Dear CCWG-ACCT, As we prepare for the launch of Work Stream 2 in Helsinki, we would like to remind you of a few key items: Call next week There is a call scheduled for next Tuesday at 19:00 UTC. The Chairs will send out an agenda next Monday, but the focus will be preparations for Helsinki, update on budgeting (PCST), and the public comment on ICANN Articles of Incorporation (see here). Propose a lightening talk As discussed during the last CCWG-Accountability meeting, the agenda for Helsinki includes time set aside for Œlightening talks¹. This is meant as a way to brainstorm and generate ideas around the scope and focus of Work Stream 2 efforts. Please sign up on the list to propose the topic that will be the focus of your talk ­ remember to stay in line with the scope of the topics as outlined in the proposal (this is not an opportunity to expand to new topics). So far, there are only two volunteers signed up for lightening talks. To sign up for a talk on a WS2 topic during the Helsinki meeting, please go to the following Google doc and indicate which topic you have are interest in speaking on: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qWnvDG_qCr6lLvXRo_e3NYp6DalnBokHP5wAbAXl w5U/edit?usp=sharing New Wiki space for WS2 The Wiki space for WS1 was becoming cluttered, so we have created a new space for Work Stream 2. Please bookmark this link in your browser: https://community.icann.org/x/uQuOAw The WS1 Wiki will remain open for the IRP work, implementation, and archival purposes. Expressions of Interest for Work Stream 2 Topics We sent an update on the status for each topic earlier this week, so please remember to sign up in the Google doc as either a participant or observer for the various WS2 topics if you have not done so. This will help determine how to organize the WS2 work.
