Notes

1. Opening Remarks

Final proposal to be distributed to chartering organizations later today
No objections or minority statements received
Need to start looking ahead to the ICANN meeting in BA in order to secure the support of the chartering organizations
Need support from the members and participants in doing so. All to serve as ambassadors for the proposal and assist in securing support.

2. Transfer of Final Proposal

CWG-Co-Chairs to transfer proposal to chartering organizations today together with a coverning note which will also highlight
work remaining such as SLEs (staff to project manage together with DTA members, also ensure NTIA approval for such work
as well as secure possible budget needed).
Consider renaming DTA to SLE ad-hoc working group with possible additions to original membership of DTA which includes 3 ccTLD
and 3 gTLD registry reps (see also proposed work plan circulated by Paul Kane to CWG mailing list). A URL link will be created so
that work in progress can be followed by anyone interested. Do GNSO and ccNSO need to give formal approval? Yes, it may be
helpful to get ccNSO/GNSO support for continuing with this work - can be done as part of the hand-over of the final proposal.
IPR issue will also be flagged in the cover letter and discussed with the client committee. Will require further co-ordination with
ICG and other operational communities.

3. Communication Points

· Two webinars taking place today (one this morning, one later this afternoon). Over 60 participants attended the first webinar - several questions
regarding process following adoption by chartering organizations.

· Slide deck will be made available to all, in pdf and ppt format, the latter allowing for customization as needed.

· Linkage with CCWG needs to be well understood. Chairs of both groups working on a blog that will highlight linkage and co-operation between the two groups as well as the conditionality

4. ICANN 53 -- Buenos Aires

See ICANN 53 relevant meetings schedule on the wiki (https://community.icann.org/x/EJg0Aw).
Important to take people along on the journey that has occurred, but also explaining substance and linkage with CCWG.
Clarify that both ccNSO and GNSO need to approve initiation of IFR (ensure that there is no misunderstanding). For example, 'Both of the
ccNSO and GNSO Councils (each by a supermajority)'.
Also clarify that CSC escalates to ccNSO and GNSO, does not initiate an IFR on its own.
CCWG will take lead on town hall meeting, with contribution from CWG-Stewardship.

5. Beyond ICANN 53

Provided no objections are made / approvals received in BA, transmittal to the ICG would be the next step.
How to follow up on work of SlEs as well as implementation related issues? Charter foresees that 'the CWG will consult with the ICG representatives
to determine when it can consider its work completed'.
Advisable to have process in place if questions come back from chartering organizations / ICG.
Need to revisit mandate for Sidley, in consultation with ICANN to determine what role, if any it would play following submission of final proposal to
chartering organizations, in relation to implementation.
