Dear Grace

Brief information about procedures and consultations that has taken place within the GAC in relation to CWG. I`m not sure if we should put the exact dates for communication into the official report of the RFP5, but this has to be considered when we see the report from the other communities :

• 29^th of September  -  The GAC leadership group (Chair and Vice Chairs) sent out an e-mail to GAC members seeking final agreement on joining the CWG, including adopting the Group's Charter.
• 3^rd of October - Letter from the GAC Chair to Co-Chairs of the CWG Charter Drafting Team - confirming that the GAC has adopted the charter and will join as a chartering Organisation with two members.
• 12-15^th of October/ICANN meeting LA - Internal GAC discussions on the CWG charter and procedures for exchange of information from the members to the GAC. GAC rep in CWG-Stewardship has the responsibility to inform the GAC on CWG discussions and deliverables. For this purpose GAC members of the CWG has created a Workspace on the GAC website with systematic information from the CWG Wiki - including meeting schedules, agendas, notes and timelines for comments and deliverables. It has also been produced a GAC internal document mapping the scope of work in CWG Charter and IANA functions in current NTIA&IANA Contract  - against our existing GAC Advices.   
• In addition to the GAC Workspace, GAC members and members and participant of the CWG are using the GAC mailing list to point attention to specific items and discussions in the smaller working groups in the CWG. Since there is no opportunity to have a f2f GAC meeting between L.A and the CWG deadline, each GAC member has been invited to submit comments to GAC CWG members and participants to be put forward in the in the internal discussions in the CWG.
• 1^st of November - The draft principles of the CWG was forwarded to GAC for comments and analysis of overlaps against the GAC work on high level principles on IANA transition and associated accountability processes. The GAC broadly supported the draft principles from the CWG, but there was sustantial contributions from GAC members and topic leads on identifying  concerns to be forwarded in the discussions on the principles in the f2f meeting in Frankfurt.
• 11^th  of November  - GAC members of the CWG gave a report to the GAC on the latest discussions and developments in the CWG especially in regards of the work in RFP3 ( Post-Transition oversight and Accountability Arrangements ), the triage of IANA functioning contract and issues flowing from the IANA functions contract. On the 13^th of November the first "Strawman Matrix" with alternatives and a set out picture of models for discussion were forwarded to the GAC list. - asking for GAC colleagues comments on specific items before the f2f CWG meeting in Frankfurt. The GAC discussion and input online feed into the CWG items on, among others, Multistakeholder involvement, separation of ICANN/IANA and the establishing of an appeals mechanism. This was forwarded in the discussions in Frankfurt.  
• 26^th of November - Chairs' Statement and information update was sent to the GAC list for comments following the f2f meeting in Frankfurt.
• GAC will have a WEBINAR for all GAC member during the public comment period right after the CWG draft is publish.

Dear all, 

On behalf of the RFP5 subgroup, we'd like to start collecting information about the consultations within communities that have taken place to date. This is in order to validate the NTIA requirements and principles.

Please reply with an outline of your community consultations to date and/or a description of your outreach efforts to date. We will compile this information and provide it to the RFP5 subgroup for review.

Best, 

Grace
