[CWG-Stewardship] FW: CWG/CRISP/IANAPLAN Coordination

[Jonathan Robinson]

Milton,

Noted and I'll talk with Lise and interact  further with the CWG on this.

Lise & I did talk informally with the chairs of IANAPLAN, CRISP & the ICG
late yesterday my time in order to look at how we might most effectively
organise any work around this issue.

I'll aim (in consultation with Lise) to put an update to the CWG within the
next 24 hours.

Jonathan

Sorry, Jonathan, I am not very comfortable with this part of your proposal.
There is always a risk that these small, selected groups can usurp the WG
decision making process and create mistrust about the process being gamed. I
think the open CWG list is not that far from reaching an acceptable method
of moving forward on this and don't see which this discussion can't take
place in the open.

This issue is important enough to many people that some will be unable to
comment positively on the ICG proposal unless it is resolved properly.
