Planning Process includes consideration of attributes and characteristics of
ICANN's community structures and processes, engagement of end-users, and other
issues. Both of these activities will require dedicated participation by the
GNSO, and may have implications for the GNSO review.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
