Dear Team,

Phil should concentrate on ToR that was assigned to him. In most cases he
will need to understand the ground work done by the RT before pause.

I have no idea on what went wrong until the board paused this work. I only
know that SSAC advised the board that we are not making progress and ICANN
resource are being wasted.

Similarly, what I also remember is that we have members in RT who are
playing an oversight role and report to the board if we are not going to
the direction that RT suppose to go and not giving their guidance on how
better to correct what is not going to the correct direction. May be partly
is due to lack of consensus approach among the team. Phil was tasked to
address this too.

As we are restarting it is better to make sure we respective idea and
contribution from each one of us known that we have different level of
understanding on various matters but that should not be a weapon to weaken
those looking to catch and contribute better.

Speaking from academic point view. We loosed on the methodology for this
task and looking that Phil will help the team to adopt a methodology which
will later help the team to come up with SMART recommendation.

Regards,
Matogoro
