Hi Chuck,

Would the following better address your concerns:

In appointing their members, the chartering organizations should note that the CWG’s decision-making methodologies require that CWG members act by consensus, and that polling will only be used in rare instances and with the recognition that such polls do not constitute votes.

Thanks Stephanie. The minor edits looks okay to me.

With regard to the sentence you crafted below, I personally prefer it if we directly include a description of what we want them to see rather than making a reference to because I suspect that some people will not take the time to go to the reference. If we do it as you suggest, I suggest we specifically refer to the section in the charter that contains what we want them to review. What do others think?

Added the following to language regarding Membership criteria:

In appointing members the CWG, the chartering organizations should note the CWG’s decision-making methodologies with respect to consensus calls and polling.

Have made a few other minor edits throughout reflected in the attached, which I believe are non-substantive/reflective of previous group discussion.

Hi Chuck,

I think this is better wording and am happy with this. Many thanks.

Cheers, Julie

Thanks Allan. Now I know what the intent was. Would the following work: “That proposal may include alternativeoptions for specific features within it, provided that each option carries comparable support from the CWG. ”

Chuck – I worked on this with Julie. The objective here was to give the CWG the flexibility of providing more than one option, but not the flexibility to provide dissenting opinions, that is options on which there is no consensus e.g. ‘we are happy with any of these options because we have achieved the same level of consensus on all of them’.

Importance: High

Thanks Julie. The second sentence isn’t clear to me. If I had to explain what it means to others, I don’t think I could do that. Can you possibly tweak it some? What do you mean by ‘specific features’? What kind of features? Maybe some examples would help. Also, what does ‘the same level of consensus’ mean? Same level of consensus as what? Do you simply mean ‘each option has consensus support of the group’?

Hi Everyone,

I propose that the first sentence in the section titled 'Goals and Objectives' be amended to read:

The primary goal of the Cross Community Working Group to Develop an IANA Stewardship Transition Proposal (CWG) will be to produce a consolidated transition proposal for the elements of the IANA Functions relating to the Domain Name System. That proposal may include options for specific features within it, provided that each option carries the same level of consensus from the CWG.

Cheers, Julie

Thanks Marika and CWG Colleagues,

The agenda below is the one I expect we will now follow.

As proposed a little over a week ago and also below, I think the realistic way to work through the charter in the time allocated for the call is to seek objections to / concerns with the current wording.

To the extent that members are OK with the wording, we’ll take that as read.

Many thanks to those who have contributed to getting this in such good shape over a relatively short time,

Talk with you all at 13h00 UTC.

Jonathan

Dear All,

Please find below the proposed agenda for Monday's DT meeting, subject to revisions by the co-chairs and input from the DT. Having discussed this with Jonathan, we would like to encourage you to identify any other items beyond those listed in agenda item 2 that in your view need to be further discussed by the DT – we will operate under the assumption that apart from those items already identified and additional items that may get flagged prior to the meeting, the current language / proposed edits as in the latest version of the charter as attached are acceptable by all and do not need further discussion.

Please note that in the attached version (based on the version that Julie sent earlier today), I've added some proposed wording to the 'additional resources required' section to highlight that this is something the CWG should preferably focus on at an early stage as it is unlikely that the DT at this point in time will be in a position to identify what additional resources the CWG may need.

If you have any comments and/or questions, please share those with the list.

Best regards,

Marika

Proposed Agenda – DT Meeting – Monday 11 August at 13.00 UTC

Welcome & roll call
Draft Charter - Review open items (membership, no consensus, additional resources – DT members to identify which other sections / items need further review ahead of the meeting)
Confirm deadline for final edits / comments with aim to have DT Chairs submit charter to all SO/ACs by 14 August at the latest for consideration
Any next steps for the DT while SO/ACs consider the charter for approval?
AOB
Closure
