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

Hi,

same questions here, I don't see clearly the benefit of having of CCWP
instead of CCWG. both needs some charter and goals setting.

I had discussion with my co-chairs and I think that we can take the
opportunity of having new CEO and see after he starts his term what he can
expect from us. the CCWG-IG was formed as response to Fadi idea and
supposed to give guidance. I raised the point that the group never
interacted with the board or reported its activities, it is something we
have to fix (among other tasks of co-chairs). having this in mind, we are
working on getting things in place and taking some corrective actions to
move from doing only public session planning.

we submitted workshop proposals before to IGF and WSIS, but we didn't
replicate the success of drafting a statement as we did for netmundial. the
relations with ICANN staff is getting improved and someone like Nigel is
quite cooperative. there are some positive things, but a lot of room of
improvement. I acknowledge that co-chairs are not doing enough and bear the
responsibility.

Best,

Rafik
