The CWG will move forward with ICANN as a possible signatory to the Community Agreement.
The preamble to the Community Agreement should delete the blank underscore before ("Names Community") and replace it with [the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers]. To be clear, the square brackets should appear in the document.
This should be accompanied by a footnote, which will have the following text:
CWG-Stewardship is considering the appropriate entity to be the signatory to the Community Agreement on behalf of the Names Community. At the request of the CWG-Stewardship, ICANN has indicated that it could serve as the counterparty to the Community Agreement on behalf of the Names Community and ICANN has been included in this draft. ICANN (or another counterparty) would be subject to process and criteria as determined by CWG-Stewardship.
If you have any questions, please respond to this email. Thanks!
