Policy Development Process Primers

Introduction:

The ultimate goal of this informational component effort is to produce an easy-to-read summary document format that will provide the background of each particular Public Comment Proceeding (PCP); analysis of the issues involved in the PCP; and the potential impacts of the PCP on key stakeholder groups. Over the course of the pilot effort, in collaboration with members of the ICANN community, WBC will produce up to 20 of the primers on priority PCPs for the stakeholder communities. Each primer iteration in this effort will feature opportunities for community input as we experiment and adjust the primer content to achieve a final template/format that can be utilized for all future PCPs.
