In June 2014, the NGPC requested that the GNSO Council 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 October 2016, a proposal developed by a small group of IGO, Board and GAC representatives was sent to the GAC and the GNSO. The GAC advice in its Hyderabad Communique requested that this proposal form the starting point of further discussions.
