someone else) to shut off a PDP that is already underway. But I have
concerns about how this mechanism could be
used/misused.</div><div><br></div><div>Also, our criteria must be defined as

quorum, or lack of volunteer members, or absence of traffic on the mailing
list.</div><div>"No Longer Necessary" not sure who makes this
determination. The constituencies / SGs / councilors / organization that
originated the PDP should be involved, at a minimum.</div><div>"Deadlock"
Pretty much every PDP has hit this point on some issue or another.
</div><div><br></div><div>I think all definitions should be as narrow as
