From this co-chair’s perspective, the WG should take the time it needs to refine and focus the URS Charter questions and not be bound by any artificial constraints.

Thanks very much Julie,

 

The WG knows this is no small task for you guys on the staff side. 

 

We really appreciate your work, and will keep an eye out for the next version.

Hi Susan,

 

Thanks so much for your request to allow 2 Working Group meetings to finalize the table and staff has noted it, as well as that it was also requested by Brian.  In addition, staff notes the request to circulate the updated table as quickly as possible, with amble time for the WG members to review before next week’s call.

 

Kind regards,

Julie

All

Thanks to Julie and the other staff members for producing and circulating this new table for the charter questions.

 

I would like to reiterate and support the comments Brian Beckham made last week (21 November).  Like Brian, I will not be able to join the call this week since the “Asia-friendly” rotation is not at all Europe-friendly.  This charter question table, which has only just been circulated, captures various comment and discussion but generally has not reached the point where it could be considered to be suggested refinement text for the charter question.  So, based on the comment which has been captured, further work is clearly required to turn this into suggested refinement text that the WG can agree on.  Given the timing, we have not been able to advance this over email before the call, and I would like to repeat Brian’s request that in the circumstances we allow at least 2 working group calls to finalise this charter text. 

 

It would also be extremely helpful, for those of us not on the call, if any proposed text that the group does coalesce around could please be circulated in an updated version of the table as soon as possible after the call.  This will allow work to progress on the list prior to next week’s call. 

 

Many thanks
