Hi Rafik,, It is good to know what happened already on this issue. Visibility is absolutely key and it looks that that has been a successful initiative. Tx you to all involved! Is there anything more we could/should do to follow-up on this issue and help further advance visibility and coordination? But I think my issue is different. It has to do with workflow. There is a lot of ICANN staff, they can support a huge amount of work, and ICANN is kicking off PDPs, public comments, implementation teams, review groups, study groups, engagement groups and more at a prodigious rate - ridiculous really. Even just on the policy side, it feels like we are in a car, someone has tied the accelerator down, and we are about to go off a cliff...
