[Internal-cg] Implementation plan, steering group etc

[Paul Wilson]

Hi all,

On Friday we have an agenda slot to discuss ongoing role of ICG in 
implementation (if any).

My reading of the discussion so far is that we don’t have consensus to 
change or extend the role of the ICG itself, but we do have some 
agreement that there is a role in the implementation process which does 
need to be filled; to track implementation progress, handle 
communications and any reporting, assist IANA with priorities and 
sequencing, etc etc. Personally I think it is quite a lightweight role, 
but an important one nevertheless.

I agree with the comments that this type of role is not for the IGC, but 
much better for a new working group (by some name and description) which 
would be freshly established by the OCs.  However I do believe that it 
is within the ICG’s mandate to recommend such a mechanism, as a 
legitimate part of the plan itself.  It may still then be up to the OCs 
to agree, then to assign their reps to the group and work out the finer 
details of its operations.

Thoughts?

Paul.
