<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailEndCompose"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I agree that the letter is not the most clear on this. Steve is likely referring to what commitments were made to the GAC on what
<u>must</u> be completed prior to starting another application window. Those commitments are the Root Zone study (CDAR Report) which was completed as well as the reports on the Trademark Clearinghouse (by the Analysis Group) as well as the CCT-RT activities.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

The two PDPs technically (SubPro and RPM Review) were not included as pre-requisites to initiation of the next application window. In theory the completion of these PDFs are not required to be completed by the Board before the next “round”, but I am sure that
many of the community believe that these are still important inputs into the process.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
