Background:
In December 2015, the ccNSO Council discussed the launch of a ccNSO Policy Development Process to address the lack of policy with respect to the retirement of ccTLDs and to introduce a review mechanism on issues pertaining to the delegation, transfer, revocation, and retirement of ccTLDs.

After requesting an Issue Report the ccNSO Council decided to initiate the third ccNSO policy development process (ccPDP3) with the initial focus on developing a policy for the retirement of ccTLDs (Part 1), and only after substantive work on that topic has been concluded, focus on the development of policy recommendations for a review mechanism pertaining to decisions on delegation, transfer, revocation, and retirement of ccTLDs (Part 2).
