Re: [council] CCWG Ig and NetMundial statements

["Mike O'Connor" <mike@xxxxxxxxxx>]

hi Avri,

i’m just tuning back into this project.  the draft i’m looking at is at

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BOpCmeE4YL3cat_6oN5RaNvDgvEYO-HS82gRzc_aRjo/mobilebasic?pli=1

is that the best snapshot of the current state of affairs?  if so, it does have 
what looks like a pretty carefully-worded introduction that talks about the 
current status of ratification, and how the CCWG will notify NetMundial if such 
ratification takes place.  here’s the language as it stands while i type this 
note:

"This contribution has been drafted using multi-stakeholder principles by the 
ICANN Cross Community Working Group (CCWG) on Internet Governance, a group that 
comprises members of ICANN’s Supporting Organisations (SO), Advisory Committees 
(AC) and Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Stakeholder Groups 
(SG)[d]. This bottom-up process involved up to five people from each of these 
groups that comprise ICANN’s volunteer community. The concepts expressed in 
this paper are the result of discussion having taken place on the working 
group’s mailing list, the CCWG Wiki space created to support it and weekly 
conference calls throughout the months of January and February 2014.

"Due to time pressures, the proposals expressed in this contribution have not, 
so far, been ratified by the respective SOs, ACs and SGs of ICANN. Further 
communication will advise the NetMundial Organizing Committee if such 
ratification takes place before the meeting in Brazil."

is there a change to that draft that would address the issue you’re raising?
