Dear All,
Good start
Let us working on that as soon as possible
Please could someone create a naming and version and then moving ahead
Perhaps we could also discuss that at our third f2f meeting
I will comeback to you soon.
One important element to be added to Manal,s updated version is partial or
total overlap

>>
>> "Each  proposal  should  be  submitted  with  a  clear  record  of  how
>> consensus  has  been  reached  for  the  proposal  in  the  community,
>> and  provide  an analysis  that  shows  the  proposal  is  in  practice
>> workable. The  ICG  should  also  compile  the  input  it  has  received
>> beyond  the  operational  communities,  and  assess  the  impacts  of
>> this  input."
>>
>> No major change needed here, I would simply propose to modify step 1.d.
>> to reflect that part of the charter more closely, as follows:
>>
>> d. Verify the record of how consensus was reached, check if
>> input/comments the ICG received directly were shared with the operational
>> community and addressed by the process.
>>
>> 2. Step 3
>> I found it unclear whether we go through another public comment if the
>> proposals are modified. Probably we should. If we are forced to go through
>> the rather important step of returning a proposal to an OC and modifying
>> some part of it, we may want to give the public another crack at expressing
>> their support for the new totality. NTIA may want us to do that also. On
>> the other hand we want to avoid creating opportunities for political
>> mobilizations that seek to levels of support rather than confirming or
>> denying them. I would listen to differing views on this.
