<p dir="ltr">Hello Brett,</p>
<p dir="ltr">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.</p>
<p dir="ltr">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".</p>
<p dir="ltr">Again a transcript, TOR, and timeline pointers for these new item would be appreciated as I have not found one yet.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Regards</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">It is not a new issue, transparency was always on the accountability to do list. It was just not as considered as urgent as other issues because of the powers
inherent in the membership model. The recent change in models was the impetus for the change, not a random desire to introduce items at the last minute. If membership had remained the model, in my opinion, I don’t think this would have happened.

<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>
<p>Thanks again for your response.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p>If I may ask, which of the work stream or working party does this fall? Will be good to know what action item of the CCWG gave birth to this. A pointer will be appreciated.<u></u><u></u></p>
