My personal view: we can not go against any initiative that goes bottom up. Even lacking diversity, because is an informal movement people is free to make any WG they like. But the idea to congregate people from different SOs/ACs and try to think out of the box in any solution, shall be respected and incentivized. The formal process must come from ICANN bylaws but the movement itself deserves, from my point of view, congratulations. Let's also acknowledge the effort of Patrick to invite other member to participate, as I got several mails about this issue, even keeping the group small to be workable, several persons are actually participating send contributions to the focus point, as Patrick here.

Before the first call, there was a willingness to work with a small group with a good balance between all parties, in the hope that it would be easier to find consensus. This is what I reported. However, during and after the call, some people asked for colleagues to be included. There are now 21 people in the WG, up from 15 originally. I still have other subscription requests pending for the mailing list. My concern is that I am not sure this will help getting the job done faster, better or if it will be the opposite.

Thanks Bret, I will be happy to be part of that discussion but your impression is contradictory to the mail send by Patrick on Monday:

Thanks James and Siva for volunteering.
My understanding is that the group participants were selected as to have both an adequate coverage of all AC/SOs and regions, without favouring one or another. It was also meant to be rather limited so as to move forward fast. Hence, I am afraid there is no possibility to add participants. I note however, that the WG still misses a member from Africa.
However, as I said, I would be happy to relay your concerns.

I was on the call yesterday, and I had the distinct impression that the group wanted to be open. Who wants to be on the mailing list and phone calls? I will forward your names to the group.

OK it is an UNOFFICIAL CLOSED group of a bunch of interested people. Yes they are interested! But to what? If it is period then it is not time for "official" At-Large participation.
