[Gnso-newgtld-wg] - Welcome to the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP WG

Glad to work with Avri as a co-chair.  Her experience and lessons learned from the last round is extremely valuable.



I also think with the amount of work that there will be for our group, there will likely be work stream leaders for each of the at least 5 work streams identified in the charter.  So, there is plenty of opportunity for a number of other people to actively participate as well in leadership roles.  I participated mostly as an observer in the CCWG-ACCT group and think there are a lot of good practices from that group that can and should be carried forward, including the spreading out of work to a variety of different people on this diverse set of issues.



I look forward to speaking with everyone in a few hours.

Guess the idea of co-chairs normally works well. I do support Avri name too.
 Till this evening when we will talk.
