> During the ICANN73 wrap up, the Council discussed a number of parallel

> To provide the Council with a clear picture of these different parallel

> <https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2022/draft/draft-gnso-pdp-improvements-discussion-paper-25apr22-en.pdf>.
> In addition to an overview of the different initiatives and projects, the

> 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 PDP Improvements Tracker
> <https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2022/draft/draft-pdp-improvements-tracker-overview-7jun22-en.pdf>
> was prepared and discussed during the Council’s June meeting. After
> incorporating input, the approach was again discussed during the July
> meeting where no objections were received to track and manage the work in
> the suggested manner.
>
> As a first step towards the substantive review of the items in the
> tracker, Council leadership has worked with the staff support team to
> develop a survey to obtain initial input from Council members as well as
> Stakeholder Group and Constituency leadership that will help inform the
> substantive review of the proposed improvements and next steps. A sample of
> the survey was circulated to the Council list on 05 July 2022
> <https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2022-July/025797.html>.
>
> Here, the Council will discuss whether it has any concerns about this
> approach to initiating the substantive review of the items on the PDP
> Improvements Tracker. If no concerns are flagged, the idea would be to
> launch the survey shortly after the Council meeting to allow for a first
> review of survey responses during the GNSO working session at ICANN75.

> Resolution Policy (UDRP) Policy Status Report (PSR) (15 minutes)*
>
> On 21 January 2021, the GNSO Council approved the recommendations from the
> Phase 1 Final Report of the GNSO Policy Development Process (PDP) on the
> Review of All Rights Protection Mechanisms (RPMs) in All gTLDs, covering
> RPMs applicable to gTLDs launched under the 2012 New gTLD Program. The
> Council has discussed the need to review the RPMs charter in advance of
> launching Phase 2 of the PDP, which is focused on the UDRP.
>
> The Council determined at the time that the best path forward was to
> request a Policy Status Report (PSR) to help inform next steps. The Council
> discussed the approach for the PSR with ICANN org’s Global Domains &
> Strategy (GDS) team over the course of several meetings in 2021, agreeing
> on the scope and purpose of the PSR during the October 2021 Council meeting.
>
> GDS completed the draft PSR and published
