Co-Chairs Geographic Names Strawperson
The PDP WG co-chairs, Avri Doria and Jeff Neuman, have prepared a Strawperson solution to the issue of terms which may have a geographical context at the Top Level for future TLD releases (Subsequent Procedures). This Strawperson seeks to provide a compromise solution, intended to serve as a draft for discussions during the sessions. That Strawperson is available here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m69loOZthxrQdcCj1dIUJLkezQXr9rwGxXrechdFv1Y/edit?usp=sharing (PDF - as of 15 June 2017)
Proposals Matrix
The PDP WG co-chairs have also created matrix of all of the proposals received during the webinar, the GNSO recommendations from 2007, the implementation in the Applicant Guidebook, and their Strawperson. The hope is that the community will be able to better understand the points of divergence and convergence between the various proposals. You can view that matrix here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sKx_vyFhhscBUyaFMwqirj8r1D6g7IFtUSa9-lnk2ZI/edit?usp=sharing (PDF - as of 15 June 2017)
