Hi all I am going to write a wee cover note, on my responsibility as Rapporteur, and circulate it to the list in about five hours. It will set out: - the papers to read from the Wiki (generally it'll be the current version of each paper listed in WP1 docs in the second and third tables - "POWERS" and "MECHANISMS" - that is at https://community.icann.org/display/acctcrosscomm/WP1+Draft+Documents) - the process we have followed to get to this point - key points that have attracted or that deserve focused attention at Istanbul As a latish paper from me, it has no standing other than a guide to my thinking about where to go. Other WP1 members are more than welcome to share corrections or additions to it when I get it out and about. If I get time on the flight I am about to take, I will also try and do a comparative table of the mechanisms we have listed to make consideration of these easier. thanks Jordan -- Jordan Carter Chief Executive *InternetNZ* 04 495 2118 (office) | +64 21 442 649 (mob) jordan@internetnz.net.nz Skype: jordancarter *A better world through a better Internet *
