First I want to thank Milton for reporting out the issues that
the coordination group (CG) will be dealing with at the start, and
look forward
to ongoing reporting back the constituency.
With regard to GAC asking for greater representation, I
would suggest that GAC be reminded that this is a coordination
group charged
with coordinating submissions and proposals and its members have
two
responsibilities. One is to exercise that charge and the other is
to help the
committee keep all stakeholders involved. The GAC members on the
committee have
those same responsibilities and if, by chance, there are a wide
variety of
opinions across GAC members about how the proposal is developing,
individual GAC
members, like all other stakeholders, are free and welcomed to
make their
positions known directly to the coordination group through their
submissions.
This is how the process is facilitated and nobody should view it
as a
roadblock, they should view it as an opportunity.
The key task of the coordination committee is, of course,
to pull the submissions into proposal format, which may or may not
be a
proposal in which all issues are settled. It may be a proposal
with a set of
issues yet to be settled by ICANN’s multistakeholder process. That
would be a
reasonable outcome.
With respect to the transition
scope and
expectations about work in the communities, I will repeat that the
coordination
process should produce its best version of a transition proposal,
but it may
also produce a list of issues that require further deliberation to
be resolved.
It might produce a Green Paper that that details some of the
specific issues, points
out possible courses of action, and makes a suggested transition
proposal as a
starting point for round two of reasoned dialogue between
stakeholder
constituencies and others. Round
two produced the White Paper proposals.

The coordination group will meet in London next week for its first f2f meeting. We've also had an initial conference call.
I want to solicit your opinion on two immediate issues we will face.
