Seems like a plan to me.

 Would be good to hear from others in regards to the vice-chair(s) idea.

In GNSO WGs everyone is required to submit an SOI and I think those are already available for most participants from the GNSO. SOIs are not equivalent to bio’s but they at least identify potential conflicts of interest, which is important to be transparent about.  If the group wants bios, I will provide one.

Forgot about the SOI’s. Definitely that is a good first place to get to learn about who is on this CWG. I would suggest that everyone review the SOI’s of members of this group. If any additional information is needed, do ask..

Suffice it to say - good to have Verisign participating in this group. Would be keen to get your recommendations on reference documents (ie. IANA contract) that you would recommend those less familiar with IANA get acquainted with ahead of our meeting next week.  

As for my participation - Jaap Akkerhuis and I are representing the SSAC on this CWG. As for recommended texts, let me suggest the following:

- Resources from this CWG’s wiki page

Agree! 

Would add that we have a very short timeline and it is even more important to get a clear indication from those on this group if they are available over the next 3 months.

> But as happens in every WG I have ever been involved in, some will commit more time than others.  I think the key is to have all major stakeholder groups represented regularly even if it is not always the same person and that the representatives serve as liaisons with the groups they represent so that there is good buy-in all the way along.

well said.

regards

Robert

To get things started, might I suggest we go through the round of introductions, agree review required reference texts, discuss possible leadership positions (chair, vice-chair?) that we might want to establish, and agree to the agenda before we meet next week.
