Proposed ICANN57 Agenda – Draft is attached, but subject to revision. 1.            Welcome and introductions 2.            Current Status (Overarching issues/CC1) 3.            Work Track based discussions 1.  Overarching issues/CC1: · Work Track 3 -- rounds vs. first-come, first-served process.  Everything else we had public discussion in Helsinki.  Don't need to go over the overall topics again.  Can stick to a status update, but won't go down any of the issues. · Ask liaisons to CCT-RT, RPMs, to provide a brief update.  Add as a new number 3 in the agenda. · Work Track based discussions.  Asked each WT to provide some teaser questions for community input. 2. Work Track (WT) based discussions WT1: [reading from the draft agenda] · Question 1: Help spur the conversation on the Applicant Support Program.  Still looking for input.  Question 2: Update based on input from Donna Austin.  Question 2 should read: “From RSP Accreditation to Third-Party Certifier – What is the most effective method to meet the needs of RSPs, Registries and Registrars?” · Also include applicants as this is one of the problems we're trying to solve and consider how they might be affected.  Don't include if there isn't a specific concern. WT2: [reading from the draft agenda] · Question: Do we need more reserved names re the IANA transition?  Such as PTI? · Question 2, WT2: Since it is different between RNWG and what was the result in the AGB - especially for geographical names - there is a need to see those two documents in connection. · Question: on our last call we were talking about top level and second level, for this question I think need to be clear what level we are talking about. · We also have 2 characters, single character IDNs, etc.  Also have IGOs. Red Cross, IOC, etc. · Questions re: COI / LOC - we would appreciate feedback from applicant's experiences/ problems. · CWG-UCTN is aiming to wrap up an Interim Report (aka Initial Report) around the end of this year.  A progress report of sorts is being prepared for ICANN57 discussions. WT3: 1) Rounds vs. Continuous (first come, first served).  Impact on string contention.  2) Do we need an Independent Objector in future? WT4: [reading from the draft agenda] · Currently in consultations with JAS and other Stakeholder Groups.  · Change Question #1 -- not application submission process, but the application evaluation process. General question: In the unlikely circumstance that we don't have a very talkative audience does anyone have some backup questions? · If you are going to ask an open-ended question such as #1: you should create some rules about participating in order to manage the discussion, i.e., present you idea and why the change should be made - we will compile all the suggestions for discussion by the group. · Registry agreement categories -- in the overall issues, have more discussion in Hyderabad?  Handle in the appropriate track (WT2)?  Yes.
