Dear Amr,

sorry if my message sounded professorial in tone - it was just to illustrate the trials and time wasted on process when the ALAC & NCSG did something which appeared to be nimble to start with - ICANN catches up with you! :-) We're in violent agreement.
Kind regards,

Olivier

Only meant to use it as an example for a CCWG that was established with only one of the GNSO's stakeholder groups along with another AC. I don't recall it ever being referred to as a joint working group rather than a CCWG, but if you say so, I will defer to your account of it.
