Hi Dominik,

PDP is an acronym for Policy Development Process. The GNSO was supposed to
make a recommendation to the ICANN BoD, that reflected the public opinion,
in the shaping of the .biz/.info/.org registry agreements.

What does "the failure of the GNSO Council to complete its PDP process on
registry agreements" mean?

According to Ron Jackson, editor of DNJournal.com, the ICANN BoD has
unanimously approved the .biz/.info/.org registry contracts. He received
notice from  Phil Corwin, Legal Counsel for the Internet Commerce
Association, who is attending the ICANN meeting in São Paulo.

"After one hour of discussion the ICANN Board approved this morning by a
13-0 unanimous vote of all participating members to approve the revised gTLD
agreements as published in October. Key reasons for taking action at this
this time was the failure of the GNSO Council to complete its PDP process on
registry agreements and the recent approval of the .com agreement and the
consequent desire for uniformity in these agreements. The need to provide
incentives for registry investments in security was also a key factor cited
by several Board members. The meeting is still ongoing. I will provide a
much more detailed memo on the Board discussion this weekend after I return
to DC." - Phil Corwin, ICA

This behavior by the ICANN Board of Directors is completely disgraceful
considering they claim to serve the best interests of the public and the
nearly unanimous opposition to the proposed .biz/.info/.org registry
agreements.

Let the class action lawsuits begin!
