The working group recommended, and Council approved, that the work  
proceed as a series of scope-limited PDPs, where appropriate, to  
ensure that constant improvement was made possible and within the  
timelines of the PDP specified in the bylaws. The prioritization  
committee will set out to establish a calendar of specific topics  
that can be picked up by work under the PDP. Although it isn't  
explicit in our mandate, I had always assumed that if other transfers  
related PDP work needed to be prioritized, that the committee could  
take care of this as well.

So, I would expect a series of short, snappy policy development  
exercises on this topic instead of one big monolithic one that tries  
to address all of the issues in one fell swoop. We have seen that the  
latter approach doesn't seem to work particularly well (i.e. Whois)  
whereas the former has worked quite well.

I hope this helps clarify.
