[gnso-policyimpl-wg] Agenda and revised document for the next WG call on Wednesday 26 November
Dear WG members, Please find below the proposed agenda for the next WG call, along with a few notes from ICANN staff that we are including in the hope that it will facilitate WG discussion and finalization of the outstanding points regarding charter questions 3, 4 and 5. As noted on the last two WG calls, any further comments on or concerns about the general Draft IRT Principles (Sections I-IV) were to have been sent to the mailing list. As such, for ease of review and reference, we have separated out the new Section V the Draft IRT Operating Principles that the WG began to discuss last week. The first attached document therefore includes only these draft operating principles. The second attached document is the initial set of Working Principles that the WG agreed on during our early phase of deliberations it is being recirculated in the hope that it will facilitate your review and discussion of some of the agenda points for the meeting. Proposed Agenda Policy & Implementation Working Group Meeting 26 November 2014 20.00 UTC 1. Roll Call / SOI 2. Finalize draft IRT Operating Principles (attached; revised based on discussions and suggestions from last week) 3.
