[Internal-cg] Fwd: [CWG-Stewardship] CWG-Stewardship Publishes Discussion Document for ICANN 52

[Lynn St.Amour]

Dear colleagues,

This is a very clear and useful document, and clearly captures all the great work of the CWG and the community.  Very impressive and great progress.

In reading this CWG Discussion document, it strikes me that it would be helpful to be more explicit when using the term "IANA functions" - here and likely elsewhere.  There are many people following this process that are not so versed in the specifics and may assume this is talking about all the IANA functions.  This confusion may or may not exist in the ICANN community (though I believe it does), and it definitely exists elsewhere.

If qualifying the term "IANA functions" is not supported, could we ask the CWG to add a few introductory paragraphs outlining the multiple Operating Communities and the basic premise behind this transition process?

Interested to see if others see the same potential for confusion, or if it just me.

Best,
Lynn
