The PDP-WT was tasked with the development of appropriate operating principles, rules, and principles for the new [[Policy Development Process]] (PDP), as well as figuring out a means of implementation/transition for the new policy. The team released its final report on the undertaking in September 2011. The team recommended that the PDP better align with the contractual requirements of [[ICANN]]'s [[registry]] and registrar [[consensus policies]], as well as ICANN's strategic and operations plans; that the PDP better emphasize the amount of work required to create new policy; that it be more flexible than the current policy; and that there be a way to review the PDP periodically to determine whether it remains effective.<ref>[https://community.icann.org/display/gnsoppsc/3.+PDP-WT+Charter PDP-WT Charter]</ref>
