Thanks. That clarifies our approach.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:black">Since we are moving forward as a Committee of the Whole for the time being, it could be helpful to us as a group to do two things.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:black"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:black">First, it might be helpful for someone (e.g, the ICANN staff) to compile, summarize, and circulate the responses to t<font color="000000">he internal WG questionnaire. It would be interesting
to </font></span><font color="000000">know where all WG members--including those who may not be actively participating during our regular calls or
<font color="000000">on our </font>e-mail<font color="000000">s-</font>-</font><span style="color:black"><font color="000000">stand on each issue, and may enable us to identify areas of consensus or near consensus sooner, rather than later. It may also be easier
to evaluate, incorporate, and address the external SO/AC and SG/C input we will eventual<font color="000000">ly
</font>receive </font>if the WG questionnaire responses are already shared and discussed.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:black"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify"><span style="color:black">Second, to further focus our weekly discussions, what are your thoughts on tackling the issues category by category, in logical order? For example, the whole WG
would begin work on "Registration" issues next week. We would seek to crystallize consensus and other positions on the topics within that category over the following weeks, and then move on to the next category (i.e. “Maintenance”). Of course, input from
WG members on one issue might overlap with other issues, but keeping our focus on a particular category of issues at a time might enable us to progress more efficiently and productively through our work.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify"><span style="color:black">Val</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt; text-align:justify">-----------<br></p><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-family:arial; font-size:small"><b>Valeriya Sherman</b> <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51)">
