Subject: [gnso-igo-wt] IGO WT - Preparation for our first call on 22 Feb at 1600 UTC

Greetings,

Thank you all for your patience. We now have our first call scheduled for 22 February and, as promised, I attach a briefing paper with thanks to Mary Wong and Steve Chan for all the work to put it together. I hope you find it useful and please send any questions or clarification requests to this list.

You will see from the briefing paper that the scope and boundaries of the work of this group is very limited and I would like to specifically draw your attention to the paragraph at the top of page 3 which states:

"As such, the Work Track may wish to consider an early discussion as to the likelihood of it reaching consensus on an appropriate policy solution within the above framework that is also likely to be acceptable to the GNSO Council and the GAC, such as to be a solution that can be adopted by the Board as being in the best interests of ICANN or the ICANN community (as required under the Bylaws)."

It would help in our work if each of us could consider possible policy solutions that we think fit within the scope and boundaries provided by the GNSO and bring those ideas to our first meeting. We can then list of those possible solutions, add others that may arise in the group discussions and then test them for group consensus and consider the likelihood of wider acceptance. At this early brainstorm stage, there are no bad ideas, only useful contributions to get our work started.

I am very much looking forward to working with you all and will see you on zoom on the 22nd.



Cheers,

Chris Disspain
