Dear members of the CWG The SLE Design Team had a productive call with ICANN/IANA last night and the attached statement was agreed. We would like to move that the attached statement is included in the CWG Proposal which should also include two URLs - one to show our past work and the second URL to show the SLE document under development. The second proposal for the CWG consideration is confirmation from the CWG that the Design Team and IANA are authorised to continue working together past the submission of the proposal to the ICG. It may need to be a specific recommendation from the CWG to the ICG that the SLE Design Team continues its work. This proposal need to be agreed with the ICG as we are unsure when the CWG will cease to have any authority to develop the transition proposal. I will be on the CWG call today from approximately 17-30 UTC - apologies for being late - existing day job commitments. Kind regards Paul
