The GNSO Council and the ccNSO Council had some initial discussions on this topic at its meeting in Dakar and as this is an issue that also affects ccTLDs there might be common approaches to be explored. As noted, such approaches might involve improved communication / education in relation to this issue as it is not clear at this stage that this issue could be addressed through policy development.</li><li style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 13pt; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; ">Do nothing – as there is no set mechanism for data gathering or monitoring of abuses at the moment or any evidence that these practices are in non-compliance with ICANN policies or agreements, the GNSO Council could decide to not undertake any further action at this stage. Note, at any point in time, should further information or data become available, any Council member or SO/AC could raise this issue again for further consideration. <br class="atl-forced-newline"></li></ul><p style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 13pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: normal; margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; ">This discussion item aims at seeing if this issue should be closed or if work should continue.</p><p style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 13pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: normal; margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; ">6.1 Discussion<br>6.2 Next steps</p><p style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 13pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: normal; margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "><b><ins>Item 7:</ins></b> <b><ins>Joint SO/AC WG on New gTLD Applicant Support Working Group</ins></b> <b><ins>(JAS WG) (10 minutes)</ins></b></p><p style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 13pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: normal; margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; ">This agenda item is to update the Council on recent developments in the JAS WG, and more specifically details of the measures being taken to implement the recommendations made in the JAS Final Report that was sent to the Board.</p><p style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 13pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: normal; margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; ">7.1 Update from Staff (X Y)<br>7.2 Discussion</p><p style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 13pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: normal; margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "><b><ins>Item 8: Transitioning existing Policy Development Process (PDP) work to the new PDP procedures (10 minutes)</ins></b></p><p style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 13pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: normal; margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; ">At its meeting on December 8, 2011, the Board adopted the new GNSO PDP.</p><p style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 13pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: normal; margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; ">Out of that comes the following text: 'For all ongoing PDPs initiated prior to the adoption by the Board, the Council shall determine the feasibility of transitioning to the procedures set forth in this Annex A for all remaining steps within the PDP.
