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

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
