To raise community awareness around the issues identified the Ad-Hoc Group introduced a series of hypotheticals and discussed these with the community during ICANN79 in San Juan. As a result of these meetings and further consideration of the issues at stake the Ad-Hoc Group advised Council to mandate and establish a working group to further analyze the issues at stake and involve the broader community in this work.
