Outstanding IGO/INGO PDP Recommendations	26/6	14/4	Thomas Rickert	Mary Wong	In June 2014, the NGPC wrote to the GNSO Council 'noting that 'the NGPC is considering available options to reconcile the differences at issue, including recommending that the ICANN Board reject the conflicting GNSO policy advice (pursuant to the procedure established in the Bylaws).
