Dear All, As discussed during last week’s meeting, the leadership team has further considered the plans for ICANN62 in Panama and, noting the current state of work, we like to propose to postpone the high interest topic (HIT) session to ICANN63. By then the Initial Report should be out and a substantive discussion can be held with the community on the proposed recommendations. However, this should not mean that no update is provided on the status of work during ICANN62. The leadership team would like to propose to host an open F2F WG meeting, instead of the HIT session, which would kick off with a status update for those interested. Furthermore, the leadership team will be available to come and present to your respective groups, ideally in cooperation with CCWG AP members/participants. Please be so kind to check with your group to see whether there's an interest in arranging such an exchange. We hope this presents a reasonable balance between making sure the community is able to get an update on the latest state of work, while not taking up prime time while the Initial Report is not ready yet for community review. If there is no objection to this approach, this would mean that the F2F meeting of the WG would be scheduled for Wednesday 27 June from 15.15 – 16.45 local time. Please feel free to share any feedback you may have with the mailing list. We hope to finalize this approach during Thursday’s meeting. Best regards, Erika & Ching
