<p class="MsoNormal"><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Picking up on this thread, Lise and I discussed this when we talked this morning. There are some good points made in the thread and we’d like to recognise these.<p></p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><p> </p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>In particular, we agree that there’s an issue with the target audience and therefore the focus and effectiveness of the communication. Emerging from ICANN 52, we felt it was important to communicate immediately at the end of the meeting and to capture some of the key points at the time. We were targeting the message at both the CWG participants and the broader community. However, it seems that a combination of working at speed and with the two audiences in mind, we didn’t score right on target with either audience.<p></p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><p> </p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>From the broader community perspective, some of the feedback we received at ICANN 52 included questioning the overall effectiveness and productivity of the group. Therefore the motivation in summarising work to date was, at least in part, to underline and so emphasize the effort made by the CWG so far. However, we also recognise that there remains plenty of work to be done in moving towards a final proposal and being seen to be moving effectively towards that end. Hence the focus on working methods and process (CWG meeting on Wednesday in Singapore) AND on taking feedback on the substance (Q&A session on Thursday in Singapore).<p></p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><p> </p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>In any event, we are committed to working with the group including; confronting the difficult issues, looking for compromise where necessary and then producing a timely proposal. Of course, we need the group’s commitment to the same.<p></p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><p> </p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>From a practical perspective, we do need to process and integrate the input from the meeting, consolidate our working method and plans going forward and diarise key dates for the CWG. We will work with staff and the CWG to do all this as soon as possible. The points in the thread about highlighting areas of agreement as well as disagreement and the defining the next steps and timeline are consistent with this approach.<p></p></span></p>
