Dear All,

Following consultations with Staff, I have decided to postpone the 
teleconference planned for tomorrow by about 2 weeks.  This is because there 
has been little, if any, follow-up on the action items that we committed to in 
Seoul.  To remind you, the following is an extract from Rob's summary:


1.       Staff committed to revise the draft Survey Document/Questions 
consistent with WG member input. (see new version RHv4HU attached to this 
message and posted on the WG wiki page - 
https://st.icann.org/geo-review-wg/index.cgi?working_documents).

2.  Working Group members agreed to add additional comments/edits to the 
revised Survey Document/Questions as desired (Please complete and send comments 
back to RobH via email (cc'ing entire WG list) by 13 November)

3.  Staff committed to discuss appropriate (and creative) survey methodology 
and delivery with Big Pulse. (Big Pulse contacted electronically and 
telephonically this week with follow-up next week).

4.  WG Members agreed to review and add specific personal comments to each row 
of the draft Interim Report Annex B - Matters To Be Taken Into Consideration.  
WG Member contributions will be used to help further structure the draft 
Interim Report and to flesh out areas of commonality as well as diverging 
points of view among WG members - not by their individual communities (that 
comes later). That Annex B document has been uploaded to the WG wiki page - 
https://st.icann.org/geo-review-wg/index.cgi?working_documents and has been 
laid-out at the bottom of the working documents page to facilitate edits and 
comments directly on the wiki by WG members. I have also attached a copy of 
that Annex B to this message. (Consistent with discussions in Seoul, edits and 
or comments should be posted directly on the wiki page as "edits" or emailed to 
RobH (cc'ing the WG list) within two weeks - 20 November.)

4.  Chair agreed to prepare note to ICANN SO/AC leaders giving them an update 
on the planned survey and encouraging community participation. (Target 20 
November)

5.  Staff agreed to circulate a copy of the "mind map" figure used during the 
29 October meeting. (Bart has already circulated that document to the list)

6.  Staff committed to set up Doodle scheduling poll to determine date and time 
of next WG meeting/call.  (Target meeting week of 6 December).

Looking forward to your comments on the various documents.  Please alert me as 
soon as possible if you experience any difficulties with the wiki page 
edit/comment function.  WG members in Seoul agreed to try the direct wiki 
editing method, but if anyone experiences difficulty I am happy to try to add 
edits to the wiki that you provide to me via email.  The goal is to improve the 
editing process - not to create new challenges for any WG members.

Staff have done their bits, but only Olga has left any comments on the Wiki.  I 
appreciate everyone is busy, but PLEASE try to make your comments on the Survey 
and Draft Report within the next 7 to 10 days.  Gisella will shortly set up a 
Doodle to that we can fix a new date for a teleconference to discuss your 
feedback.

Kind regards,

Dave
