Motion 2:  Adopt Revised PDP Manual Incorporating Modifications to Include the Suspension of a PDP

Made by: Wolf-Ulrich Knoben

WHEREAS:

Having encountered the need to suspend a Policy Development Process (PDP) for a limited amount of time, the GNSO Council realized that currently the PDP Manual does not contain a specific provision on how to deal with such a situation;

The GNSO Council requested the Standing Committee on Improvements Implementation (SCI) in April 2012 to review whether there should be a modification to the GNSO PDP Manual to address the possible suspension of a PDP following its initiation;

The SCI deliberated on provisions for suspension of a PDP and reached consensus on proposed modifications to be incorporated in Section 15 of the GNSO PDP Manual, which also is included as Annex 2 in the GNSO Council Operating Procedures;

The revised PDP manual, including the proposed provisions for suspension of a PDP, was put out for a minimum 21-day public comment period on 06 March 2013 ending on 06 April 2013 (see http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/pdp-suspension-07mar13-en.htm) as required by the ICANN Bylaws;

As a result of the public comment period, no further changes were deemed necessary by the SCI;

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED

The GNSO Council adopts the revised PDP Manual including the providing for the suspension of a PDP (see INSERT LINK TO REDLINE GNSO COUNCIL OPERATING PROCEDURES).

The GNSO Council instructs ICANN staff to post the new version of the PDP Manual and to include it as a revised Annex 2 in the GNSO Operating Procedures, effective immediately upon adoption.
