        <div>Dear DG Members,</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>Staff and the Co-Chairs have worked on editing the DG’s set
          of deliverables to incorporate suggestions from members as
          well as other updates. Please review the attached documents
          (also available on the Wiki here: <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://community.icann.org/display/DGNGSR/DRAFT+Deliverables">https://community.icann.org/display/DGNGSR/DRAFT+Deliverables</a>)
          ahead of the DG’s next call on 27 April 2015.</div>
        <ul>
          <li>Executive Summary: Adjusted the language to acknowledge
            that the DG's set of deliverables is slightly different than
            originally conceived.</li>
          <li>Issues/Recommendations Matrix: Integrated the Board
            Resolution: Annex A (yellow text) and GDD Staff input paper
            (green text) into the matrix to ensure that the thoughts are
            not lost, while being sure to differentiate between the
            issues raised by the DG.</li>
          <li>Draft Charter: Made some requested changes based on the 13
            April call, which includes:</li>
          <ul>
            <li>Noting that the work should consider past efforts and
              that existing recommendations remain in place unless the
              GNSO changes them</li>
          </ul>
          <ul>
            <li>Strengthening language to allow for some level of
              flexibility in the charter for a future PDP(s) WG</li>
          </ul>
          <ul>
            <li>Allow for the possibility that there may not be any
              subsequent procedures</li>
          </ul>
        </ul>
      </div>
      <div>We look forward to discussion of these documents on list as
        well as during the next DG call.</div>
