[Cwg-framework-principles] Welcome and first meeting

[Mary Wong]

Dear all,

Welcome to the new Cross Community Working Group for developing a final
Framework of Operating Principles that will guide the formation/chartering,
operations, decision making and termination of future cross community
working groups. The interim co-chairs ­ Ms Becky Burr (ccNSO) and Mr John
Berard (GNSO) - would like to convene a first meeting of the group on
Thursday 22 May at 1500 UTC. A separate notification with all the relevant
call in details will be sent, but for now we wanted to get this on your
agendas without further delay.

In preparation for the meeting, please find attached a staff paper that had
been prepared for the GNSO Council in November 2013, on the background work
that has already been done to date on the topic. The most relevant
information for our present purposes can be found in Section III, which
summarizes the initial draft principles originally developed by the GNSO in
2012 and the feedback provided on them by the ccNSO in 2013. The full text
of both the draft principles and the ccNSO feedback can be found in the
Annexes. 

Also attached is a copy of the Charter for this CWG. Even if you are very
familiar with GNSO Working Groups and their processes, you are encouraged to
review this Charter prior to the call as due to the nature of this CWG the
membership and processes detailed in the Charter are not the standard GNSO
Working Group ones.

Bart Boswinkel and I will be the primary policy staff supporting you in this
CWG. We hope to circulate an updated staff paper with additional details on
the workings and outcomes of previous and current CWGs soon. A webpage
containing basic background information can be found at
http://gnso.icann.org/en/group-activities/active/cross-community and a wiki
page has been set up at https://community.icann.org/x/rQbPAQ.

Thanks and cheers
Mary
