<p>Perhaps my question should have been phrased more broadly: how will external participants in the community, especially those not in an SO/AC structure, participate in the work of this group?<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">I think this is also a question that is valid for other 2 communities (especially the numbers) and one of the proposed ways is to first develop the draft and then put it up for global comments. Which is what
 i believe this community should also do. As i had suggested during our first face2face; it will be good to have a phased public comment period, one that presents the first draft (to receive comments from the community and beyond) and the one that represents
 the updated version (this can have a shorter comment period). Overall we should provide the medium to receive inputs from other non-ICANN based communities and it will be up to them to determine if they want to participate of not.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">However in all these, there is need to appreciate time constraint but at the same time, not loose the focus of having a proposal that achieves consensus of the broader community.<o:p></o:p></p>
