with relatively minimal effort, 2) which elements could be implemented with some effort, 3) which elements need careful planning and consideration before these can be implemented. It is envisioned in the paper that going forward, progress on these different
initiatives could be tracked through a PDP improvements tracker to ensure oversight and allow for forward planning which can factor in these commitments. The GNSO Council discussed the discussion paper and agreed that to better understand the concept, it would
