Thank you, Niels. I apologize that I will probably not be able to join you today. I am in Madrid in the NETmundial Initiative coordinating council meeting. A quick update on subgroups 1 (visualisation) and 4 (new gTLDs) follow below:
SG1:
The table that correlates ICANN's policies and procedures with specific rights that they touch upon have been shared with several people at the beginning of the new year. Feedback has been received with proposals for changes and inclusions. These changes are being incorporated to the version that will be presented in Marrakech. A designer has been contacted to work on: a) a better visualisation for the table itself; b) an alternative visualisation for the information on the table. SG1 did not meet since the last CCWP meeting.
SG4:
SG4 has not met in the last weeks. The GNSO WG is still on the process of structuring itself. The last meeting was dedicated to discuss leadership of the WG (chair and co-chairs). The next meeting of the GNSO WG will take place at 29th Feb, 16:00 UTC, in preparation for Marrakech. I am responsible to go through the charter of the WG and identify the key HR that are being touched upon (there is a large list of issues that the WG will tackle that can be difficult to digest). I did not have the bandwidth to do it yet. I saw Pradesh has been listed as facilitator of the presentation of this CCWP SG. I will be happy to work together. Help is much needed and appreciated.
Thanks and great and productive meeting to all.
Best!
