Hi Stéphane,

Suggested covering letter for other SO / AC’s on the work of the CWG DT.

Dear Colleagues,

You may be aware that over the course of last year the GNSO Council formed and operated a drafting team to examine the issues associated with the formation and operation of Community / Cross-Community working groups.

The output of the drafting team was encapsulated in a set of draft principles which were accepted by the Council through a motion passed at the 14 March 2012 meeting of the GNSO Council. 

The motion is linked to here:

https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocouncilmeetings/Motions+14+March+2012

The draft principles are linked to here:

http://gnso.icann.org/drafts/draft-principles-for-cwgs-23dec11-en.pdf

It is important to note here that work undertaken by the drafting team was undertaken specifically in order to develop a GNSO Council agreed perspective.

The output shared here is not in any way intended to presume that this is a broader, community agreed position. 

Accordingly we are offering this work as input into the discussion which you may wish to initiate or further develop within your organisation or committee.

Regards,

Stéphane
