ICANN identified key elements in PDT as:

*Agreeing upon a test appointment date with ICANN through the Customer Service Portal

*Beginning data entry after receiving notification and completing all entries before the test appointment

*PDT service providers conduct the testing.

*Registries are given their test results through the Customer Service Portal. <ref>http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/pdt PDT FAQ v.2.2</ref>
