<p style="margin:0in;background:white"><span style="color:black;background:white">The Council agreed that it should explore finding avenues to complete that level of substantive work in advance of the expected IRT that would be convened upon ICANN Board adoption

<p style="margin:0in;background:white"><span style="color:black">During the Council’s meeting in November 2020, it voted to approve a deferral for the request of a Policy Status Report (PSR) for the
<a href="https://www.icann.org/en/resources/registrars/accreditation/eddp"><span style="color:#1155CC">Expired Domain Deletion Policy</span></a> (EDDP) and the
<a href="https://www.icann.org/en/resources/registrars/consensus-policies/errp"><span style="color:#1155CC">Expired Registration Recovery Policy</span></a> (ERRP). The EDDP
</span><span style="color:#333333;background:#FEFEFE">defines a uniform delete practice that registrars must follow at the time of domain name expiry, as well as specific requirements for registrar handling of expired names that are subject to a UDRP dispute.
</span><span style="color:#333333">The ERRP sets minimum renewal notification requirements for registrars before and after domain names expire, as well as certain requirements for renewal and restoration of expired domain names.
</span><span style="color:black">In taking this action, the Council was careful to note that it recognized the importance of the PSR for these two expiration related Consensus Policies, but did not see the PSR as urgent at that time. After approximately 1.5
years, the potential PSR has again risen to the 0-1 month range of the <a href="https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/40175174/GNSO_Council_Action_Items_2021-2022_20220707.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1657207845000&api=v2">

<p style="margin:0in;background:white"><span style="color:black">The Council must consider again whether a PSR is necessary and if it is timely to request a PSR from ICANN org’s Global Domains and Strategy (GDS) function. The Council could consider interim
steps prior to determining whether a full PSR is needed, such as reviewing ICANN Compliance
<a href="https://features.icann.org/compliance/dashboard/2022/0522/report"><span style="color:#1155CC">data</span></a> and/or requesting an update on expiration related complaints from ICANN Compliance, to help determine if there are known issues with either
of the two policies.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p style="margin:0in;background:white"><span style="color:black">During the ICANN73 wrap up, the Council discussed a number of parallel conversations that have emerged since implementing PDP 3.0, identifying other aspects of the PDP where improvements could
be considered. In addition, there are a number of projects on the Council’s Action Decision Radar (ADR) related to PDP improvements which will need to be addressed at some point in the future.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in;background:white"><span style="color:black">To provide the Council with a clear picture of these different parallel initiatives and projects, and to avoid overlap and ensure complementarity, the staff support team developed a
<a href="https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2022/draft/draft-gnso-pdp-improvements-discussion-paper-25apr22-en.pdf">
<span style="color:#1155CC">discussion paper</span></a>. In addition to an overview of the different initiatives and projects, the paper also suggests a possible approach for managing these different initiatives by focusing on 1) which elements could be implemented
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
be helpful to have an example of what the tracker may look like. A draft of the <a href="https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2022/draft/draft-pdp-improvements-tracker-overview-7jun22-en.pdf">
<span style="color:#1155CC">PDP Improvements Tracker</span></a> was prepared and discussed during the Council’s June meeting. While substantive review of the items in the tracker will take place in the near future, this agenda item is to help ensure that the
format of the tracker meets the needs of the Council; a series of six questions are included in the PDP Improvements Tracker for consideration by the Council, to help make that determination.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
