Communiqué from Shanghai meeting

Communiqué from the ccNSO Assistance Group - Shanghai

29 October 2002

The ccNSO AG has identified five areas on which it will make recommendations (scope, policy development process, membership, council, structure) to the ERC.

The AG considered scope to be the primary issue and met with the ccTLD constituency on Monday 28 October 2002 to receive input on its thinking.

The AG received general support for its proposed methodology for defining scope and based on this it will solidify its recommendation.

The ccNSO AG intends to proceed with preparing recommendations on the remaining four issues in the following manner:

1. posting preliminary recommendations on each issue.
2. requesting feedback in a timely manner.
3. considering feedback in relation to the preliminary recommendation and its effect on other recommendations.
4. compiling all recommendations and providing them to the ERC.

In completing its work, the ccNSO AG is extremely conscious of ensuring that it provides its recommendations in a prudent, timely and efficient manner.
