Adam, the ccNSO did not initiate the work of the delegation and redelegation working group yet, i guess it's working currently on the group charter, the group objectives might be controversial as Governments and GAC will want to have the same government role in the current delegation and redelegation process through IANA , i guess group will focus more on IANA process regarding the delegation/redelegation and try to have more transparency process . Am not sure if this will be an open group for members from other ICANN SO/AC . regards, Mohamed Adam Peake wrote:
Anyone know if the ccNSO has started a working group on delegation/redelegation policies?
If they have and At Large/ALAC are asked to provide members, I'd like to join.

"CCNSO TO EXPLORE CCTLD DELEGATION AND RELATED POLICIES
At a Glance The Council of the country code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO) has approved a working group to advise the ccNSO Council on launching a policy development process on the delegation, re-delegation and retirement of ccTLDs
Recent Developments The ccNSO revisited the need to review and update the current policy for the delegation, re-delegation and retirement of country code Top Level Domains at the Mexico City ICANN meeting. It concluded that as a first step, a working group needed to be established to better understand the scope and issues involved, and to ensure involvement of the GAC as they have an interest in the topic as well.
Next Steps The ccNSO Secretariat will send out a call for members and observers to the working group. The ccNSO Council expects to appoint members to the working group at its Sydney meeting."
Best,
Adam
