The main role of PDP-WT is to review the existing policy development process ([[PDP]]) set forth by the [[ICANN Bylaws]]. The PDP-WT also works on tasks like recommending necessary changes that need to be done in the community as well as the Council with the help of the open community working group approach for the sake of the deliberative process.

The PDP-WT is 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. It was recommended by the PDP Report that the PDP be better aligned 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>

 

The goal of the PDP-WT is to develop a new policy and meet the policy development needs of Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). The PDP-WT is also assigned with the tasks such as developing proper operating principles, procedures and rules as and when they are applicable to a new policy development process. It is also tasked with the work of creating a transition or implementing plans. <ref>[https://community.icann.org/display/gnsoppsc/3.+PDP-WT+Charter PDP-WT Charter]</ref>
