<blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">Phil Corwin notes: On substance, there was majority support for most of the initial plan but less so for Contract Co. There was broad agreement that the
plan lacked adequate details, that the process was going too fast, and that it was impossible to make a meaningful final judgment until we had the interrelated accountability proposal to look at. The CWG is taking an internal survey on how to react to the
comments and will be working throughout next weekend to meet its January 15 deadline for submission to the ICG. </font>See Phil’s recent CircleID post on this topic (<a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/20150105_haste_makes_waste_icann_on_cwg_iana_transition_proposal_problems/" target="_blank">link</a>).</blockquote>
