All,
I hate to be the pedantic one here but as I understand this ccWP, it is
a bottom up initiative among ICANN participants. It has no ICANN
chartering process, etc. and hence carries the ad hoc Working Party (WP)
label. It is not a formal ICANN Working Group (WG).
I hope I am correct in asking that all communications use proper
identifiers, and call it a Working Party, and not a group, or there may
be unnecessary and troublesome confusion both inside ICANN and outside
ICANN.
