Hi,

We just had a very constructive webinar in which Avri presented the latest version of the NCSG response to the questions in the IANA survey, as well as the Integrated Model she has been working on along with Matthew Shears and Brenden Kuerbis. There are policy committee members who’ve already shown support for two versions of the responses to the IANA survey. I am considering this the final version. It has already received some endorsements. Unless there is significant opposition to this going out (both on this list and the policy committee list) as the NCSG response to the survey questions, I’m going to ask Avri to send it to the CWG-Stewardship.

I would like to point out that we have quite a few members who are putting in a lot of time and effort into representing the NCSG on the IANA Stewardship Transition CWG and ICANN Accountability CCWG. This is sincerely appreciated, and the NCSG Policy Committee should do everything it can to support you all.

Thanks.

Amr
