| Phase 2 | AP Feedback | SSAC confirmed Understanding |
| Phase 2 | Phase Update | The ICANN organization understands SAC090 Recommendation 4 to mean that ICANN should carry out the recommended actions in SAC090 before adding any new TLD names to the global DNS. This understanding was sent to the SSAC on 6 June 2017. |

| Phase 2 | Phase Update | The ICANN organization understands SAC090 Recommendation 4 to mean that ICANN should carry out the recommended actions in SAC090 before proceeding with any subsequent new gTLD procedures. This understanding was sent to the SSAC on 26 January 2017. |
| Phase 2 | AP Feedback | SSAC rejected statement of understanding and provided the following clarifying comments: There are three concerns here. First, the use of the phrase “subsequent new gTLD procedures” allows for the ambiguity of associating this recommendation with the PDP working group of the same name. This is not SSAC’s intention. Second, SSAC does not mention “procedures” but rather the action of adding any TLD name to the global DNS, i.e., adding a label to the root zone. Finally, this phrasing substitutes “gTLD” for “TLD”; SSAC stated and intended the use of “TLD”, i.e., to include both gTLD and ccTLD. |
