SO: I think this should be for the advisors to determine as I expect ccwg
to take any comment from the advisors as an advice from the advisors. It's
now left to the advisor to determine how best they want to coordinate.
However if I were to advice the "advisors" ;-) I would remove "independent
input" from the option as it would be helpful for advisors to discuss
amongst themselves to provide more quality input.

have been flagged by the CCWG and routed through the chairs? Or should
they/ can they flag issues they feel are important - weighed from their
expertise.

SO: I would prefer the later so long as their comments comes in during the
period when the topic is also discussed; It will not be productive to have
advisors providing suggestion/advice after the ccwg has observed/achieved
consensus on a particular issue.

SO:
I like and appreciate this question, there is the reality that the next 1
billion internet users will be from the developing world. Intentionally
getting them involved in this process is critical...While there are
existing efforts already made in this direction... there is also need to
improve upon it.

ICANN to be truly representative in the years to come?

SO: In addition to the response above, the ccwg outcome need to ensure that
there is always avenue to ensure participation of developing world. There
is need to always apply the principle of the "young shall grow" (if given
the opportunity), followed by the principle of "old is not wise" to ensure
diversity and continuity.

Thanks for the share Arun
