Thank you so much, George, and hello everybody, welcome to the Policy Development Process Working Group that’s been chartered by the GNSO Council to review all the rights protection mechanisms (RPMs) that have been developed for all gTLDs!

Staff will be working with our interim WG chair and Council liaison, Philip Corwin, to set up the first meeting of the Working Group, currently anticipated to be sometime around mid-April. Some of you will have already participated in previous GNSO Working Groups, while others may be less familiar with the procedures and expectations, so staff will also be scheduling a webinar at around the same time to go over the GNSO Policy Development Process (PDP) and the GNSO’s Working Group Guidelines.

In the meantime, given that there are indeed a large number of members and observers to this Working Group, it will be helpful if others follow George’s lead and take the opportunity to introduce yourselves, your expertise and interest in this PDP, to everyone via this email list. As with all GNSO mailing lists, all messages are publicly archived so you will be able to look up others’ (and your own) information and postings.

Finally, if you haven’t already filled in your Statement of Interest - which is one of the few requirements for participation in a GNSO Working Group - we would greatly appreciate it if you can do so at your earliest convenience. Please follow this link to either create a new SOI or update an existing one: https://community.icann.org/x/cYLg.



Thanks and cheers
Mary
