights process developed by this PDP Working Group “should be at no or nominal cost to IGOs” and that in developing an appropriate curative rights mechanism “the UDRP should not be amended.” These requests are at
some variance with the directives contained in the Working Group Charter, and the letter therefore requests that the Liaison engage in dialogue with the GAC regarding this matter and to encourage direct engagement by interested GAC members in the PDP. The
Liaison is awaiting further instructions from the Council as to how to proceed. </span></span><br>
