> Should the PDP WG reach consensus on a recommendation that there is

> 4.      Do you think there are substantive differences between the

> 5.      Should appropriate Special Protections at the top and

> Group View:

> 6.      In addition, should Special Protections for the identifiers

>
> Group View:
>
> 7.      Should the current Special Protections provided to the RCRC

>
> Group View:

> 8.      Do you feel existing RPMs or proposed RPMs for the new gTLD
