Thanks Steve!

 

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.

Subject: [Gnso-newgtld-wg] Sub Group - Call for Volunteers

 

Dear Working Group Members,

 

As you are likely aware, the public comment period for the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG’s Initial Report will close on 26 September 2018 (https://www.icann.org/public-comments/gtld-subsequent-procedures-initial-2018-07-03-en). 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. 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.

 

Best,

Steve
