<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">We might need some kind of better public outreach when we have assembled three finalized proposals and we are seeking public comment. Until then, I do not understand
the need. Martin mentioned “registries who are not involved in the ICANN process.” It is a clearly defined part of this process that it is the task of the operational communities, in this case names, to involve all relevant groups in the development of the
proposal. It is not our job to do so. So perhaps ICANN PR can offer their services to the CWG.

is not even a secondary problem, or a tertiary one. Let’s be realistic. The problem has to do with achieving consensus among a complex set of interest groups around management of the names root. The idea that we are going to advance that process with slick
infographics about us strikes me as seriously misguided, almost narcissistic.</span></p></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I know and others as well clearly the challenges ahead of us as ICG, the current names debate and challenges is clear indication of task complexity in the final proposal assembly.<br></div>That's being said, its our role to ensure that our processes and procedures are transparent and clear to the wider internet community, this is the objective Not resolving ICG issues complexity by a slick infograph !! <br><br></div><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div link="#0563C1" vlink="#954F72" lang="EN-US"><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d"> <u></u><u></u></span></p>
