Hi Sam,

I don't think the word 'group' is claimed anywhere in ICANN, so I don't
understand using the term 'subgroup' poses a problem or creates unclarity.

The 'subgroup on PDPs' follows PDPs, so I also don't understand how that
is an issue, similar to the 'subgroup on workstream 2'.

Best,

Niels
