An Expedited Policy Development Process (EPDP) is initiated by the GNSO Council in situations when time is of the essence to the issues being considered.
Background[edit | edit source]
The ICANN Bylaws describe the conditions and restrictions for the launch of an EPDP:
The GNSO Council may invoke the EPDP in the following limited circumstances: (1) to address a narrowly defined policy issue that was identified and scoped after either the adoption of a GNSO policy recommendation by the Board or the implementation of such an adopted recommendation; or (2) to create new or additional recommendations for a specific policy issue that had been substantially scoped previously such that extensive, pertinent background information already exists, e.g. (a) in an Issue Report for a possible PDP that was not initiated; (b) as part of a previous PDP that was not completed; or (c) through other projects such as a GNSO Guidance Process.[1]
The EPDP process was added to the bylaws in February 2016.[2]

The GNSO Council has initiated the following Expedited PDPs:
- Expedited Policy Development Process on the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data (EPDP)
