CCWG Repository of Input
by Marika Konings Jan. 31, 2017

Jan. 31, 2017

Dear All, Per action item #2, please find hereby the link to the repository that is intended to collect the input from members and participants on the charter questions. Note that a first priority is to develop the CCWG’s work plan before diving into deliberations, but for those of you that want to already put your thoughts on paper, you can do so by adding to the google doc which can be found at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QN7zarCr2c-2BVv3pfa6Z5O10pDcgHSIQ5Q3CBd…. For now I’ve included the input provided by Daniel as well as some of the comments that were made in response to his input. However, going forward, please clearly indicate if input you provide on the mailing list is intended to be added to the document as otherwise it may become difficult to keep track. For those that are unfamiliar with Google docs, you may find the following introduction of interest: https://gsuite.google.com/learning-center/products/docs/get-started/. As I myself am pretty new to Google docs, I hope you bear with me as I try to make sure the settings are correct. For this document, everyone should be able to edit. Of course, please make sure that you do not edit the entries of others. For those that still may not feel comfortable or do not have access to Google docs, you will also find attached a word version that you may add to. Best regards, Marika

Hello, I think dedicating a department just to manage the auction proceed seem like an overkill since this won't be a continuous event. A mechanism that allows staff (GSE dept for instance) to this as a project item and manage the funds based on the guidelines developed by this group should just do.

Hi Elliot, I tend to agree with you with one caveat. There are a lot of unknowns regarding future gTLDs: - There *may* ba another round or rounds; - There *may* be auctions - Any such auctions *may* have their proceeds designated for uses similar to in the first round. All of these would be the result of GNSO PDP(s) and Board action, and are out of scope for us, regardless of whether we think any or all of this would be good (and I am not advocating any of this here). If all of those were to come to be, then the process we are developing *may* be applicable (again, a decision WAY out of our scope). Nothing that we do should REQUIRE that we must start all over again and re-invent this in such a situation.

Dear All, Please find below the notes and action items from today’s meeting. The next meeting will be scheduled for Thursday 9 February at 15.00 UTC for 90 minutes. Best regards, Marika Notes - 26 January 2017 CCWG Auction Proceeds These high-level notes are designed to help PDP WG members navigate through the content of the call and are not meant as a substitute for the transcript and/or recording. The MP3, transcript, and chat are provided separately and are posted on the wiki at: https://community.icann.org/x/D7HDAw. 1. Roll Call · Attendance will be taken from Adobe Connect · This WG has members, participants and observers. Only members and participants are invited to calls. The call details are circulated on a non-archived mailing list (ntyf). Please do not circulate these details. Should you want to change your status from observer to participant, please contact gnso-secs(a)icann.org. · Please remember to mute your microphone when not speaking. 2. Welcome & Introductions · Get to know each other via participation or possible an in person meeting at a future ICANN meeting. Feel free to reach out to staff or raising your hands if you have any questions. · If you want to speak, please use the raising hand feature in Adobe Connect. · Staff support for this effort will be provided by Marika Konings (GNSO), Joke Braeken (ccNSO) and Nathalie Peregrine (SO/AC Support Team). · Two Board liaisons have been appointed to this effort (Asha Hemrajani and Becky Burr) as the Board has fiduciary responsibilities. Expected to be a go between the CCWG and Board to highlight any concerns or questions the CCWG and/or Board may have. · Samantha Eisner (deputy legal Counsel, ICANN) will continue in the role of staff liaison/advisor, similar to the support she provided in the drafting team by advising on ICANN's legal and fiduciary responsibilities. · Lauren Allison is providing internal support to ICANN org on this topic and is also expected to join this call on a regular basis. · CCWG should be comfortable with this level of staff support provided - if there are any concerns, these should be flagged. High level principles of operation of CCWGs: · CCWG will be lead and co-ordinated by the co-chairs appointed by the Chartering Organizations. To date, the GNSO and ccNSO have appointed a co-chair (Jonathan Robinson - GNSO, Ching Chiao - ccNSO). · Leadership team meets prior to the meeting to prepare the agenda and prep for the meeting. · CCWG is expected to work as a collaborative unit - need to excercise discipline. · Members are appointed by chartering organization and serve a specific liaison role. · Participants participate in the same way as members do, the only difference may be if there is a need for a consensus call (noting that the leadership will do its best to avoid the need for any votes). · Observers can follow the discussions on the mailing list, but are not invited to join calls. · All members and participants are required to complete a statement of interest and a declaration of interest. · If after a number of reminders you have not completed your SOI or DOI your status will be downgraded to observer until you have completed the required statements. · For more information about the practical workings of Adobe Connect, wiki, etc., please review the communication tools webinar (see https://participate.icann.org/p830qbsrcot/) · Is there anything as "good standing" for CCWG members/participants similar to https://www.w3.org/2004/02/Process-20040205/groups.html#good-standing? No, not currently, only requirements are SOI and DOI. 3. Update on CO membership appointments and chairs · Still awaiting appointments from the ASO, ALAC and GAC - these are forthcoming · All have confirmed their participation and adoption of the charter. · The ccNSO Council has appointed Ching as an interim co-chair - the Council will revisit its decision during ICANN59 whether it will officially appoint a co-chair to this group, and if so, whether it is Ching or someone else. 4. Review CCWG charter · See slides circulated (https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/63156495/new%20gTLD%20Auct…) 5. Discuss what information and/or preparation is needed to start developing work plan · What briefing / input is needed? For example, should another briefing on the legal and fiduciary constraints be provided? Any other information / expertise that will be required? · What preparations / inputs are needed prior to developing the work plan? · Determine what expertise is available in the CCWG. Consider surveying the CCWG to determine what expertise is available in the CCWG to see what expertise may be missing. · CCWG will need to give consideration as part of its deliberations to local/global nature of mechanism recommended. · Need briefings from people that do this as part of their daily jobs to get further insights into best practices. Need to avoid reinventing the wheel so important to benefit from those that have expertise in this area. Note a number of suggestions and offers made in the chat. Develop a list of possible organisations to invite / speak to at the outset. · Create two documents: table of expertise of CCWG members - individuals can add to this (proposer, expertise). Create document to start ad-hoc thinking about the questions. Action item #1: Start building list of prospective individuals / organizations that could provide input and expertise at the outset of the CCWG deliberations Action item #2: Staff to develop draft table of expertise for CCWG completion and start ad-hoc document which will allow CCWG members/participants to share thinking about charter questions. 6. Discuss proposed timing, duration and frequency of meetings · Factoring in time zone spread of CCWG members and participants, suggests that a single time slot of 15.00 UTC may work for most. If this does not work, may need to consider alternatives, including rotation. · Proposed to continue on Thursdays, for 90 minutes, every two weeks. · For ICANN58, staff will be requesting a slot on Wednesday from 15.15-16.45 local time for the CCWG. CCWG can decide at a later date whether you want to use this slot or not. 7. AOB 8. Confirm next steps & time / date for next meeting · 9 February at 15.00 UTC for 90 minutes Marika Konings Senior Policy Director & Team Leader for the GNSO, Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Email: marika.konings(a)icann.org<mailto:marika.konings@icann.org> Follow the GNSO via Twitter @ICANN_GNSO Find out more about the GNSO by taking our interactive courses<http://learn.icann.org/courses/gnso> and visiting the GNSO Newcomer pages<http://gnso.icann.org/sites/gnso.icann.org/files/gnso/presentations/policy-…>.

Marika Konings: (07:01) Thank you Vanda James Gannon [GNSO]: (07:02) @Marika: Stephanie sends her apologies, she is on a panel with the data protection officers at CPDP right now unfortunately. Alan Greenberg: (07:02) dead air Marika Konings: (07:02) Thanks, James, noted Marika Konings: (07:03) Please mute your microphones when not speaking Nadira ALARAJ: (07:04) I'm connected through the Adobe room Mary Uduma: (07:05) Hello All.

Marika Konings: (07:20) Please note that if after a number of reminders you have not completed your SOI or DOI your status will be downgraded to observer until you have completed the required statements. James Gannon [GNSO]: (07:20) Hey Erica! Nice to see you still here =) Erika Mann: (07:20) Hi James! Asha Hemrajani: (07:21) Hello Erika, how nice to see you here! Erika Mann: (07:21) Hi Asha! Marika Konings: (07:22) @Daniel - please activate your microphone in Adobe Connect. Daniel Dardailler: (07:22) my mike seems dead.. Marika Konings: (07:22) Can we assist you with a dial-out? Daniel Dardailler: (07:23) my question was related to the concept of "good standing" in a WG, when it comes to voting (rare but important when it happens) Daniel Dardailler: (07:23) is there such a concept within ICANN/GNSO group ? Tom Dale (ACIG GAC Secretariat): (07:24) The GAC hopes to be able to advise its nominated members by the end of next week. Nathalie Peregrine: (07:24) Recording of the Communication Tools classroom (tips and tricks of the tools used to communicate in CCWGs): https://participate.icann.org/p830qbsrcot/ Daniel Dardailler: (07:25) e.g. https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.w3.org_2004_02_Pro… James Gannon [GNSO]: (07:26) Johnathan or staff can confirm but for the members as per the charter we have not defined such standing Daniel Jonathan Robinson: (07:27) Thanks James. Yes, no such defintion exists as such. Save for SOI + DOI required. Jonathan Robinson: (07:27) Also, committment to behavioural norms as per ICANN rules on "respectful particpation" or simialr Daniel Dardailler: (07:28) ok thx James Gannon [GNSO]: (07:28) https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_resource… Daniel Dardailler: (07:28) we actually use more the concept of "active participant" when measuring groups James Gannon [GNSO]: (07:30) I think its super impotrant to note that voting will most likely never happen, we managed to make it through pretty much the entire restructuring and accountability exercise of the IANA transition without having to do so (Under Johnathans leadership for a large chunk of that too) I dont see this as being any different I ope Becky Burr: (07:36) That ultimate responsibility is required to ensure compliance with fiduciary obligations, particularly with respect to compliance with laws and regulations applicable to non-profits Julf Helsingius (GNSO NCPH NCA): (07:38) And "reasonable", "typical" and "best practice" will be very different in terms of efficiency judith hellerstein: (07:38) To be #10 would be could the fellowship or mentor program apply for these funds Alan Greenberg: (07:39) @Judith. No restrictions in Charter. That is what we need to either allow or not, and if allow, decide on parameters. Alan Greenberg: (07:40) One possibility that has been discussed is to use the funds to top up the reserve. but your ideas could be allowed as well. Nadira ALARAJ: (07:40) Are there any public comments period? James Gannon [GNSO]: (07:40) Yes after our initial report Asha Hemrajani: (07:40) #10 is a real possibility and should not come as a surprise. One possibilty is the replenishment of the Reserve Fund, as Alan just mentioned. Alan Greenberg: (07:40) Charter rquires us to have specific public comments Alan Greenberg: (07:41) and we can have more if we dcide we should James Gannon [GNSO]: (07:41) +1 Alan Alan Greenberg: (07:41) [I was vice-chair of the charter drafting team, so I hav some idea of what it says! ;-) ] Daniel Dardailler: (07:42) what is the proper way to comment on these 11 questions ? Daniel Dardailler: (07:42) mailing list ? James Gannon [GNSO]: (07:42) Yup the work plan will likel set out how we will deal with them all Denis Munene Mwaniki: (07:46) will the slides be shared on the mailing list? James Gannon [GNSO]: (07:47) Whatever disbursement strategy we will arrive on, we will always be bounded by ICANNs 501c3 status Marika Konings: (07:47) @Denis - you can find the slides here: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_x_… . They were also shared with the agenda. Denis Munene Mwaniki: (07:47) thank you. Asha Hemrajani: (07:47) yes @James we cannot jeopardize our non profit status James Gannon [GNSO]: (07:48) Yes this will alwyas have to be a core our every discussion Ching Chiao: (07:49) point well-made, Alan ! Marc Gauw: (07:50) We do at NLnet Foundation... Alan Greenberg: (07:50) I have some such expertise and would be glad to share my perspective. hadia.elminiawi: (07:50) Maybe part of the work that could be included in the work plan is to define the various constraints Alan Greenberg: (07:51) Yes, it is the corporate organization that has the tax status liability. Erika Mann: (07:51) I would like to offer such kind of expertise (I evaluated one of the largest capital fund/10 Billion) and I will send names of other experts as well (Gates Foundation). Julf Helsingius (GNSO NCPH NCA): (07:52) Let's ask the Gates Foundation :) Peter Vergote (.be): (07:52) DNS Belgium has worked together with a foundation called Close the Gap in the past. Happy to provide information or ask them to give Peter Vergote (.be): (07:52) a presentation if this is helpfull for this ccwg. Erika Mann: (07:52) I will send more information by email Vanda Scartezini: (07:52) thnaks Erika Erika Mann: (07:52) Hi Vanda! Alan Greenberg: (07:53) National development programs are common and easily are as large and larger than ours. Mary Uduma: (07:53) Happy to share my experience in such efforts in work with the Telcoms Regulator and the ccTLD. Vanda Scartezini: (07:53) foundations that I am chiar of board here are around 150 million USD maximum James Gannon [GNSO]: (07:53) That would be fantastic Erika, as I said eperience with funds of scale is rare James Gannon [GNSO]: (07:54) @Alan Agreed but I would see NDPs as a different beat to private foundations James Gannon [GNSO]: (07:54) *beast Marc Gauw: (07:54) So happy to provide input on how NLnet is handling its fund Julf Helsingius (GNSO NCPH NCA): (07:55) Yes, NLnet is probably a good example Marika Konings: (07:56) as you build the list, you may also want to start thinking about specific questions you would like to see answered that will assist the CCWG in its deliberations? Alan Greenberg: (07:56) @James. Yes, but there are overlapping aspects. I have done a fair amount of work on policy and implementation of NPD in the ICT area and I see a lot of alignment. James Gannon [GNSO]: (07:57) Yes for sure, just on the fund management side and legal tax advice is where I think we will end up looking external. Alan Greenberg: (07:58) Many aspects to look at. Understanding how to select projects, concept of risk associated with them and evaluations of success. very much common. James Gannon [GNSO]: (07:58) Yup! James Gannon [GNSO]: (07:58) No please use GDocs please judith hellerstein: (07:58) I am fine with google docs Vanda Scartezini: (07:58) legal certainly since California legal framework needed to be respected Erika Mann: (07:59) Google docs +1 Vanda Scartezini: (07:59) + 1 Erika hadia.elminiawi: (07:59) +1 google docs Asha Hemrajani: (07:59) If we get participants/observers from China, they may not have access to Google docs Mary Uduma: (08:00) +1@ Alan Carlos Dionisio Aguirre: (08:00) good point James Gannon [GNSO]: (08:01) Works for me. Denis Munene Mwaniki: (08:01) +1 judith hellerstein: (08:02) works for me Asha Hemrajani: (08:02) 15:00 UTC works for me James Gannon [GNSO]: (08:02) 90 to start Jon Nevett: (08:03) PST and EST are 3 hours apart not 4 James Gannon [GNSO]: (08:03) Weekly until we break into subgroups Vanda Scartezini: (08:03) every two weeks lloks fine - thursday is also a good day Sebastien: (08:03) 15:00 UTC works for me Marika Konings: (08:03) Note that for ICANN58, staff will be requesting a slot on Wednesday from 15.15-16.45 local time for the CCWG. You can decide at a later date whether you want to use this slot or not.

I request staff to check. Thanks. Julf Helsingius (GNSO NCPH NCA): (06:55) Did you hear me? Jacob Odame-Baiden: (06:55) Hello this is Jacob from Ghana agnoun basso: (06:55) hello everybody Marika Konings: (06:56) @Waudo - please make sure that you are not responding to the ntyf mailing list as CCWG members/participants do not have posting rights to the list (it is only used for sending call details) hadia.elminiawi: (06:56) Hi all, glad to join you today Marika Konings: (06:56) To send apologies or request a dial-out for future meetings, you can always contact gnso-secs(a)icann.org<mailto:gnso-secs@icann.org> Denis Munene Mwaniki 2: (06:56) hello everyone Asha Hemrajani: (06:57) Good evening from Singapore Ching Chiao: (06:57) Hi everyone! Marc Gauw: (06:57) Hi there Carlos Dionisio Aguirre: (06:58) good morning from Argentina Nathalie Peregrine: (06:59) Welcome everyone! Denis Munene Mwaniki: (06:59) good evening from Kenya Jonathan Robinson: (07:00) Just dialing in to be sure of connection James Gannon [GNSO]: (07:00) Morning/Afternoon/Evening everyone Marika Konings: (07:00) For roll call purposes, please also use your last name when logging into Adobe Connect (you can update your info by using the drop down menu in this pod) judith hellerstein: (07:01) Hi all Vanda Scartezini: (07:01) Hi, all. I'm in a very noisy environment. I'll keep myself mute. Apologies Julf Helsingius (GNSO NCPH NCA): (07:01) This seems to be a very popular group.... Marika Konings: (07:01) Thank you Vanda James Gannon [GNSO]: (07:02) @Marika: Stephanie sends her apologies, she is on a panel with the data protection officers at CPDP right now unfortunately. Alan Greenberg: (07:02) dead air Marika Konings: (07:02) Thanks, James, noted Marika Konings: (07:03) Please mute your microphones when not speaking Nadira ALARAJ: (07:04) I'm connected through the Adobe room Mary Uduma: (07:05) Hello All. Nathalie Peregrine: (07:07) Welcome all Glenn McKnight: (07:08) Howdy Nathalie Peregrine: (07:11) GNSO SO/AC support email address: gnso-secs(a)icann.org<mailto:gnso-secs@icann.org> for requests, questions, dial outs, apologies, questions about membership status Erika Mann: (07:20) Erika Mann - Joined the call! Marika Konings: (07:20) Please note that if after a number of reminders you have not completed your SOI or DOI your status will be downgraded to observer until you have completed the required statements. James Gannon [GNSO]: (07:20) Hey Erica! Nice to see you still here =) Erika Mann: (07:20) Hi James! Asha Hemrajani: (07:21) Hello Erika, how nice to see you here! Erika Mann: (07:21) Hi Asha! Marika Konings: (07:22) @Daniel - please activate your microphone in Adobe Connect. Daniel Dardailler: (07:22) my mike seems dead.. Marika Konings: (07:22) Can we assist you with a dial-out? Daniel Dardailler: (07:23) my question was related to the concept of "good standing" in a WG, when it comes to voting (rare but important when it happens) Daniel Dardailler: (07:23) is there such a concept within ICANN/GNSO group ? Tom Dale (ACIG GAC Secretariat): (07:24) The GAC hopes to be able to advise its nominated members by the end of next week. Nathalie Peregrine: (07:24) Recording of the Communication Tools classroom (tips and tricks of the tools used to communicate in CCWGs): https://participate.icann.org/p830qbsrcot/ Daniel Dardailler: (07:25) e.g. https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.w3.org_2004_02_Pro… James Gannon [GNSO]: (07:26) Johnathan or staff can confirm but for the members as per the charter we have not defined such standing Daniel Jonathan Robinson: (07:27) Thanks James. Yes, no such defintion exists as such. Save for SOI + DOI required. Jonathan Robinson: (07:27) Also, committment to behavioural norms as per ICANN rules on "respectful particpation" or simialr Daniel Dardailler: (07:28) ok thx James Gannon [GNSO]: (07:28) https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_resource… Daniel Dardailler: (07:28) we actually use more the concept of "active participant" when measuring groups James Gannon [GNSO]: (07:30) I think its super impotrant to note that voting will most likely never happen, we managed to make it through pretty much the entire restructuring and accountability exercise of the IANA transition without having to do so (Under Johnathans leadership for a large chunk of that too) I dont see this as being any different I ope Becky Burr: (07:36) That ultimate responsibility is required to ensure compliance with fiduciary obligations, particularly with respect to compliance with laws and regulations applicable to non-profits Julf Helsingius (GNSO NCPH NCA): (07:38) And "reasonable", "typical" and "best practice" will be very different in terms of efficiency judith hellerstein: (07:38) To be #10 would be could the fellowship or mentor program apply for these funds Alan Greenberg: (07:39) @Judith. No restrictions in Charter. That is what we need to either allow or not, and if allow, decide on parameters. Alan Greenberg: (07:40) One possibility that has been discussed is to use the funds to top up the reserve. but your ideas could be allowed as well. Nadira ALARAJ: (07:40) Are there any public comments period? James Gannon [GNSO]: (07:40) Yes after our initial report Asha Hemrajani: (07:40) #10 is a real possibility and should not come as a surprise. One possibilty is the replenishment of the Reserve Fund, as Alan just mentioned. Alan Greenberg: (07:40) Charter rquires us to have specific public comments Alan Greenberg: (07:41) and we can have more if we dcide we should James Gannon [GNSO]: (07:41) +1 Alan Alan Greenberg: (07:41) [I was vice-chair of the charter drafting team, so I hav some idea of what it says! ;-) ] Daniel Dardailler: (07:42) what is the proper way to comment on these 11 questions ? Daniel Dardailler: (07:42) mailing list ? James Gannon [GNSO]: (07:42) Yup the work plan will likel set out how we will deal with them all Denis Munene Mwaniki: (07:46) will the slides be shared on the mailing list? James Gannon [GNSO]: (07:47) Whatever disbursement strategy we will arrive on, we will always be bounded by ICANNs 501c3 status Marika Konings: (07:47) @Denis - you can find the slides here: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_x_… . They were also shared with the agenda. Denis Munene Mwaniki: (07:47) thank you. Asha Hemrajani: (07:47) yes @James we cannot jeopardize our non profit status James Gannon [GNSO]: (07:48) Yes this will alwyas have to be a core our every discussion Ching Chiao: (07:49) point well-made, Alan ! Marc Gauw: (07:50) We do at NLnet Foundation... Alan Greenberg: (07:50) I have some such expertise and would be glad to share my perspective. hadia.elminiawi: (07:50) Maybe part of the work that could be included in the work plan is to define the various constraints Alan Greenberg: (07:51) Yes, it is the corporate organization that has the tax status liability. Erika Mann: (07:51) I would like to offer such kind of expertise (I evaluated one of the largest capital fund/10 Billion) and I will send names of other experts as well (Gates Foundation). Julf Helsingius (GNSO NCPH NCA): (07:52) Let's ask the Gates Foundation :) Peter Vergote (.be): (07:52) DNS Belgium has worked together with a foundation called Close the Gap in the past. Happy to provide information or ask them to give Peter Vergote (.be): (07:52) a presentation if this is helpfull for this ccwg. Erika Mann: (07:52) I will send more information by email Vanda Scartezini: (07:52) thnaks Erika Erika Mann: (07:52) Hi Vanda! Alan Greenberg: (07:53) National development programs are common and easily are as large and larger than ours. Mary Uduma: (07:53) Happy to share my experience in such efforts in work with the Telcoms Regulator and the ccTLD. Vanda Scartezini: (07:53) foundations that I am chiar of board here are around 150 million USD maximum James Gannon [GNSO]: (07:53) That would be fantastic Erika, as I said eperience with funds of scale is rare James Gannon [GNSO]: (07:54) @Alan Agreed but I would see NDPs as a different beat to private foundations James Gannon [GNSO]: (07:54) *beast Marc Gauw: (07:54) So happy to provide input on how NLnet is handling its fund Julf Helsingius (GNSO NCPH NCA): (07:55) Yes, NLnet is probably a good example Marika Konings: (07:56) as you build the list, you may also want to start thinking about specific questions you would like to see answered that will assist the CCWG in its deliberations? Alan Greenberg: (07:56) @James. Yes, but there are overlapping aspects. I have done a fair amount of work on policy and implementation of NPD in the ICT area and I see a lot of alignment. James Gannon [GNSO]: (07:57) Yes for sure, just on the fund management side and legal tax advice is where I think we will end up looking external. Alan Greenberg: (07:58) Many aspects to look at. Understanding how to select projects, concept of risk associated with them and evaluations of success. very much common. James Gannon [GNSO]: (07:58) Yup! James Gannon [GNSO]: (07:58) No please use GDocs please judith hellerstein: (07:58) I am fine with google docs Vanda Scartezini: (07:58) legal certainly since California legal framework needed to be respected Erika Mann: (07:59) Google docs +1 Vanda Scartezini: (07:59) + 1 Erika hadia.elminiawi: (07:59) +1 google docs Asha Hemrajani: (07:59) If we get participants/observers from China, they may not have access to Google docs Mary Uduma: (08:00) +1@ Alan Carlos Dionisio Aguirre: (08:00) good point James Gannon [GNSO]: (08:01) Works for me. Denis Munene Mwaniki: (08:01) +1 judith hellerstein: (08:02) works for me Asha Hemrajani: (08:02) 15:00 UTC works for me James Gannon [GNSO]: (08:02) 90 to start Jon Nevett: (08:03) PST and EST are 3 hours apart not 4 James Gannon [GNSO]: (08:03) Weekly until we break into subgroups Vanda Scartezini: (08:03) every two weeks lloks fine - thursday is also a good day Sebastien: (08:03) 15:00 UTC works for me Marika Konings: (08:03) Note that for ICANN58, staff will be requesting a slot on Wednesday from 15.15-16.45 local time for the CCWG. You can decide at a later date whether you want to use this slot or not. Asha Hemrajani: (08:03) I think every 2-3 weeks would be good Daniel Dardailler: (08:03) Is this table on the Web ? and what does Impact means ? Vanda Scartezini: (08:04) 90 minutes for the beginning looks fine too Marika Konings: (08:04) @Daniel - I will post it on the meeting page Jon Nevett: (08:04) Asha +1 Carlos Dionisio Aguirre: (08:04) twoo weeks looks fine and 90 minutes each Peter Vergote (.be): (08:04) Sounds like a good plan to me, Jonathan! judith hellerstein: (08:04) Yes but should fix the EST/PST time zones Marika Konings: (08:05) @Jon - thanks.
