Dear all, As discussed on the call yesterday, the CCWG will be holding a final survey to rank the four possible mechanisms. The survey aims to confirm the preliminary agreement from the CCWG call on 16 August (https://community.icann.org/x/cQZpBQ) to eliminate the two least preferred mechanisms from further consideration for the purposes of the Initial Report. This does not mean these mechanisms will not be described in the Initial Report, but the charter questions will not be answered from the perspective of those mechanisms. Once you have reviewed all the input received from external inputs as well as the CCWG deliberations, please complete the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/M67C9KC. The deadline is 27 August 2018. Please note that it is very important that you complete this survey and respond as fully as possible to all questions. This will assist in the drafting of the Initial Report.
