• The rationale for the two-phased PDP is to divide the work and there were also signals that there may be overlaps between inter-registrar and inter-registrant transfers. While Phase 1A report is out for public comment, it will be necessary to review the changes to Phase 1B topics to see if anything gets broken.

- Most topics trend medium to high, which signals these are substantial discussions for the WG. In isolation, what is more important to discuss first: 60-day lock or COR process?

- COR process, then 60-day lock

• Note: we have only scheduled calls up to ICANN71. Please let us know if this time works for everyone. If the time does not work for you, please reach out to Roger or Support Staff. We will take feedback into account before scheduling future meetings.
• Support Staff will take feedback from the polls and come up with the next iteration of the project plan. In approximately one month, the WG will submit its plan to the Council as an acknowledgement that we are committing to these deliverable dates.
• The early input doc currently looks like a replica of charter questions, but we may also consider additional questions. Support Staff will distribute the draft shortly.
• The WG will kick off its work with auth-info code management. If any members have ideas re: how these discussions could look – please submit them to the list.
