    In June 2014, the NGPC wrote to the GNSO Council noting that the NGPC was considering available options to reconcile the differences at issue, and giving the GNSO an opportunity to consider modifying those aspects of its approved policy recommendations that are inconsistent with GAC advice in accordance with the process in the GNSO's PDP Manual. Several letters were exchanged between the NGPC and the Council up to January 2015.

    In late 2014, a small group of IGO, Board and GAC representatives was formed to work on the initial NGPC proposal (from March 2014), to develop a concrete proposal for consideration by the GAC and the GNSO. The final Small Group Proposal was sent to the GAC and the GNSO in early October 2016. The GAC advice in its Hyderabad Communique requested that this Proposal form the starting point of further discussions.

    The GAC and GNSO held facilitated discussions, with Bruce Tonkin as the designated facilitator, in Copenhagen at ICANN58 in March 2017.

    Red Cross - At its 20 April meeting, the Council will consider the Board's request (made via resolution at ICANN58) to initiate its policy amendment process in respect of a limited set of Red Cross names,

    IGO Acronyms - Bruce Tonkin to revert to the GAC and GNSO delegations following consultations with ICANN staff on proposals made during the ICANN58 facilitated discussion. The IGO-INGO Curative Rights PDP Working Group is considering comments received by the GAC, IGOs and others to its Initial Report.
