Hi Patricio,
Thanks. With regard to “Tech day WG”: this term is still widely used as well. They refer to themselves as the Tech WG ( se charter). With regard to adding context to the Wildcard study group, suggest to await tomorrow council call and pending the sense of the meeting adopt the statement conditionally of adding the section on context as proposed.
Kind regards,
Bart

Dear all,

In 4.2, I believe it is not correct to refer to the working group as "Tech Day WG", as its duties include much more than just the Tech Day.

About 4.1 (Wildcard Study Group" or "Redirection Study Group"), I think there should be a "Context" paragraph before the "Purpose", to understand why we believe this study group is necessary. For example, it could begin by stating that the Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC) has determined that "the redirection and synthesizing of DNS responses by TLDs poses a clear and significant danger to the security and stability of the domain name system",  that the ICANN Board has requested the ccNSO to "provide a report on mechanisms that could be employed to ensure that redirection and synthesis at the top level is effectively prohibited", and that, with few exceptions, most ccTLDs do not use redirection. Within this context, the "Purpose" of the study group could be to provide an overview of the dangers generated by the use of redirection, an analysis of the reasons given by the ccTLDs that make use of redirection and a proposed course of action.
