all, allow me to share the following thought with you:<br>
We are in a crucial time for the CCWG requiring to act in a coordinated
manner on the upcoming Devoted Calls with the aim of assisting the
CCWG in finalizing Recommendation 11,including some adjustments in
Recommendation 1 which enable CCWG to assemble the Supplementary Report.
This Report needs to be issued well in advance of the Marrakech
meeting if the overall timeline for IANA stewardship transition is to be
maintained. Given that the CCWG is working hard to agree a compromise in the
current round of virtual meetings,</font></span></b></p><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman" size="3">

find a compromise and not merely insist on the wishes, requirements and
expectations of every single SO and AC but on the contrary make utmost efforts
to satisfy ,to the extent practiceable and possible the entire community.</font></span></b></p><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman" size="3">
