Hi, Please find a motion for approving the charter of the CWG-IG as was discussed at our last meeting. Since James and I worked on this, I have added his name as seconder but he needs to either accept or reject that. Note the last item in the motion:
4. As the charter calls for each of the chartering organizations to appoint a co-chair for the group, the GNSO Council appoints <name here> to serve as a member of the CWG-IG, to serve as the GNSO co-chair of the CWG-IG, and to serve as GNSO Council liaison to the group.
We need to decide which name goes here. Does no necessarily need to be the same person for co-chair and liaison. Rafik Dammak is a current co-facilitator for the group from the GNSO side.
