If I may be so bold as to make a suggestion, perhaps a briefing for the WG, recorded for review by others, could:
1) Go over the current state of affairs policy-wise - what's upcoming that needs work at present, what's upcoming soon;
2) Go over the state of technical development - testing round, any outcomes from that, next steps, development of technical standards required (email, etc).
3) Discuss the fast-track proposals, and the issues which have been brought up in relation to them.
Would this suit the WG members, and help you Fatimata - obviously please do let me know if there is something else that would be more useful.

I am happy to arrange time with relevant ICANN staff to help brief you and indeed the WG members too if that would be helpful - though in truth Hong is so knowledgeable she is as per usual somewhat irreplaceable in this role :)

Hi all,
I have accepted to be the IDN WG chair but I as a new ALAC member, I need time to learn and master all the related issues, which I am doing. Yesterday, I sent an email to Hong and Mohamed for advise and support. In French speaking countries, when a position is suddenly replaced, there is what we call "passation de service" from the former to the new chair for a smooth transition. If that is not the case here I will take any support from who ever among the ALAC community is able and willing to help.
Bret, this is to tell you that the only call for public comments I saw is about "Introduction of IDN ccTLD", open on December 19th to be closed on January 25th.
Thank you all and best,
Fatimata

I trust the new chair of the WG will do.

you forward them to the list, or perhaps, can you forward me a link to
the WG list? I'd like to take account of the other comments while I
draft some thoughts of my own.
