Re: [council] Flow chart - gTLD Registration Services PDP

[Avri Doria <avri@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Thanks for this.  It is good to see pictorially what is being thought of.

I think that because the first review of the issues report was over a
year ago, because the inclusion of EWG brings up new consideration on
that issue report and because of intervening policy issues, we need to
have another review period before a final issues report can be released.

I know that the PDP process does not require this, but neither does the
PDP prohibit it and given the unusual circumstances of this process it
is necessary.
