        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>I am curious that you mention that the PDP was initiated by
          the ICANN Board, rather than the GNSO Council, and that the
          GNSO Council cannot reject it.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>For my understanding, that means the PDP was not initated
          in a bottom-up multi-stakeholder manner.</div>
        <div>Does anyone care about this?</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>Best Regards</div>

            Subject: Fwd: ICANN News Alert -- Next-Generation gTLD
            Registration Directory Services to Replace WHOIS Preliminary
            Issue Report<br>

            <br>
            Hi,
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>So it’s finally here. A preliminary issues report
              kicking off the policy development process (PDP) for the
              post Expert Working Group on next generation gTLD
              registration directory services (aka WHOIS EWG).</div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>This is a PDP that I suspect will keep the NCSG (and
              other groups within the ICANN community) quite busy over
              the next couple of years. The deadline to submit a comment
              on the preliminary issues report is September 6th.</div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>For those who are interested, but not familiar with the
              GNSO PDP cycle, you can learn more about it here: <a
                moz-do-not-send="true"
                href="http://gnso.icann.org/en/basics/consensus-policy/pdp"
                target="_blank">http://gnso.icann.org/en/basics/consensus-policy/pdp</a></div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>Note…, this PDP was initiated by the ICANN Board, not
              the GNSO Council. This means that after a final issues
              report is published, the GNSO Council cannot reject it. It
              will have to proceed to a PDP working group.</div>
            <div><br>
            </div>
            <div>Thanks.</div>
