[Ctn-crosscom] post-Helsinki strawman paper: next call scheduled for Monday 29 August, 21 UTC

[Annebeth Lange]

Dear Joke, dear Heather, CWG colleagues,

I join Heather in thanking Joke for her excellent work in producing this draft for a progress report. I have gone through it with special attention to your comments and input, Heather, and enclose a version with my questions and comments.

I encourage my fellow colleagues to read the document and give input. We have to decide how to go forward with this, and it would be great to have opinions and suggestions from WG members.

Kind regards,
Annebeth

Dear Joke, CWG colleagues,


Tremendous thanks to Joke for her work on producing the first draft of our status report and recommendations, particularly while Steve Chan recovered on medical leave and Emily Barabas transitioned in temporarily as GNSO support staff.


In my view this paper is a good start, and there is a bit more we can do. It is important that we keep this document relatively short, clear and to the point - otherwise we risk losing the community's attention. With this in mind, I propose that we add footnotes and names of earlier documents, groups, etc. to ensure the community has the complete picture of the work in this area (as indeed this is one of our key justifications for terminating our efforts - the multiplicity of policy initiatives on geo names) while streamlining this progress report by pushing the reader to those other documents for more detail/substance.

I also suggest that we amend references to ISO 3166 from "list" to "standard", as that is a lesson we've very helpfully learned from Jaap.


Finally, I believe we should be more clear and direct on our recommendations at the end, as ultimately we're in the best position to advise as to what should happen next and, crucially, what is needed for that to succeed (ie, we know best what our deficiencies were as a CWG, and have a view as to how to fix them).


I look forward to our meeting next week and the opportunity to discuss this progress report in more detail.


Best wishes,


Heather

Dear All,



Following the events at ICANN56 in Helsinki, staff drafted a strawman paper, as requested by the CWG-UCTN co-chairs. The attached paper

lays out the Group’s discussion to-date, and provides the working group’s conclusions and recommendations in relation to the Group’s main objective.



This document aims at generating a discussion among the group, regarding the next steps, taking into account that the main objective of the WG is to provide advice regarding the feasibility of developing a consistent and uniform definitional framework that is applicable across the respective SO's and AC's defining rules guiding the use of country and territory names as top-level domains that, ideally, can be applied objectively to alpha-2 and alpha-3 ISO 3166-1 codes as well as full country and territory names.



Next meetings:



1.       Monday 22 August, 21 UTC.CANCELLED.

The co-chairs preferred to allow WG members sufficient time to review the post-Helsinki strawman paper, and to comment on it

2.       Monday 29 August, 21 UTC. A calendar invite will follow. On the agenda: discussion of the post-Helsinki strawman paper

3.       Monday 19 September, 21 UTC. A calendar invite will follow
