<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span lang="EN-GB">As I see it, as we move from the intensive sessions and towards a draft proposal for public comment, we need the following:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

on our model. This work depends on the final outcomes of the design teams and we are working on finalising that ASAP.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

</span></span></span><![endif]><span lang="EN-GB">We have developed a more detailed description to flesh out the list of the areas of work from the CCWG on which we are depending to support our transition proposal.
<br>
Here, we are reliant on the work of the CCWG for key areas of (broader) ICANN accountability to support the adequate development our own (IANA related) accountability needs.<br>
In order to satisfactorily rely on this (broader) ICANN accountability work we need to have a form of words in our CWG proposal that makes it clear our proposal is conditional on such measures being designed and either implemented or committed to in a way
we can depend on in advance of the stewardship transition. In so doing, we seek to bind our proposal to the output of the CCWG and we need your assistance to institutionalise that commitment.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span lang="EN-GB">These have not been pre-vetted by the client committee so may need further refinement or indeed have additions made before you commence work in earnest.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span lang="EN-GB">Also, you may feel these need further explanation or discussion and we can certainly use the scheduled Client Committee meeting on Thursday 16<sup>th</sup> April to do so.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
