<p class="MsoNormal">Please see below the schedule of RPM PDP Working Group (WG) and Sub Team meetings at ICANN64. In particular, please note that
<span style="color:black">the Sub Team will provide a progress report on its analysis of previously collected data and additional data to the full WG in session 1 at ICANN64, and turn to the development of preliminary recommendations in Session 4. (The Sunrise
Sub Team will use Sessions 2 and 3 for its development of preliminary recommendations.) The Summary Tables/Reports of the Sub Team’s analysis
