<p>Hello Brett,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>I think we may be talking pass each other here. What is currently being done in relation to transparency is a NEW issue under WS1 i.e things required for stewardship transition to happen.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>I don't agree to the rationale that need for transparency is largely dependent on what model is decided upon. Transparency is an act that should always be encouraged (within the mission of an organisation) and its a continuous effort as much as it's a very
tricky topic that needs to be carefully addressed (just like human rights within ICANN). Going members route would not necessarily increase/reduce transparency neither will designator, hence its model independent. So IMO that reason just does not "draw much
water".<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>Again a transcript, TOR, and timeline pointers for these new item would be appreciated as I have not found one yet.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p>Thanks Brett, I may have missed that particular session where it was decided that additional items be introduced to WS1. A pointer to that transcript will be helpful and it will also be good to know what working party James team is called, their TOR and
what their meeting modalities/timelines are.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>That said, I am concerned that the CCWG is introducing new items at this last minutes of WS1. It makes me wonder what our priorities are.<u></u><u></u></p>
