Dear all, As agreed on the Working Group call that just ended, staff is recirculating the latest draft of the TMCH Charter Questions, which indicates which questions have been refined and clarified by the TMCH Charter Questions Sub Team. We are also attaching the slides that were used for our Working Group session at ICANN57, where you can see at a glance the refined Charter questions that had been agreed on by the Sub Team as of end-October. As mentioned on the call, these are all the suggested questions under the Guidance and Verification categories, plus the first question in the Balance category. Since Hyderabad, the Sub Team has made progress on additional questions in the Balance category, which you will see highlighted in green on the Tabulated Categories document. Please provide your comments and feedback, if any, on all these Charter questions that have been refined and agreed by the Sub Team, who will hopefully be in a position to present the remaining Charter questions at the Working Group call next week. We are also attaching the updated Work Plan that was displayed during the call. As with the Sub Team-agreed TMCH Charter questions, please provide your comments and feedback, if any, on the Work Plan as soon as possible. For the information of Working Group members who were not on the call, we hope to receive input shortly from Registries and Registrars on a set of specific questions that had been developed by the TMCH Data Gathering Sub Team – however, we have been informed that, given the workload and amount of requests that these two Stakeholder Groups have been receiving, the input may not be as timely or as comprehensive as we may have hoped. The TMCH Data Gathering Sub Team also developed a set of questions to be sent to the TMCH Providers – following some clarifications based on feedback received from ICANN GDD (who have been working with the TMCH Providers), those questions should be sent to the Providers by the end of this week.
