Hello Keith,

Starting to think through the timelines, I think it will be important that the ICG and CWG can start working on a consolidated set of changes to the bylaws.

I have also had some initial discussions with staff to ensure appropriate staff support for this process.

My suggestion would be that as soon as possible the working groups produce a consolidated set of proposed bylaws changes that can be put out for public comment, and refinement.     These consolidated changes can then be submitted to the NTIA along with the proposals.

Regards,

Brue Tonkin

Subject: [CCWG-ACCT] Inquiry from ICG Regarding Proposed Bylaws Amendments

Dear Co-Chairs,

In our capacity as ICG Liaisons to the CCWG-Accountability, Kavouss and I have been asked to request feedback concerning the projected timing and procedure for finalizing proposed bylaws changes.

As you know, the CCWG and the ICG each received an inquiry from NTIA regarding projected timelines for proposal completion, to include implementation. This request is intended to help inform the ICG’s response to NTIA.

As one of the three operational communities submitting proposals to the ICG, the CWG-Transition has identified the need for a fundamental bylaw amendment to secure the PTI structure. For the purpose of public consideration and comment, the ICG is wondering if there’s an opportunity to group the CWG-Transition proposed bylaw amendment text with the bylaw amendments anticipated by the CCWG-Accountability.

A few specific questions:

1. At what stage in the work of the CCWG-Accountability will proposed bylaws amendment text be published for public comment?

2. Will the CCWG-Accountability develop specific text for the proposed bylaws amendments, or will that be conducted during a later implementation phase?

3. Should we consider batching all proposed bylaws changes into a single process, or conduct them separately?

I welcome any further comment by Kavouss.

Thanks and regards,

Keith Drazek
