Upon the initiation of any [[policy development process]] (PDP), an '''Issue Report''' is prepared that defines the scope of inquiry for the PDP [[working group]]. Because of the procedural timing, a request to initiate a PDP also request the creation of an issue report.
==Procedure==
The [[ICANN Bylaws]] establish the procedures by which an issue report may be requested:
===GNSO Policy Development Process===
*the [[ICANN Board]] may request the [[GNSO]] to initiate a PDP and develop an issue report;
*the GNSO may request an issue report by a vote of at least 25% of each [[GNSO Houses|house]], or a majority vote of either house; or
*an [[Advisory Committee]] may request an issue report by notice to the [[Staff Manager]] and [[GNSO Council]].<ref>[https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#annexA ICANN Bylaws - Annex A], GNSO Policy Development Process</ref>
===ccNSO Policy Development Process===
*the [[ccNSO Council]] may call for an issue report by the affirmative vote of seven or more members at a meeting or by email;
*the [[ICANN Board]] may request the initiation of a PDP;
*one or more [[Regional Organization]]s representing ccTLDs in an [[ICANN recognized region]] may request that the Council initiate a PDP;
*another [[supporting organization]] or advisory committee may request that the Council initiate a PDP; or
