<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Item 3 on the agenda will take the majority of our time on this call. Staff has been working with a small group of volunteers from the CCWG to identify outstanding questions that have been identified and determine
how these questions may be answered – through additional discussion in the CCWG, through input from ICANN org, through additional external input, etc. Following this first step taken with the small group, staff has made an initial attempt at converting this
set of questions into a narrative document, tailoring a list of questions to each recipient’s scope and area of expertise:
<a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LYlv616IkOjK0lxCQpQ1x7XbUQoi3tch2sZ0E9GI3sA/edit">
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LYlv616IkOjK0lxCQpQ1x7XbUQoi3tch2sZ0E9GI3sA/edit</a>. On Thursday, we will discuss questions that the CCWG may already be in a position to answer and those that might require input from ICANN org or an external expert.
<b>You are encouraged to review the document and add any comments prior to the call</b>. A Word version is also attached for those who do not use Google Docs.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Staff will later share additional questions that the CCWG may consider once additional feedback has been received from ICANN org and external experts. This list is still in development.
