Public Comment on CWG and CCWG
Note to co-chairs CWG and CCWG on mening broad support
Nigel's note limited duration
 

- Update ICG (Keith Davidson)

ICG was scheduled early May

Actual call was 20 May

Most substantial issue on ICG call was NTIA letter, concerning the timeline for the transition proposal, and while there were some who believed that 30 September deadline could still be made, but consensus seemed to be around wanting a renewal of the IANA contract to 30 Sept 2016, and if the transition can occur sooner, for an early termination of the NTIA contract 

Intiial pre-assesment of CWG proposal. A lot more dicussion. High level assessment.

ICG will meet in BA, 2 days
