It will also review the operations of prior and current CWGs (including without limitation the DSSA WG, the Joint ccNSO-GAC IDN WG, the Joint ccNSO-GNSO IDN WG and the GNSO-ALAC Joint Applicant Support WG.) It will have to consider the different remits and operating procedures of each of ICANN’s SOs and ACs and the types of issues that might be suitable for CWG work, in developing the final Framework for the chartering, operation, decision making and termination of future CWGs.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 12pt; background-color: white;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 3.75pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">How this team will work<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 12pt; background-color: white;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">ICANN WGs use transparent, open processes.
