Dear WT3 members, Please see below the action items and discussion notes captured by staff from the meeting on 13 September. These high-level notes are designed to help Work Track 3 Sub Team members navigate through the content of the call. Please also see the recording on the meetings page at: https://community.icann.org/x/vQ2bAw. Best, Steve Notes/Action Items: 3. No objections to Karen Day as the second co-chair. 4. Avri - full group will discuss letter from the ICANN Board as a priority, ahead of resuming consideration of CC1 input. 5. Jian - Meeting times: initial plan is to rotate between 0300, 1500, 2000 UTC. Meeting frequency: Group will meet every 2 weeks, at least initially. Task Prioritization: String similarity - how closely related is the IDN subject? Jeff - String similarity should take place before string contention. String contention might not exist depending upon allocation method (e.g., first come first served) Objections: staff to determine how many objections filed (type, outcomes) Working Methods: Mike Rodenbaugh - should we be reviewing the existing principles and recommendations or should the time be spent on considering the subjects. Context matters. Jeff - Map the objections to principles/recommendations and determine if the purpose was met Jian - Difference of opinions on relationship between principles to recommendations 7. ACTION ITEMS · WG Members - Consider how the Board letter impacts the work plan of this WT. · Staff - Map principles/recommendations to objection grounds · Staff - Gather statistics for objections · Staff - Investigate what existing reports might exist regarding objections (and other subjects for that matter).
