Dear CWG members,

I am pleased to inform you that at the last meeting on 5 June Becky Burr (ccNSO) and John Berard (GNSO), our interim co-chairs, were nominated to be our permanent co-chairs by Cheryl Langdon Orr, with Allan Macgillivray as seconder. Becky and John have graciously accepted their nominations and unless there are any objections staff will forward their names to the ccNSO and GNSO Councils – the two original chartering organizations for this CWG – for their confirmation. 

Congratulations and thank you, Becky and John!

During the call, participants also expressed a wish for staff to work with Becky and John to appoint a third co-chair, possibly from another SO/AC, to support them in their work. As such, we will be approaching the relevant SO/AC chairs to seek their input and assistance on this point soon.

The recording, transcripts and documents from the 5 June meeting can be found on the group wiki space here: https://community.icann.org/x/TqHhAg 

Please note that the next meeting will be held during the ICANN50 meeting in London, on Monday 23 June at 1330 London time.
