Subject: [soac-discussion] Internet Governance CWG

Dear SO-AC Leaders:

As announced during the ICANN 48 Meeting in Buenos Aires, an Internet Governance CWG has been established that will be the source of the ICANN Community’s preparation for 1Net initiative   the Multistakeholder Meeting in Brazil in 2014 as well as the Panel on the Future of Global Internet Cooperation.

In order to move the activities of the Internet Governance CWG forward, Olivier Crépin-Leblond, ALAC Chair, and Rafik Dammak, NCSG Chair, have offered to serve as co-facilitators.  

As co-facilitators of this group, they will shortly contact you to begin recruiting a balanced group of contributors from across the  ICANN Community.

ICANN’s GSE and Strategy Teams will provide support for the work of this new CWG.

Best regards, 

Theresa Swinehart   -  Sr. Advisor to the President on Strategy

Sally Costerton - Senior Advisor to the President — Global Stakeholder Engagement

David A. Olive   Vice President, Policy Development Support
