== Functions of the PAB ==

The PAB was established mostly to make recommendations related to the general policy matters, which may need to be implemented in the gTLD-MoU to the POC. Any organization that wished to participate was incorporated in this body as members of the body. The decisions of this body are mostly taken on the basis of “roughed consensus” of the members of the body. However, the PAB does not have the power to make any kind of binding decisions and was created only to advise the POC. It basically serves as a ground to express new ideas and inclusion of new interest groups. The PAB is also a good platform to express the dissent against the gTLD-MoU. This has really made it one of the most powerful catalysts for change. The PAB understands that gTLD-MoU doesn’t provide any kind of oversight of the POC and hence it considers providing appropriate recommendations that would help to enhance the functioning of the POC. <ref name="link2">[http://www.songbird.com/pab/mail/0505.html songbird.com]</ref>
