<div>Hello Donna and everyone,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I hope it’s all right for staff to make a suggestion, in which case I’d like to make one on behalf of the Cross Community Working Group whose draft Framework of Principles for Future CWGs is now out for public comment. There seems to be a high level of
interest in the development of a uniform approach to the formation and operation of future CWGs, including from the ICANN Board (who I understand may be submitting a public comment to the group). The group is also targeting Helsinki as the timeframe for completion
of its Final Report and Framework, which hopefully will also mean that subsequent timely adoption of the final Framework will allow it to be used for the next CWG to be formed.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We realize that the topic is not, strictly speaking, substantive policy, but given the timing, interest and now the opportunity to convene a cross-community dialogue on what the final principles ought to be, we thought the GNSO Council might like to consider
this as a topic to suggest.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks and cheers</div>
