Scheduling the next few meetings for our Working Group
by Mary Wong April 28, 2016

April 28, 2016

Dear all, Due to some scheduling conflicts that have arisen since our last call, our Working Group co-chairs, Petter and Phil, as well as staff would like to propose the following new days and times for the next two Working Group calls: * Thursday 5 May, 1600 UTC, to discuss your feedback and questions for Prof Swaine on his final memo * Thursday 19 May, 1600 UTC (pending Prof Swaine’s availability), to discuss his responses to our feedback and questions Due, again, to scheduling conflicts, there will not be any Working Group calls on 12 or 26 May (both Thursdays); however, it is likely that we will continue to schedule calls at this time on Thursdays in June, up to the dates of the ICANN56 meeting in Helsinki. As such, please let us know as soon as possible if you absolutely cannot participate in any Working Group calls on these dates and times. Thank you! Cheers Mary Mary Wong Senior Policy Director Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Email: mary.wong(a)icann.org<mailto:mary.wong@icann.org> Telephone: +1-603-5744889

Final opinion memo from Professor Edward Swaine
by Mary Wong April 26, 2016

April 26, 2016

Dear Working Group members, I am pleased to attach the final version of the memo that Professor Edward Swaine prepared for our Working Group, in accordance with the terms of reference that were provided to him. As noted previously, Petter and Phil have already seen a near-final version of this document, which in its final form does not change the substantive points made in the version they saw. You will note that although the memo is not structured strictly as individual answers to the questions we posed, Professor Swaine has tried to address all the specific points for which we had questions. He has also offered a few possible ideas for the Working Group to consider as we move forward with our discussions, which staff believes wasreasonable to include in his expert advice. Please look for a further note confirming the time and date of the next Working Group meeting to discuss your feedback and questions on Professor Swaine’s memo. Petter and Phil would like to gather these and invite Professor Swaine to a subsequent Working Group call to respond to or elaborate on his written advice, as appropriate. Thanks and cheers Mary Mary Wong Senior Policy Director Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Email: mary.wong(a)icann.org Telephone: +1-603-5744889
