<DIV>Dear Mohamed</DIV>
<DIV>We have A formal representative from the Board. Who actively participate in
our discussion . We gave Bruce in CCWG who acts as Liaison between the Board and
CCWG.</DIV>
<DIV>CCWG has never send any formal letter to the Board to ask how they think of
the implementation. I do object to ask in a formal way any views from the Board
in this regard.</DIV>
<DIV>Let us act independently . At later stage, once we received replies from
OCs we may consider the necessity to seek views from the Bostd. </DIV>
<DIV>regards</DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>"I ask that the community provide us with an update
on the status of the transition planning and the associated
timeframes, including the community\u2019s views as to how long it will
take to finalize the transition plan and implement it after it is
approved. We request that you and the three primary customer working
groups provide us with your views before the end of June, which will
give you the opportunity to discuss these issues with the
multistakeholder community at the June ICANN meeting in Argentina. In
providing this feedback, please keep in mind that the United States
Government will need sufficient time to evaluate the proposal and that
all work items identified either by the ICG and the
CCWG-Accountability as prerequisites for the transition will need to
be implemented prior to the ending of the
contract.\u201d<U></U><U></U></P></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>The ICG is therefore gathering input about how much
time the operational communities believe they will need to complete
proposal development and implement the aspects of the transition
proposal that the communities have identified as needing to be
completed prior to the expiry of the NTIA contract (e.g., creation of
new contracts, agreements, or entities). From start to finish,
approximately how many weeks or months do you think your community
will need to complete proposal development? From start to finish,
approximately how many weeks or months do you think your community
will need to complete implementation of these aspects? We understand
that these time frames may be difficult to predict; we would
appreciate your best estimates and an explanation of factors
contributing to those estimates.<U></U><U></U></P></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>If you could provide us an initial response via our
liaisons to the CWG (Martin Boyle, Milton Mueller, and Xiaodong Lee)
by June 9 at 23:59 UTC, that would be much appreciated. If you have
further thoughts to communicate to us later in June, that would be
welcome.<U></U><U></U></P></DIV>
