[PC-NCSG] Principles for CCWGs => CCW-IG

[Marilia Maciel]

The charter is here:
https://community.icann.org/display/CPMMB/CCWG+on+IG+Charter?preview=/52888213/53281052/Charter%20ccWG%20IG%202014%20v05.pdf

The CCWG is not explicitly linked to NetMundial, it should facilitate the
information about and involvement in any IG process. However, what happened
in practice is that after NM the CCWG lost momentum and although there is a
faithful crowd that attends the public sessions, it is not so many people.
It is serving as a discussion forum to those that participate in ICANN but
look further to other IG spaces.

On the practical aspect of Bill's message, I do not see clearly why a CCWG
nature is being an obstacle. Looking back, I do agree it should have ben
created as a CCWP, but now that it is a CCWG should take active steps to
change this? In what that would benefit the CCWG? Maybe Bill has more
insights, I have followed it less closely.

Best wishes,
Mar?lia
