Dear Colleagues,

As announced in our call, a Board briefing is organized today regarding 
their comment to our Draft report, and none of the co chairs was able to 
attend.

We have shared the following written input with the  group of SO-AC-SG-RALO 
and thought it might be useful to the group as well.

Best
Thomas, Leon & Mathieu

All,

As none of the CCWG co chairs can attend this briefing, the following is a 
quick update from us.

There have been questions with respect to the next steps for the work of the 
CCWG. The questions were asked particularly in the light of the comments on 
our third report by the ICANN Board.

Firstly, we would like to express our appreciation for the Board's 
thoughtful contributions and the efforts that were put into a comprehensive 
comment on numerous aspects of our report. As mentioned during the CCWG call 
earlier this week, the Board comments will be analyzed as other comments 
from Chartering Organizations and the community.

Thus, the CCWG has not changed its approach to the next steps that need to 
be taken. Our report remains to be the basis for comments.

As we previously announced, the CCWG is now awaiting feedback from the 
Chartering Organizations to then assess whether a supplemental draft will be 
required. Additionally, the CCWG will assess whether comments require the 
group to make changes to its recommendations and proactively reach out to 
the Chartering Organizations. We are reiterating this point to confirm to 
the Chartering Organizations that their potential statements of support will 
not extend to potential future changes that substantially change the 
recommendations.

While we have asked the Chartering Oranizations to respond by December 21st, 
we know that some organizations need a few more days to provide feedback. 
Thus, we expect an assessment of all input to be conducted early January. It 
will be at that point in time when a decision on the requirement of a 
supplemental draft will be made.

Finally, we would like to remind everyone that comments were requested 
particularly with respect to support or rejection of the CCWG 
recommendations. Issues or recommendations that relate to the implementation 
of these, shall be discussed an taken into consideration at a later stage. 
It is our impression that the issues raised by should be dealt with and at 
that stage.

Best regards and have a fruitful call,
Thomas, Leon & Mathieu
CCWG co-chairs
