Dear GNSO colleagues, I trust this email finds you well. CCOICI has completed one of its assignments <https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions/2020-current#202203> from the Council regarding the WS2 Implementation, which is to rank WS2 Recommendation 1 (Diversity), Recommendation 2.3 (Standalone Framework for Exercising Empowered Community Powers), and Recommendation 3 (Human Rights Framework) based on priority levels from GNSO Council’s perspective. The result may help inform the Community Coordination Group (CCG)’s consideration for the sequence of work. CCOICI members conducted a poll for ranking the three WS2 recommendations and below is the result: - Recommendation 1 (Diversity) is deemed to have the highest priority, - Recommendation 3 (Human Rights Framework) medium priority, and - Recommendation 2.3 (Standalone Framework for Exercising Empowered Community Powers) lowest priority As the GNSO Council Representative at the CCG, I have shared this priority ranking result that the CCG should tackle Recommendation 1 first, Recommendation 3 next, and Recommendation 2.3 last. It does not conflict with the preliminary agreement by the CCG to begin discussions with Recommendation 1.1 (Diversity Elements). In addition, please find below the notes from the first CCG meeting on 5 April 2022 to learn more about what has been discussed. Best Regards, Olga Cavalli *From: *ws2-ccg <ws2-ccg-bounces@icann.org> on behalf of Alperen Eken < alperen.eken@icann.org> *Date: *Wednesday, April 6, 2022 at 12:35 PM *To: *WS2 CCG <ws2-ccg@icann.org> *Subject: *[ws2-ccg] Discussion & Call Information | WS2 CCG Call on 05 April 2022 Dear CCG Participants, I hope this email finds you well. Thank you for joining the first Work Stream 2 Community Coordination Group meeting. For those who could not join the call, or those who wish to refresh your memories regarding what was discussed during the meeting, please check the agenda wiki page, <https://community.icann.org/x/JQ51Cw> where you can find the call recording as well as the chat archive, attendance record, notes, and action items. Please note the following action items, which represent preliminary agreements amongst the members present at the meeting. Attendees agreed that these items should be taken to the mailing list for full group approval. We will greatly appreciate input from members who were *not* able to join the call by *Wednesday, 13 April 2022, *as a final decision on these matters will help us plan the next meeting. 1. *Role and input of observers*. Attendees agreed that alternates and observers should be able to join and participate on calls (subject to any internal requirements from their respective appointing groups). 2. *Chair*. Attendees agreed that designation of a chair is not necessary at this time. Topic leads can be appointed on an “as needed” basis and the group can revisit the question of a Chair if the need arises. 3. *Call times*. Attendees agreed to keep Tuesday, 13-14 UTC as a one of two rotating meeting times. The second (rotating) time remains to be determined (likely via a Doodle poll). 4. *Frequency of calls*. Attendees agreed to have an initial call frequency of once a month, with proposed agendas circulated by staff two weeks prior to a meeting if possible. 5. *Progress reports*. Attendees agreed that the group should prepare periodic progress reports. 6. *Sequence of work*. Attendees did not have any concern with the proposal to begin the group’s discussions with Recommendation 1.1 (diversity elements). Best regards, Alperen Eken (on behalf of the ICANN org team supporting the CCG)
