[Ws2-jurisdiction] Fwd: [CCWG-ACCT] Caption Notes-Recordings-Transcript links for Jurisdiction Meeting #35 - 14 June 2017

[Greg Shatan]

Seun,

Thank you for asking.  Let me clarify for you and others where we are
procedurally. Yes, issues relating to clarity on scope are ultimately to be
determined by the CCWG plenary. As you note, Thomas was speaking for the
co-Chairs, and as the co-chairs stated, after almost a year of
deliberations in this group, they could not see the possibility of
consensus on recommendations which included these elements.   The decision
presented by Thomas was a decision by the co-Chairs. It was good that bulk
of the Subgroup supported the decision on the call, but it should not be
viewed as a Subgroup action per se.  As of the end of the call, the
discussion and decision now goes to the Plenary. Unless the decision
changes there, that ends the discussion within the CCWG.

Greg
