[CCWG-ACCT] Feedback from GAC session

[Kavouss Arasteh]

Dear Co chairs
Dear All,
I was not able to attend that meeting as I had another mission to
accomplish. However, I was present at the first part of GAC in which I
described a little bit about ICVG, CCWG.
After presentation by Jonathan and his co chair, Larry raised an important
question about various options and alternatives in each option and asked "
Did you study the implementation steps and time for each option "
This alert us ( CCWG) to also include in our studies for WP 1 and WP 2 the
element of implementation steps and the corresponding time.
May I therefore request the Co- Chairs as well as the chairs of the WPs to
kindly take this into account in our further development of the process.
During the discussion on the output of CWG, the interrelation between
activities of CCWG and CWG, in particular the overlapping issue was also
raised.
