As noted on the call, Sub-Groups are expected to discuss how they wish to achieve the aims set out in the Work Plan, and formal meetings and recordings are generally not arranged. Of course, Sub-Groups may request ICANN staff assistance with setting up calls, as well as facilitating their research and information gathering, such as liaising with ICANN General Counsel and providing information as to whether there are resources available to support a particular form of research for which a fee is charged by the third party from whom information is being sought. We can also set up wiki pages for each Sub-Group to record and edit its work, if desired.</font></p>

<ul><li><span style="font-size: 14px;">As noted on the WG call, the scope of our WG is limited to the GAC list, as that was the scope of the recommendations ultimately adopted by our predecessor PDP WG.</span></li></ul><div style="color: rgb(0,0,0); font-size: 14px;"><b><i>(3) On how many NGOs are on the ECOSOC list:</i></b></div><ul><li>As of September 2013, 3900 NGOs have Consultative Status with ECOSOC, of which only <u>144</u> have attained General Consultative Status, with the others mostly given Special Consultative Status or Roster status (see attached list). Those organizations with General Consultative Status are considered to be those with the closest and most substantive contributions to and connections with the economic and social objectives of the UN and ECOSOC.</li><li>Our predecessor WG distinguished between the INGOs with General Consultative Status and those with Special Consultative Status, with differing protections recommended for each. They did not, however, include any direction to either the GNSO Council or our present WG as to whether the distinction should be maintained for curative rights protection.</li></ul><div style="color: rgb(0,0,0); font-size: 14px;">We hope the above is helpful.
