<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">In addition to the Action Items circulated by Amr, you may wish to review the draft updated Work Plan for the remainder of Phase One of our PDP work. This has been updated slightly following the meeting on
Wednesday, when a suggestion was made that we try to alternate Sub Team meetings with full Working Group calls, to alleviate the burden on those Working Group members participating in the Sub Teams and in consideration of the fact that we are – for the present,
up to ICANN59 – moving to mostly 90-minute (and occasional 120-minute) calls.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">A few Working Group members noted during the Wednesday call that, while we need to make progress on our work and this can be facilitated by having longer calls, the decision to move to 90 or 120 minute calls
should be made in consultation with the full Working Group. As such, please reply to the mailing list if, after reviewing the draft updated Work Plan, you have any objections to moving to longer calls from now up to ICANN59.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
