Hi,<br>
<br>
I agree with this. Yes, we have a lot to to do, but in many cases
it is detail and tightening up the ideas. Having the comments of
our myriad communities will help us know that whether are on the
right track and may even give us clues on how to finish up the work.<br>
<br>
One of the things about the tail of a a project is it can go on for
a very long time while every I is crossed and t dotted. Being
forced to a deadline helps.<br>
<br>
As for likening this to a student's cramming for an exam, as with
that student, we had time for more intense work earlier in our
schedule, but it wasn't until the deadlines were looming that we
really bit into the task.<br>
<br>
I support the efforts being made to meet the deadlines and do not
think that this is the time to let up on the effort.<br>

<div>I agree with Jordan here. It's important we produce a
directional document that can be shared with our respective
communities. The sooner we do this, the sooner we can make
adjustments if needed. We have made tremendous progress and we
need to keep up the momentum, if not the pace. Thanks to all who
are carrying the heaviest loads.</div>

<div>hi all
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I wanted to share my thoughts on this topic as many
others have done.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Overall I am uncomfortable with the overall pace of our
work, but think we can make it work for us, for the cwg, and
for the community.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I only think this because we have changed our timetable
and our process to give ourselves much more time - from a
final comment doc being finalised on 6 April to a second
comment doc being finalised in July, and a whole additional
ICANN meeting cycle to talk with the community.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>While the detail of the work we are doing is complex, we
do have time to do it right.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We also have given ourselves time, in my view, to share
our core direction and proposals with the community in the
right level of detail by the end of this month.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
It is vital that we make clear what this first comment
document is soliciting - an affirmation of direction or a
production of alternative ideas for us to explore.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I would like a more gentle pace, and I would like more
time — we are not at the point right now where more time
wont help.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But I also want this transition to happen, and I don't
want our accountability work to slow it unnecessarily.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I've seen enough of the legal comment and had enough
conversations with you all to be confident of what we are
proposing as a legitimate package to ask our communities
about. I don't especially like it, but I have not seen
divides or gaps of a scale that demand another schedule
rewrite.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>None of this should be taken as a reflection on those who
have a different view - I'm just sharing my opinion.</div>
<div><br>
</div>

<div>Cheers</div>

I must join in the chorus of voices saying that this
compressed timeline is not going to produce a quality
proposal. Sure, we can slap something together, which
only a small handful have thought about, but we won't
get anywhere close to doing our best work, or even a
good proposal at this pace.<br>
<br>
We just don't have the time to think through all of the
issues that must be thought through and to have answers
to the questions that are foundational to the rest of
our work. The confusion about what is actually being
proposed and then advice that doesn't address what is
under consideration is but one example of how the
quality of our work is suffering by the frenetic pace.<br>
<br>
Either this group is in charge of its own processes, or
it isn't. It is beginning to look like the group is not
in control, as imaginary imposed "deadlines" are the
main driving consideration for us now. Not quality.
This is a grave mistake. We simply must take the time
to think all of this through and engage with the
community on these crucial matters. That is the only
way to get a quality result. The rush job to meet
imaginary deadlines is creating greater problems every
day and will only exacerbate as we go forward.<br>
<br>
I remain committed to participating in a dozen or so
calls a week, but I'm under no illusion that this
last-minute cram job will be any more effective at
building global governance institutions than it is to
college freshman learning on the night before their
final exam.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
