Ideally we would like to keep this group to a manageable size and as such I would like to emphasize that the task of the DT is to develop the charter for this effort. The subsequent CCWG will be responsible for undertaking the substantive work and is expected to be open to everyone to participate in. It is the expectation that the volunteers assigned by your respective groups will be responsible for ensuring that input from your groups will be shared and taken into account as part of the drafting process. To take advantage of the opportunity to meet face-to-face, we've arranged for the DT to have its first meeting on Thursday, 16 October from 9:45-11:00 local time, immediately following the <http://la51.icann.org/en/schedule/thu-enhancing-accountability> Enhancing ICANN Accountability session in Senators I (Mezzanine Level). We realize this DT meeting overlaps with other meetings, but we believe it's essential for the DT to take advantage of the ICANN51 meeting to meet in-person. As you identify your representatives, please let Grace Abuhamad ( <mailto:grace.abuhamad@icann.org> grace.abuhamad@icann.org) know so she can start the mailing list for this effort. Thank-you for your ongoing collaboration in this matter on this critical topic and please do highlight to me if I have inadvertently left someone off the distribution list.
