In using "represents the interests", it goes further than "acts in the best interests", but it also opens the door to criticism that there are no procedures in place to ask every Internet user what they think, so it further exacerbates the issue of legitimacy. Thus I would support "acts in the best interests" Kindest regards, Olivier On 22/11/2020 14:17, Maureen Hilyard wrote: Dear Tijani Thank for first bringing this matter to our attention. It is an issue that Alan raised as one that should be dealt with before the report is accepted. The two alternatives that I had originally been given as replacements for "oversee" were "advocate for" and "represent" ... But I see that your recommendations also include "represents the interests of" and "is the voice of". I will ask staff create a poll for the ALAC to pose the alternatives to be considered for their selection. Thank you again for your suggestions.

ICANN committed through its Bylaws that the ICANN community has a role in identifying the final composition of the Standing Panel slate.

LOS ANGELES – 13 November 2020 – The Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is seeking a neutral chair for the remaining Phase 2A work of the Expedited Policy Development Process (EPDP) on the Temporary Specification for Generic Top-Level Domain (gTLD) Registration Data. Candidates interested in serving in this role should review the Expressions of Interest document <https://newsalerts.icann.org/iceC0NR2gyP00d000822E00> before submitting their application. The document details the role description, required skills and experience, time commitment, and selection process. The deadline to submit an Expression of Interest has been extended to 23 November 2020 at 23:59 UTC. There will be no compensation associated with the role of the EPDP Team chair; however, travel associated with any face-to-face meetings may be supported by the ICANN org. Please note that face-to-face meetings are currently paused due to pandemic travel restrictions. Expressions of Interest should be submitted to EOI-EPDPTeam-chair(a)icann.org <https://newsalerts.icann.org/Y0d0e0dNg0028002PRC0zE2>. By submitting your personal data, you agree that your personal data will be processed in accordance with the ICANN Privacy Policy <https://newsalerts.icann.org/HC002020Nge8eE00P2R00Ad>, and you agree to abide by the electronic Terms of Service <https://newsalerts.icann.org/v0080NeB0dPECgf2R022000>. Background on EPDP Phase 2A The two remaining topics that are part of Phase 2A will be: - Legal vs. natural persons - Feasibility of unique contacts to have a uniform anonymized email address Instructions for the EPDP Team to address the issues of Phase 2A: 1. Legal vs. natural persons: The EPDP Team is expected to review the study <https://newsalerts.icann.org/v0080NeC0dPECgg2R022000> undertaken by ICANN org (as requested by the EPDP Team and approved by the GNSO Council during Phase 1), the legal guidance <https://newsalerts.icann.org/XdP0ghR0N000Ee082022CD0> provided by Bird & Bird LLP, as well as the substantive input provided on this topic during the Public Comment forum on the addendum <https://newsalerts.icann.org/V8Ri000de20E200CP02gEN0>. The Team will then answer: 1. Whether any updates are required to the EPDP Phase 1 recommendation on this topic ("Registrars and Registry Operators are permitted to differentiate between registrations of legal and natural persons, but are not obligated to do so <https://newsalerts.icann.org/a0200P022C0800jEFRNe0gd>.", Rec. #17, EPDP Phase 1 Final Report <https://newsalerts.icann.org/a0200P022C0800jEFRNe0gd>) 2. What guidance, if any, can be provided to registrars and/or registries who differentiate between registrations of legal and natural persons. 2. In relation to the feasibility of unique contacts obtaining a uniform anonymized email address, the EPDP Team is expected to review the legal guidance <https://newsalerts.icann.org/eN08GE02000RCe0202kPg0d> and consider specific proposals that provide sufficient safeguards to address issues flagged in the legal memo. Groups that requested additional time to consider this topic, which include the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC), Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC), and Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC), will be responsible to come forward with concrete proposals to address this topic. This consideration is expected to address: 1. Whether or not a uniform anonymized email address for unique contacts is feasible and, if feasible, whether it should be a requirement. 2. If feasible but not a requirement, what guidance, if any, can be provided to contracted parties who may want to implement uniform anonymized email addresses. For clarity, the GNSO Council is not directing any particular outcome on either topic. As manager of the policy development process (PDP), it is sharing its expectations for which questions should be addressed as part of the EPDP Team's deliberations. Consistent with the Policy Development Process Manual <https://newsalerts.icann.org/Y0d0e0lNg0028002PRC0HE2>, the GNSO Council does expect that all the required steps are followed in the consideration of these issues. These steps may include further Public Comment on an initial report as well as a final report that would be considered an addendum to the EPDP Phase 2 Final Report. Additional information about the EPDP is located in the Annex-A1 of the ICANN Bylaws <https://newsalerts.icann.org/SR0E2d08P000NCg0200e2mI> and EPDP Manual <https://newsalerts.icann.org/L202ER0020Je0Cn8g0P0d0N>.
