<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">How to move forward with the work of this group is up for discussion today. When we try to reach consensus, we saw various opinions between the members of the WG, and non-members.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">In HYD it was decided to launch a poll on the recommendations. Poll results to be discussed today. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Less than half of the members of this WG answered the poll. No clear way forward from the poll results. All suggestions on how to move forward are welcome.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Rosalía:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Looking at the survey results, it is clear there is no consensus. Lots of discussions ahead of us. We have not decided as a group on any of the recommendations. Suggestion: continue this discussion, but not only within the GNSO.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Bart:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">if you go back to the language of recommendation 2, you will notice that people move away from this recommendation as well. If you continue along this path, you will see changing majorities.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Suggestion is to strike words, like "unanimously”. Staff includes the poll results, and comes back with a suggestion on how to phrase it. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">75% of the poll respondents (large majority) feels that recommendation 1, 2 and 4 are appropriate. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">It shows understanding from that group that we move forward along that path. We should make it clearer to the community that this part of the CCWG is more or less a dead-end street. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We as a broader community, should think about a broader way of dealing with this. Consult larger community, and hand it back to the Chartering Organisations, stating that this is not a way forward. We need to come up with an alternative.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">linked to item number 2 on this agenda. We need to go forward with the Interim Report, after Bart's comment. Include the responses received. include the quorum as well. how many members does this group have, and how many members responded?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Heather:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Regret that we are where we are, after the meeting from HYD. The survey results do not reflect the room temperature in HYD.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Let's not make a point about the number of people responding. Only a fracture of the WG members participates regularly in our meetings anyhow.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Understanding of context of the outcome is important too, should be included in the report. Bart his suggestion as to tinkering with the wording is a good one. Come together in small teams, and work on statements explaining the background, to be appended to the report.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Annebeth:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Interim Report to be updated. The feeling in the room from HYD did not come across in the survey results. Community feedback would therefor be very useful. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Bart:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">invite people who have issues to included statements: ok. first finish the report, and then ask WG members if they could make a minority statement, to be included in annex and to be referred to in the introduction. Ideally interim report to be published mid January.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Heather:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">agree with Bart. do the minority statements need to be included in the public comment? or make final remarks after the public comment? perhaps we all benefit from input from the rest of the world. It is a matter of timing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Bart:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">it is only fair, given the discussions around recommendation 3, that the broader community understands the contextual statements. We should ask specifically their views on the way forward. They should have the full picture upfront, so they can respond and see things from different angles.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Susan Payne, Rosalia Morales, Laura Watkins: agree.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Bart:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">we will get back asap with an updated version, and invite people to submit a contextual statement around the recommendations, if they want to. This needs to be described in the process, and included in the annex. People on the call hopefully agree that we should aim to have the interim report out by mid january. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
