<p>Dear Joke, CWG colleagues,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>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. <span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">With
this in mind, I propose that we add</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> 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.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">
<br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">
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. </div>
<br>
<p></p>
<p>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). </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I look forward to our meeting next week and the opportunity to discuss this progress report in more detail.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Best wishes,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Heather</p>

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.</p>
