Hi,

1+ for Farzaneh. 

I will not come to Hyderabad. For the CCWG-IG session on UN bodies I would recommend to have a look also into the G 20. The Hangzhou document (September 2016) is not bad (http://www.g20.utoronto.ca/2016/160905-digital.html). On December 1, 2016, Germany will take over the G 20 presidency. They plan to have a special IT ministerial meeting early April 2017 in Düsseldorf with a multistakeholder pre-conference. 

The G 20 summit is in Hamburg, May 2017.

Wolfgang

Betreff: [NCSG-Discuss] Fwd: Update on CCWG-IG
 
Hello everybody

Here is an update on the ccwg-IG group in which I represent NCSG.

*A statement:* CCWG-IG recently drafted a statement which related to
proposals currently being discussed at the World Telecommunications
Standardization (WTSA 16).

CCWG-IG wrote the statement in response to a proposal by the African
Telecommunication Union regarding the use of geographic names in generic to
level domains. The objective of the statement was to remind WTSA
participants that matters regarding geographic domain names is within ICANN
mission and it is to be resolved in a bottom-up manner. The statement was
sent to chartering organizations.
I also took part in drafting the statement and made some comments. It is
attached.

*F2F meeting in Hyderabad : *CCWG-IG will have an F2F meeting in Hyderabad.
It will meet with the Board IG WG. It will also discuss CCWG-IG activities
and perhaps invites GNSO Council chair to discuss some matters.

*High-interest session of CCWG-IG: *The high-interest session will have two
segments, one segment focuses on Internet fragmentation, the other focuses
on various Internet governance related groups at the United Nations.


*The ccwg-IG and GNSO Council: * As it has been brought up on the NCSG
list, GNSO Council has a motion to withdraw from CCWG-IG. This is in light
of the current uniform framework for CCWG life cycles which GNSO Council
has approved. https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/
ccwg-framework-principles-draft-19feb16-en.pdf

If you look at the principles, the CCWG-IG charter does not fit the
recommendations and principles, one reason is that  its mandate is based on
a continuous mission not a one off mission.What we need to do is to perhaps
change the CCWG-IG charter and implement it better, and make the group
focus on certain issues throughout the year as well as having F2F meetings
and high interest panels.


I hope this is helpful. Please look at ICANN schedule o find out the timing
of the CCWG-IG sessions.

Best
