[soac-newgtldapsup-wg] Upcoming plans

[Avri Doria <avri@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

First let me apologize again for my absence this week and next.  IGF comes but 
once a year and as a member of the secretariat it is rather all consuming.  I 
thank you all, especially my co-chair for carrying on in my absence.  I am 
especially sorry that it occurred at the same time as Karla's vacation and that 
we did not have anyone who was able to cover her - making Evan's burden all the 
larger.

At the end of todays meeting I spoke of my plans for this weekend and made a 
recommendation for how to proceed in the immediate future.

I will first listen to the recordings of the 2 calls and then will make a pass 
through the document trying to record both the consensus that has been reached 
in many places and the varying positions in the places where we have not 
reached consensus.  I will, as much as possible, use the language that is 
already in the document and that people have offered.  I ask anyone who has 
promised to submit language to do so as quickly as possible so that it can be 
included.  I will do my best to understand where we are at and set it down as 
neutrally as I can.

I will of course put any new language in a marked up form so people can easily 
find it.

The plan is then to also write a cover note that explains that this is snapshot 
2 and to cover the degree of consensus that we have.  

Once the WG has had a chance to review it, (thought the chance will be brief) 
Evan and I can then send it on to the board and our 2 Chartering organizations. 
 

And then we can keep working toward our final product - both on the final 
document and the comment response.
