Subject: potential areas of overlap

Dear Lise and Jonathan,
first of all, let us thank you for taking the time earlier today to hold another co-ordination call between the co-chairs of the CWG and CCWG. As an efficient liaison of our groups is key to our groups work’s success, we really do appreciate your commitment to having regular - usually weekly - calls.

It was with great interest that we read the document you provided titled „Potential areas for Overlap between the CWG & the CCWG“. We have shared this with our group and discussed your paper with the group during our last telephone conference. Rest assured that your input will be reviewed and responded to as a priority issue. We are also working on both identifying accountability issues and categorizing as to whether they belong to work stream 1, work stream 2 or both. Further, we do categorize items that need to be completed prior to the transition versus those that need to be committed to.

However, we are cognizant that any preliminary assessment that we might come up with is subject to change because of

- changes made to the proposal you published on Dec.1st, 2014
- changes made to your document on areas of overlap
- new proposals and
- changes due to other external and internal factors, such as evolving deliberations of our group.

We are aiming at providing you with a preliminary response in the second half of January, but will update you on progress and interim results in the meantime. Our work is now split into 4 sub groups working in parallel with lively discussions on the mailing lists and weekly two hour calls, which we are continuing to have during the holiday season to advance the project as expediently as possible.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Kind regards,
Mathieu Weill and Thomas Rickert
CCWG Co-Chairs
