Tomorrow in the CPWG meeting, we will be looking for ideas on how the multistakeholder processes currently in effect can be improved. The following broad issues were identified -- I have thrown in a few questions to promote discussion -- but we need some real suggestions about how to move forward.

Precision in scoping -- too wide/too narrow?

Prioritization -- evening out the work flow, identifying which issues are most important? Relating that to the cost of implementation. Too many urgent items on the table at the same time, not enough volunteers to carry the load

Efficient use of resources -- time, money and people -- is there a lot of wasteage? How can that be improved? How to ease the volunteer burnout problems

Work processes -- do we have adequate tools to do the jobs required? Is engagement sporadic? Are team members well briefed and supported? Does the MS model, as it is practised at ICANN adequately deal with language and cultural barriers?

Costs -- not just financial, but also volunteer time. Would more financial resources improve things? Is there enough transparency around costing? How are costing and priorizing related?
