<P>The Cross Community Working Group (CWG) on Naming Related Functions held
two sessions at the ICANN 52 Meeting in Singapore (8-12 February 2015): a
two-hour <A

style="TEXT-DECORATION: none">working session</SPAN></A> on Wednesday, and a
<A
href="http://singapore52.icann.org/en/schedule/thu-cwg-stewardship">questions
and answers session</A> on Thursday. In addition to these sessions, there was
participation in sessions hosted by many other groups across the
ICANNcommunity, as well as many rewarding conversations and engagements
throughout the week on behalf of the co-Chairs, the members and their
chartering organizations, the individual participants of the CWG-Stewardship,
and the broader multistakeholder community.<A id=note1 name=note1></A><A

<P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 1px; MARGIN-TOP: 1px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 1px">The Wednesday
working session focused primarily on reviewing and refining the
CWG-Stewardship's working methods. These revisions dedicate the group to
working in a committee of the whole moving forward, meeting at minimum once
per week and, and building out the converging areas of the Proposal towards
developing a final Proposal. As needed, the CWG-Stewardship will funnel
specific subjects through expertise-based Task Forces. Task Forces will serve
the purpose of developing specific aspects of the Proposal as well as
demonstrating incremental progress. Drafts from Task Forces will be brought to
the group for review and decision making on inclusion within the draft
proposal.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 1px; MARGIN-TOP: 1px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 1px">The Thursday
questions and answers session was focused on receiving community feedback. In
preparation for the ICANN 52 Meeting, the CWG-Stewardship created a <A

style="TEXT-DECORATION: none">Discussion Document</SPAN></A> [PDF, 447 KB]
that attempted to capture and summarize the considerable progress made by this
group to date and to encourage community input on key and intractable issues
that were addressed in detail on Thursday.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 1px; MARGIN-TOP: 1px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 1px">The
CWG-Stewardship appreciates the high-quality comments and responses received,
and expects to devote time in its next meeting on 19 February 2015 to further
assess the feedback received. The group remains open to feedback on the
specific questions on the Discussion Document, and requests that feedback
before the 19 February meeting. Feedback can be provided through a
CWG-Stewardship member or participant, or to the support staff (<A
href="mailto:grace.abuhamad@icann.org"><SPAN
style="TEXT-DECORATION: none">grace.abuhamad@icann.org</SPAN></A>) for
transmission to the group.<o:p></o:p></P>

<P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 1px; MARGIN-TOP: 1px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 1px">The ICANN 52
meeting maintained much needed focus on the work related to the IANA
Stewardship Transition and Enhancing ICANNAccountability. Throughout the
meeting the co-Chairs, the members and their chartering organizations, the
individual participants of the CWG-Stewardship, and the broader community all
dedicated their time to constructive feedback and progress. With the sustained
support of the community, the CWG-Stewardship commits to continuing to work at
a high-intensity and pace. The group will remain regularly engaged with the
community and any interested observers in order to provide updates on its work
as well as related elements such as receipt of legal advice, as it did during

style="TEXT-DECORATION: none">Joint Statement</SPAN></A>on 28 January 2015,
the Chairs of both the CWG-Stewardship and the CCWG-Accountability committed
to attending and participating in each other's sessions at ICANN 52. The
CWG-Stewardship recognizes that, wherever possible and appropriate, the group
will take advantage of the efforts of the CCWG-Accountability to avoid
duplication or overlaps in the work to be done. With this robust coordination,
the co-Chairs are assured of the effective progress of the
CWG-Stewardship.<o:p></o:p></P>
