Thanks Alice for sending this around, and thank you to the legal team for the quick turnaround and high quality work. I would ask that any future material from lawyers - whoever they are working for - adopts such a commendably brief way of explaining their key points. I suspect that many of us, with normal commitments, cannot wade through endless tables and complicated documents. As for the substantive content, to me this note clearly identifies that the CCWG has work to do in explaining its material more clearly and concisely. We have, I fear, got lost in the detail and in some areas, achieved the worst of both worlds: a long and hard-to-read report that isn't clear and concrete enough in some areas. I am of course more than happy to take my share of the responsibility for that! It does bear on the question we discussed at our most recent meeting. What do we want our final report to look like? How do we go about shortening it (if we want it to be shorter) and clarifying it (presuming we want to be clear)? At the same time, how do we accessibly provide the detail we need so that things are all tied down and implementable? cheers Jordan On 2 September 2015 at 02:03, Alice Jansen <alice.jansen@icann.org> wrote:
