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

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.
