the comment above covered everything. Just to clarify things, the succession of Meds --> IP1 --> NA1 --> IP2 --> NA2 --> PPR isn't set in stone and isn't something "officially" mentioned by cic. Also, sometimes you may skip a "stage" completely if the agent didn't update everything which can happen (some people went straight from IP1 to PPr)
