Re: [gnso-sti] Up and running

["Mary Wong" <MWong@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all
 
Can we get an idea of who is signed up so far on this list, and (if applicable) 
which SG they are representing?
 
For starters, the NCSG has Kathy Kleiman, Konstantinos Komaitis and me, 
although it is possible that there may be different and/or additional 
volunteers as the process moves forward. 
 
Speaking personally, I like Avri's idea of WGs for each issue/question as a 
means of focusing the work. That may entail volunteers each working in more 
than one WG, and involving more volunteers from the GNSO community - but I'm 
fine with both.
 
A F2F on Saturday (or whenever) is also an excellent idea, and a good way to 
kick off the work to be done.
 
Cheers
Mary

Hi,

As I understand it, this list is up and running.

And as far as i can tell a few people have been signed up ad thee is a  
public archive.

I also understand that run is being provided for a meeting on the  
Saturday for this group to meet face to face.

So, the next step is to start figuring out what this group intends to  
recommend to the council as a way forward with the work.  I do have  
this on the agenda for the Wednesday public meeting, so it would be  
really good if the recommendation of the way forward could be made  
then.  The optimist in me even hopes there can be a resolution on that  
that can garner the consensus of the new council either on the  
Wednesday meeting on on Thursday at the latest - remembering that  
there will only be 6 weeks left at the end of Seoul.

My first suggestion is to create a community wide WG for each of the  
questions with a very specific set of questions to answer -  
tocoincidentally to track the public comments on their particular issue.

Thanks for volunteering to get this effort off the ground,

a.
