To clarify: the CWG itself has not yet been convened.  It’s only the Drafting Team is that is starting up.

Thanks—

Andrew,

There was a discussion paper posted for public comment before Dublin, with comments ended November 8.  https://www.icann.org/public-comments/new-gtld-auction-proceeds-2015-09-08-en
Subsequent to that, SO/AC chairs were invited on January 6 to propose members of the charter Drafting Team that James Bladel mentioned.  
Like you, I can't find evidence of this (other than having seen a copy of the email referred to above), but I expect that will change once the DT actually gets underway.

Greg

There was a session about this in BA:

https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocouncilmeetings/Pre-CWG+Workshop+on+new+gTLD+Auction+Proceeds

I am unable to find evidence that the relevant CWG has in fact been
started, but I can never find anything on the ICANN website, so that's
no guide as to whether it's happened.
