Hi, I am an observer in this group and see that it is working on a statement. Isn't this a statement that the various contributing SO/AC need to review before it gets sent in? Or are we comfortable with just letting them do their own thing and submit something that is in some sense in our name as a CCWG, but not vetted. The group process troubles me as it wasn't even able to complete a charter before starting to craft statements and has a unbalanced membership. In fact it is much more a GNSO group, though following no specific or guidelines, than a cross community one at this point as there has not been wide cross community buy-in yet. Of course I have no issue with a bunch of people signing their own names to anything they wish, but I would be against a group sending something out in the name of the cross community that had never even reviewed the WG's efforts. I do believe in the eventual utility of this group, but I would like to see it organized on a firm ross community footing before it starts making declarations to the world. avri
