The substantive parts of the report lay down procedures for the DNSO to follow in respect of working groups and consensus policy development. These procedures will now be incorporated into the existing DNSO guidelines on procedure. The full set of issues addressed in the report is:
>1. Guidelines for working groups - new DNSO procedure
>2. Election of GA chair - no change to by-laws recommended
>3. New Constituencies - criteria established for petitioners. 
>4. Translations - the DNSO will follow ICANN's lead.
>5. Consensus policy making - a process is recommended.
