You would also, after deciding what specific outcomes you are looking for, and the best way to go about trying to initiate a PDP based upon the desired outcomes, want to reach out to key constituencies in the GNSO to see what view they are likely to take on your ideas and views.
<br><br>To be effective in raising a PDP and achieving the result you want from the PDP process is far more complex than ALAC communicating with the GNSO and asking them to do something. <br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
