<p class="MsoNormal">In March of this year the RDS PDP leadership team canceled working group meetings, effectively putting the group on hold. This decision was made because we heard from ICANN org that it was considering instituting a temporary policy that
would greatly impact our work. Out of respect for members’ time it didn’t make sense to continue deliberations.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Since then, the ICANN board did approve a temporary specification (<a href="https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/gtld-registration-data-specs-en" target="_blank">https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/gtld-registration-data-specs-en</a>). Subsequent to
that, the GNSO council initiated an expedited PDP on that temporary specification (<a href="https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2018-07-19-en" target="_blank">https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2018-07-19-en</a>).<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Given all this, the RDS PDP leadership team feels it doesn’t make sense for the working group to continue and is recommending termination. The GNSO PDP manual allows for termination by the working group and requires a written “Termination
Summary” delivered to the GNSO council via the council liaison. The manual provides “changing circumstances” as an example of a reason for termination which this certainly qualifies as.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Attached you will find a proposed “Termination Summary” for the RDS PDP working group. The leadership team plans to deliver by 12 October so the GNSO council can have it on their agenda for ICANN 63. Please let the leadership team know
if you have questions or feedback.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Many thanks for your hard work on this project.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Best,<br>
RDS Leadership team<u></u><u></u></p>
