Subject: First thoughts


Dear team members,

Following Manal's excellent initiative yesterday, I would also like to share some initial thoughts on the issues we started to touch on yesterday. These are set out in the attached note on which I would very much welcome comments. The main points I would like to make are:

* The AoC already sets out detail the purpose of the group and the expected "deliverables". I don't think therefore that we need to spend too much additional time on drafting a separate terms of reference.

* We only have just over 8 months to finalise recommendations. It is important therefore that we quickly adopt a relatively simple (and hopefully transparent!) methodology,. My concern is the danger that we could spend a significant amount of time developing a complex approach, thereby reducing the time we will have available to execute it.

* The main input that we should seek for our work should be public comment and the views of the various supporting organisations and advisory committee members. The use of indicators and "quantitative and qualitative data" can be useful but we should only consider data already available to ICANN staff - we do not really have the time to start original research or even to instruct someone else to do it.

* The main task facing us is to hear the concerns that people have, decide to what extent they appear to be legitimate and, if possible, make recommendations about what ICANN can do to improve the situation.
Regards

Fabio
