While I do agree with the initiative as a whole, I remain concerned about further fragmenting the group by generating more mailing lists and parallel calls. Just my 2 cents. Regards, Mark W.

Ciao Sarmad Firstly I applauds for crafting such well conscripted charter just a trivial elucidation it’s cited that Chair of the Working Group: - *UASG Leadership team would nominate the working group chair(s), in consultation with the working group members.* Will this be concluded by voting of working group members for inspiring transparency?

Dear Sarmad - and all, Kudos for the initiative. I personally believe that we need to promote local initiatives. This said, I wonder whether a formal charter so detailed will address best the need of getting more input from the local communities. Let’s put aside for the moment some objections on whether “one size fits all” and therefore whether a formally centralised decided charter will be the best option, and go to some o the practical aspects. I have no idea on what is the (geographical) size of the local initiative that is envisaged by this proposal. Are we talking about regions like “Middle East” or “Latin America”, or are we narrowing down to “South Caucasus” or even language minorities? In the former case, it might become a formal ratification of what can already exist - maybe using the ICANN regions as a model - but like almost every formalisation of the existent will not add anything that is really creating new opportunities. The latter case would be more interesting by far. But in this case, are we sure that a local, motivated and enthusiastic but resources-limited, community could comply with a charter like this? Maybe there are not enough local developers or experts, considering the detail of the required roles? My personal opinion - but I don’t want to get into philosophy - is that while the local communities can be by far our best option to identify the problems and the issues that have local impact due to the local specificity, the technical solution might best be addressed by a wide collaboration by technical experts. In simple words, the technical solution to an issue manifesting itself in Latin America can come from an expert living in SE-Asia. However, I might have missed some points in the initiative - in this case I would appreciate feedback helping me understand better.

Dear Sarmad and all, Here are some of my comments, questions and suggestions on the Draft Charter for Local Initiatives (in the attachment). As we have such an initiative in our region already, I can surely say that the document is quite useful and will help to better organize new LIs and to understand the scope of work which they are expected to do in a region. But it also must be flexible to fit the regional diversities and give room to make local work in a way that really meet the challenges and expectations of LI’s members. Thank you!

Dear Sarmad and all, Thanks for the document, which to me appears to be a great starting point for discussions. I'd like clarification on the following matter: There appear to be two structures being discussed in the document: * UASG's Local Initiatives WG, which is an apex-level thematic WG * Local Initiatives (LIs) that are proposed to be started in different geographies (such as "South Caucasus") The draft Charter seems to cover both, but both these aspects are mixed (some points refer to the WG while other adjacent text refers to LIs). Can we cleanly separate the two? (or maybe I'm missing something here...). With kind regards, satish On Tue, Jul 30, 2019 at 9:34 PM Maria Kolesnikova <masha@cctld.ru> wrote:
