Hi,

During the public GNSO council meeting in Los Angeles, the council adopted
the charter of the Cross-Community Working Group of Internet Governance
(CCWG-IG), as well as the manner in which the GNSO would be represented by
members of this CCWG. The resolution can be found here:
http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#201410

It was also agreed that each GNSO group should identify its representative
by October 22nd, which is only in a few days. I thought I'd get the
nomination process started by nominating Bill Drake to represent the NCSG
as a member of this group. Bill's already been active on this group, and
certainly meets the desirable criteria of membership.

For easier reference, here is the exact language of the resolution:

*20141015-2*

*Adoption of a Charter for a Cross Community Working Group to discuss
Internet governance (CWG-IG) issues affecting ICANN and make
recommendations to the chartering organization on these issues*
Whereas,

   1. This group was initiated in December 2013 in response to a call
   from ICANN CEO and has been working informally since then;
   2. The group has developed the charter found at
   http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/ccwg-ig-charter-20may14-en.pdf
   3. This charter has already been approved by ALAC, ccNSO and SSAC.

Resolved:

   1. The GNSO Council approves the Charter
   http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/ccwg-ig-charter-20may14-en.pdf
   2. The RrSG, the RySG, NCSG, BC, IPC, and ISPC will each identify one
   member to serve on the CWG-IG by 22-October-2014 taking into account the
   charter requirement that best efforts should be made to ensure that members:
      - Have sufficient expertise to participate in the applicable
      subject matter;
      - Commit to actively participate in the activities of the CWG-IG on
      an ongoing and long-term basis; and
      - Where appropriate, solicit and communicate the views and concerns
      of individuals in the organization that appoints them.
   3. The GNSO will collaborate with the other SOs and ACs to issue a
   call for observers to join the CWG-IG, each in accordance with its own
   rules.
   4. As the charter calls for each of the chartering organizations to
   appoint a co-chair for the group, the GNSO Council appoints Rafik Dammak to
   serve as a member of the CWG-IG, to serve as the GNSO co-chair of the
   CWG-IG and to serve as GNSO Council liaison to the group.



Thanks.

Amr
