Dear Working Group Members,

 

Below are the action items from the WG’s face-to-face meeting on 29 June in Johannesburg. The action items, notes, AC room recording, transcripts and documents used in the meeting are posted on the meeting wiki page here: https://community.icann.org/x/qwffAw.

 

You will find the majority of comments made during the meeting have been captured in the notes, and those that need to be incorporated into the next iteration of a working document of refined Charter questions, will be done by staff. This will be subject to review by the WG members. However, in some cases, Mary and I may be following up individually with participants from the meeting in Johannesburg (particularly those who are not members of the working group) to be sure that all comments have been accurately captured.

 

Thanks.

 

Amr
