We are pleased to hear that the CCWG-AP is now starting its work on creating one or more proposals for the Board’s consideration and we wish this work well over the coming months. The Board wishes to convey the following.</span><span lang="EN-IE" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:PMingLiU"><br>
<br>
</span><span lang="EN-IE" style="font-size:11.0pt">First, to confirm what I think is already well understood, the Board has chosen Asha Hemrajani and Becky Burr as the Board liaisons to the CCWG-AP. Both are experienced, thoughtful, conscientious and committed
to working constructively with the CCWG-AP. We have set up an internal process to keep the Board informed and to channel any thoughts we have through Asha and Becky.<br>
<br>
Second, although I think it’s been mentioned more than once already, we mention again this process presents important legal and fiduciary constraints in relation to ICANN’s 501(c)3 status and the fiduciary responsibility of the ICANN Board of Directors and
Officers. It is important that all those participating in this effort are well-aware of these limitations and I encourage careful review of the Legal and Fiduciary note ( <a href="https://community.icann.org/display/CWGONGAP/Legal+and+Fiduciary+Constraints+Related+Materials)">https://community.icann.org/display/CWGONGAP/Legal+and+Fiduciary+Constraints+Related+Materials)</a>
that was submitted to the Drafting Team by the ICANN legal and finance teams as well as any ongoing notes/recommendations that ICANN staff may provide to the CCWG in the course of the CCWG’s work.<br>
<br>
Third, with respect to the cost of operation of the CCWG-AP, we emphasize the importance of the following items in supporting a successful, responsible, and productive process for all involved:</span><span lang="EN-IE"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span lang="EN-IE" style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><span lang="EN-IE"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1">
<span lang="EN-IE" style="font-size:11.0pt">The CCWG has to be run as a project with proper budget and schedule. This should be based on a plan for the working group.</span><span lang="EN-IE"><o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span lang="EN-IE" style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><span lang="EN-IE"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
