| | 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 community.icann.org] INTERIM WORK TEAM RULES, revised 18 Feb 2009, Retrieved 20 May 2011</ref>
