Friendly reminder: Draft Final Report
by Bart Boswinkel June 1, 2017

June 1, 2017

Dear all, If you have any comment on the draft final report, please do not hesitate to share this with staff directly or with the full group. As said it would be most helpful if we would receive your comments by 1 June at the latest, to be able to circulate an updated version by 2 June, in time for the next call, Thank you and kind regards, Bart From: Bart Boswinkel <bart.boswinkel(a)icann.org> Date: Tuesday 23 May 2017 at 22:52 To: "ctn-crosscom(a)icann.org" <ctn-crosscom(a)icann.org> Subject: Draft Final Report Dear all, Following our earlier emails, staff has prepared a draft Final Report. Following today’s call the proposed way forward is that the CWG will now look at the updates and provide feed-back and comments before the next call, which is scheduled for 6 June 2017, 05.00 UTC. Please share your comments direct on list or with staff by Thursday 1 June 2017. This will allow staff to consolidate comments received and share it with you well before the meeting. As said on today’s call you will see that the suggested way forward is: 1. Leave the recommendations “as is”. The sense of the CWG that a harmonized framework is not feasible is supported and hence the recommendations that the CWG should close, but work continue as well. The feed-back received on recommendation C - how to structure future efforts- remains unresolved. Diverse views were submitted, ranging from a GNSO PDP to a ccNSO PDP and everything in between. 2. The comments that deal with the conclusions pertaining to the use of 2-letters, 3-letters codes and full name of countries and territories as TLD are also diverse. With respect to these comments staff suggests that these views and opinions included in a summarized version in the report, as an annex. Goal is that the next group, however structured is properly informed about the different views of the community. Kind regards, Bart

notes: CWG-UCTN, 23 May 2017 at 20 UTC.
by Joke Braeken May 23, 2017

May 23, 2017

All, Kindly find below the informal notes as taken during the CWG-UCTN meeting today, 23 May 2017 at 20 UTC. Notes: 1. Welcome and roll call 2. Public comment summary Analysis of the comments. The comments refer to 3 categories: 1. recommendations of the CWG 2. text of the Interim Report 3. Proposals and rationales with respect to use of 2-letter codes, 3-letter codes and full names of country and territory names. first category The majority of those that commented on the recommendations, were in favour of closing the group, and having a consolidated effort after closing this group. The work of this group should continue, as an all-inclusive dialogue. chartering organisations and broader group should have a further discussion on how they want to structure future work in this area. second category no suggestions to change the text itself. Suggestions were more on the use of 2 and 3-letter codes, than on the text of the recommendations themselves. Jaap Akkerhuis suggested to clarify parts of the framed text in section 1. That suggested change will be included in the next version of this document third category Diverse set of alternatives or proposals on how to deal with the 2-letter codes. See annex E. Next group should be informed of all the comments received. That is why we included Annex E. The substance of 2-letter codes is very diverse. Going over the debate will take quite some time. 3. Update interim report / final report executive summary. red-lined version with the proposed changes was shared. Questions are welcome via the mailing list. 4. & 5. Next call and Next steps first reading of the changes in the text and a proposed way forward. Next call is scheduled in 2 weeks time on Tuesday, 6 June 2017 at 05:00 UTC for 60 minutes. Subsequent procedures PDP was followed by Annebeth, however mentioned that the work tracks are very difficult to follow, since they cover so many different aspects. A smaller more pointed WG is needed for discussing geographic names. Individual members should consider whether this could be a way forward. Bart: the WG is not able to come up with a format of the next steps. There is no uniform recommendation, and it is beyond the scope of this WG. This is something for discussion by the chartering organisations and their respective communities on how to go forward. You are kindly invited to look at the report, and comment on the mailing list. The report gives an excellent background and input for future work efforts. Thank you.

Agenda and material CCWG -n CTN call 23 May 2017, 20.00 UTC
by Bart Boswinkel May 22, 2017

May 22, 2017

Dear all, Following our earlier emails, staff has prepared a draft update and proposed way forward. Included is the version 01 draft Final report As you will see the major changes are: 1. Leave the recommendations “as is”. The feed-back received, in particular on recommendation C is even more divergent then the recommendations themselves. 2. Some comments deal with the conclusions pertaining to the use of 2-letters, 3-letters codes and full name of countries and territories. Staff suggest that these different views and opinions are summarized and included in the report, as an annex. Goal is that the next group, however structured is properly informed about the different views in the community. Proposed Agenda Tuesday, 23 May 2017 at 20:00 UTC: 1. Welcome and roll call 2. Public comment summary 3. Update Interim report/ Final report 4. Next steps 5. Next call 6. Closure Kind regards, Bart From: <ctn-crosscom-bounces(a)icann.org> on behalf of Bart Boswinkel <bart.boswinkel(a)icann.org> Date: Wednesday 10 May 2017 at 16:07 To: "ctn-crosscom(a)icann.org" <ctn-crosscom(a)icann.org> Subject: [Ctn-crosscom] Public comments Interim Report , staff summary of comments Dear all, As you know the public comment period on the Interim paper closed 21 April. Staff has posted a summary of the comments received 04 May (https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/report-comments-cwg-uctn-interi…) Based on an initial analysis, the comments received refer to three categories: 1. The recommendations of the CWG. 2. The text of the Interim Report. 3. Proposals and rationales with respect to the use of 2- letter codes, 3-letter codes and fullnames of country and territories as TLDs. The CWG has not discussed any of the comments received to date. With respect to the draft recommendations of the CWG, based on thesummary of the comments received: There is general support for closure of the CWG and consolidation of community efforts. Further, the consolidated efforts should be part of an all-inclusive dialogue. However, how commenters see how this dialogue should be shaped is not conclusive: some comment that it should be as a formal Policy Development Process, either as a GNSO or ccNSO Policy Development Process. Others opt for a cross-community effort, and one commenter requested additional clarification. Moving forward: Staff will send out invites for 2 or 3 calls leading up to the Johannesburg ICANN meeting to work towards a final report in time for that meeting. In preparation of that meeting we suggest that staff will look at the text of the Interim report to and suggestion by commenters on the text and provide a red-line before the first call or a suggestion for rationale not to include the suggested change. Staff will also suggest a way forward with respect to the comments on the use of 2, and 3 letter codes and full andnames of countries and territories. Kind regards, Bart
