<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">I reject categorically the idea that we need this group to educate the ICANN community about IG. I find the general level of knowledge and discourse about IG
within ICANN to be quite high, and the level of discourse on CCWG-IG sessions to be quite low. When I have attended its sessions, I have not been impressed. I have seen attendance at its sessions in ICANN meetings decline regularly, mainly because of a lot
of pointless wrangling inside the group about who gets to be in the limelight and a rather self-selecting group, in which diverse views about the IG landscape are _<i>not</i>_ aired and controversies are avoided.

pretty good job of it 2-3 years ago, and its time has passed. Let’s go for a full refresh.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">I am a firm believer that this CCWG should exist and it should do so for a very specific reason:<br>
<br>
(comment from me on another list) <i>I would like to see a discussion of what this WG can do to help enlighten and inform and recommend how ICANN the organization involves itself in IG matters. The value of this WG is its expertise and that expertise should
help (at a minimum) ICANN in its approach, policies and other approaches to IG generally. This is the greatest (potential) added value of this WG to the organization and its community.</i><br>

into the NETmundial meeting in Sao Paulo in April 2014; and to serve as a focal point for community members interested in ICANN’s role in the larger Internet governance ecosystem. As things have evolved subsequently, its main activities have been to a) communicate
with staff on its representations of ICANN in international meetings, e.g. in the UN; and b) plan the public Internet governance sessions held at each ICANN meeting.<o:p></o:p></p>
