The PDP Working Group (WG) mainly focused on Phase 1A work areas in the past year, e.g. the Form of Authorisation (FOA) for gaining and losing registrars, and the transfer of auth-info codes.

The Phase 1A Initial Report is expected to be ready for public comment in June, while the one for Phase 1B and the WG’s Final Report are both planned for next year. Antonia Chu encouraged everyone to follow the WG’s progress through its workspace.
