The '''Policy Process Steering Committee''' ('''PPSC''') was established to review and recommend changes for [[GNSO]] policy-making processes. The main goal of PPSC was to develop recommendations for the process changes required by the GNSO Improvements Report and acknowledged by the Board.<ref>[https://community.icann.org/display/gnsoppsc/3.+SC+Charter SC Charter]</ref> The PPSC consisted of two teams, the [[Policy Development Process Work Team]] and the [[Working Group Work Team]]. The PPSC was terminated when the GNSO adopted the resolution 20110428-2 at its meeting held on 28 April 2011, although the Policy Development Process Work Team is still active.<ref>[https://community.icann.org/display/gnsoppsc/PPSC+-+Home PPSC Home]</ref>

The PPSC had two working teams, the first team known as the WG team was assigned with the job of developing a proposal for the sake of a new Working Group Model whereas the other team was known as the policy development process team or the PDP Team. The PPSC served as a coordinating body for these two teams.  

The PPSC consisted of two teams, the [[Policy Development Process Work Team]] and the [[Working Group Work Team]]. The PDP-WT was tasked with developing a new policy development process, while the WG-WT was tasked with developing a new Working Group Model. The PPSC itself served as a coordinating body for these two teams.

'''Important Decision making process points:'''

Unless otherwise determined, the decision-making process used by the PPSC was to be made using a “full consensus of the members” process.<ref>[https://community.icann.org/display/gnsoppsc/3.+SC+Charter SC Charter]</ref>

# PPSC recognizes that determining a “Rough Consensus”; where all point of views are discussed till the chair decides all possible perspectives have been covered, is an important issue that must be handled by the working Group WT.

# PPSC WT must strive to reach at a unanimous decision but it also realizes that this may not always be possible.

# All the Work Team rules are subject to change by the PPSC that can be according to the PPSC’s evaluation of Working Group Work Team’s recommendations.<ref>[https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/13598746/PPSC+interim+work+team+rules+draft+revised+18+Feb+2009+clean-1.doc?version=1&modificationDate=1302113143000 Interim Work Team Rules] revised 18 Feb 2009, Retrieved 20 May 2011</ref>
