Umm Grace do I get a pass as I was an active part of the CWG that produced this :-P On 22 Mar 2016 3:10 am, "Grace Abuhamad" <grace.abuhamad@icann.org> wrote:
Dear all,
Just a quick note to remind you that there are 12 days left to submit comments on the draft framework principles for cross community working groups: https://www.icann.org/public-comments/ccwg-framework-principles-draft-2016-0... .
As of right now, only one comment has been submitted (by our faithful CCWG-Accountability co-Chair Mathieu Weill, no less!).
If you need a review of what this is all about, my original impassioned note is below :)
Best, Grace

Dear CWG-Stewardship and CCWG-Accountability members, participants, and observers,
I’m writing to request your expert feedback for the public comment on the draft framework principles for cross community working groups: https://www.icann.org/public-comments/ccwg-framework-principles-draft-2016-0.... I’ve attached the draft to the email for your convenience.
*Why you?* You are the experts. You are the past, the present, and the future of cross community working groups at ICANN. You have survived one (or both) of the big IANA Stewardship Transition working groups over the past two years, and you probably (I hope!) have a lot to reflect upon and share.
*What’s the point?* There are no agreed community-wide guidelines on the use of CCWGs, but they are such an *awesome* form of multistakeholder policymaking that the ICANN community is increasingly reliant on CCWGs for their policy efforts. The CCWG-Principles has taken on the task of developing a uniform framework of principles intended to guide the formation, initiation, operations and closure of future CCWGs.
*How much time do I have?* The public comment period opened on Monday this week. You have 39 days left, until *23 April at 23:59 UTC*. You could jot down some thoughts during your long plane rides to/from Marrakech, or even as you observe the action during the sessions!
The email to which your comments may be sent is: < comments-ccwg-framework-principles-22feb16@icann.org>. If you have any questions, please contact Mary Wong (cc’ed here).
I am passionate about this work because we’ve innovated and learned so much from the IANA Stewardship Transition working groups, and I have had the privilege and opportunity to work with both groups from their formation. I am keen to see where the outcome of this public comment period takes us next, and I very much hope that you will take pride in designing that path forward.
—Grace
