Ben Fuller provides oral report on what happened here in Johannesburg. 2 items struck his attention:
1. CCWG on internet governance. The GNSO is opposed on keeping it going as a CCWG. Believe the structure is not appropriate. Main argument: group has a limited timeframe, but it should be an open
timeframe
2. meeting with ICANN administration on community engagement. significant amount of discussion on how to measure effectiveness of newcomers and fellows. They want to see a better process on how
you measure the effectiveness of both programmes.
