Hi Jeff, In our IPC Membership call today, Michael Flemming said the topic of representatives from the Constituency for the Subgroups was not yet ripe. I think there is some misunderstanding on Michael’s part since you had said the Subgroups will meet separately in Barcelona during the same time slot. In addition, all WG members have to pick a SubGroup by October 8. It’s hard to see how one person could perform that representative role when the SubGroups meet separately to review the public comments. In order to understand the impact of public comment thoroughly, a rep would need to participate in the relevant SubGroup. Michael has already said he cannot assume the representative role for any of the SubGroups since it is a great time commitment. Anne Anne E.

Just to add, that we were asked a great question by Jim on the last call about the exact scope and nature of these Subgroups including the “rules of engagement” on how these groups will work. The leadership team discussed this in our weekly meeting and we are committed to getting you this information at a high level in the next week or two; and in detail at ICANN63. As we also stated on the full working group call, you are free to join any or all of the Subgroups depending on the time you are able to commit. In order to be a “participant” in any of the Subgroups, you must first be listed as a “participant” in the overall Working Group. However, to be an “observer” in any of these Subgroups, you may be either an observer or participant in the overall Working Group. Finally, a reminder, that we have out next meeting on Monday, September 24th at 20:00 UTC. A formal agenda will be sent out shortly, but as a heads up, we expect to cover (a) a second reading of Section 1.5 of the Supplemental Initial Report, (b) a third reading of comments to sections 1.1-1.4 of the Initial Report, (c) a final call on our matrix on SAC 90 which covers existing items which we believe are already being addressed as well as items of future work we need to do, (d) a review of expected activities at ICANN63, and (e) an initial assessment of work required by the Final CCT-RT report. Please let us know if you have any questions or comments. Jeffrey J.

The plan for reviewing those public comments includes establishing 3 Sub Groups, each responsible for approximately a third of the Initial Report. You can see the topics assigned to each of the Sub Groups here, respectively: Sub Group A: https://community.icann.org/display/NGSPP/Sub+Group+A Sub Group B: https://community.icann.org/display/NGSPP/Sub+Group+B Sub Group C: https://community.icann.org/display/NGSPP/Sub+Group+C Generally speaking, the remit of these sub groups is to consider the public comment received and to help organize and tabulate those comments; the Sub Groups are not expected to develop recommendations. If you are interested in joining any or all of these Sub Groups as a member or observer, please send a message indicating as such to gnso-secs@icann.org<mailto:gnso-secs@icann.org>. Please aim to join the groups by 8 October 2018 at the latest. Leadership and staff know that a very important part of deciding which group to sign up for is the work schedule and the expected time commitment. We are currently working on that now and hope to share that with you all soon, and certainly well in advance of the deadline indicated above. Finally, if you have any questions, do let us know.
