CWG-RFP5 - NTIA Requirements (validation of)
CWG-RFP6 - Community Process (summary of)

Proposed way forward

Given the timeline (included as CWG Stewardship Timeline) it was agreed by those on the call, that work on some the items should be done in parallel and hence smaller groups wcould do the preparatory work and report back to the larger group, whilst everybody could chime in, if needed, during the preparatory work which is expected to be largely carried out on the general mailing list (one suggestion to keep this manageable for all would be to clearly indicate in the subject of the email which sub-group it concerns).

Signing-up for a work item

During the call and following the meeting, some of you already signed up to one or more of the listed items in the chat. If you want to contribute to one or more of the work items, or we have listed you incorrectly, please send Marika off-list your name, affiliation and there reference number listed above, preferably by Friday 24 October 2014 noon UTC at the latest. This would allow the teams to start their work as soon as possible. Once a core of a team has been established, the team members are requested to appoint one or two rapporteur(s). The role of the rapporteur)s) is to report back to the whole group on progress made to date and act as point of contact from the chairs perspective.

Wiki Work spaces and other facilities

Staff will create a wiki-page for each of the work items, which will include at a minimum: the list of volunteers who signed-up, the rapporteur (to be appointed by those, who signed) and working documents, with ability to comment.

If so required by a team, staff could set-up a call for the smaller teams. These call will be recorded and published on the wiki-page, as well as any presentations during such a call. These calls will of course be open to ~~all~~ other members and participants should they be interested in joining. Staff has also created a repository for documents related to each of the items (see CWG-organizing work attachment).

Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the co-chairs or staff directly or send a question to the list.

On behalf of the co-chairs, kind regards,

Marika and Bart
