    The community has developed its own consultation process, perhaps
    more than one according to Milton's post.&nbsp; While the time frame you
    reference seems reasonable, and is established in ICANN, it is for
    the community to determine what it needs.&nbsp; Alissa's e-mail as

    While I don't think its needed, but in the name of compromise, if we

                                <div>I’ve taken a crack at revised text

                                <div>I will note that the message never

                                  accountability” and so there is no
                                  need to either remove it or define it.
                                  I think we should keep this note at a
                                  high level — we want to know what the
                                  CWG’s expected time line is so that we
                                  can plan our own work and coordinate
                                  it with the rest of the transition
                                  planning work accordingly. I also do
                                  not think it is appropriate for us to
                                  dictate to the group whether or how
                                  they solicit public comments, the
                                  length of public comment periods, or
                                  any other further requirements around
                                  coordination or accountability that
                                  were not included in the RFP. The RFP
                                  explains what our expectations are
                                  already and it’s up to the CWG to
                                  decide how to meet them.</div>

                                  <div>The ICG has been following the

                                    the ICG would appreciate receiving
                                    the CWG's estimated revised
                                    completion date. Please communicate
                                    this to the ICG as soon as possible
                                    but not later than 31 January 2015.
                                    It would also be helpful for you to

                                    major challenges to be to complete

                                                          suggested on
                                                          the call today
                                                          that we send a
                                                          note to the
                                                          CWG to obtain
                                                          more
                                                          information
                                                          about their
                                                          expected
                                                          timeline if it
                                                          does indeed
                                                          slip. I’m
                                                          happy to send
                                                          such a note if
                                                          people agree.
                                                          I’ve drafted
                                                          something up

                                                          <div>What do
                                                          others think?
                                                          Should we send
                                                          a note? What

                                                          <div>Dear CWG,</div>
                                                          <div>&nbsp;</div>
                                                          <div>The ICG
                                                          has been
                                                          following the
                                                          developments
                                                          in all of the
                                                          operational
                                                          communities,
                                                          including the
                                                          naming
                                                          community. We
                                                          have noted
                                                          some
                                                          discussions
                                                          about the
                                                          possibility
                                                          that the CWG
                                                          might require
                                                          additional
                                                          time to
                                                          complete its
                                                          response to
                                                          the ICG RFP
                                                          beyond its

                                                          January 30,
                                                          2015. We would
                                                          ask that if
                                                          you decide to
                                                          revise your
                                                          estimated
                                                          completion
                                                          date that you
