<div style="FONT-FAMILY: Calibri, sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 14px">As we discussed on today's call, J. Scott has proposed a clarification to the footnote text for the PDP Manual, Section 15, on Suspending a PDP. Please review the revised following text with the
change in bold all caps:</div>

<div>"Suspension is a <b>STATED </b>time interval during which there is a temporary cessation of the PDP, i.e. all activities are halted upon a decision of the GNSO Council until further notice. A mere change in milestones or schedule of the PDP is not considered
a suspension."</div>
