Dear all, Now that our WS1 phase is approaching conclusion we would like to suggest a change in dynamics of our work. We acknowledge that the volume of calls and email exchange during this first phase was exhaustive and we want to thank you and recognize all for your understanding and commitment. What we want to propose for WS2 is a more distributed working method in order to leverage each of the member / participants skills while making the best use of everyone’s time. A possible approach, to be discussed in our Marrakech meeting, is to divide the work on the issues to be developed as part of WS2 into small groups that would be tasked to develop a working plan for each of the groups. These working plans would be presented to the CCWG plenary for discussion and approval. Once the group has approved the different working plans, including a comprehensive list of resources that would involve carrying out each group’s work, each group will begin their work and be responsible for scheduling their meetings and updating the CCWG on a monthly basis. Working plans for each group should consider the use of technology in order to foster inclusive participation from the wider community and to diminish cost of carrying each group’s work. Our role as Co-Chairs would evolve to continue to provide facilitation assistance where needed and coordinate interaction between the various groups, the CCWG at large and ICANN Staff and Board. We look forward to this new phase in our work and welcome your thoughts on this suggested way forward during our session tomorrow. Kind regards, Thomas, Mathieu and León CCWG Co-Chairs Saludos, León
