Legal Advice * Legal Advice subteam also has a mailing list and has started to work based on CWG document. * The timeline that we are working with is very aggressive. In Frankfurt, we discussed that we would get initial response from ICANN legal as we develop our questions document. * No deviance from the path discussed in Frankfurt., * CCWG will attempt as an ideal to use the same firm as used by the CWG, although scoping documents will be different. * So as not wait for the firm to be selected, or wait for the scoping document to be finalized, the first step is to ask for advice from ICANN legal team on a board set of initial questions to help the CCWG understand if it is on a useful track. This will be checked by the external firm.. Contingencies : organising further work (inc. feedback from Board committee) * Agreed on a list of 21 contingencies. Agreed to provide additional analysis to these by responding to a list of questions, after discussion of an appropriate lists if questions. * Request to the Board Risk Committee of the contingencies they use as part of their risk management, a communication has been received from the committee. Comparison shows a couple of items to be updates. Next steps to answer the various questions: * Are there existing remedies in place ? How robust are these remedies ? * Could addressing the contingency be achieved through amending existing accountability mechanisms or is creating new ones necessary ? * How relevant is the threat to the transition of the IANA stewardship ? ie how does the transition affect the likelihood of the threat, or the severeness of the consequences ? Reframe the questions and ask whether contingencies from Board Risk are either in WS1 or WS2 based on our Charter. Action: Add a specific contingency part to the communication materials that we'll edit in Singapore.
