Further to the below, we've been asked to clarify that rather than Services staff, the new gTLD staff are actually the group within staff managing the process. Sorry for any confusion this may have caused. At-Large Staff wrote:
Dear All:
It may be useful to note that the Board's request for Staff to study the potential impact of an "Expressions of Interest Process" (http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-30oct09-en.htm#5) is being handled by ICANN's Services Staff. More information will be publicly posted in the near future. Those interested in the subject may wish to participate in this effort. We shall of course post further information as it becomes available.

Actually, we are both right. Before the first call, there was a willingness to work with a small group with a good balance between all parties, in the hope that it would be easier to find consensus. This is what I reported. However, during and after the call, some people asked for colleagues to be included. There are now 21 people in the WG, up from 15 originally. I still have other subscription requests pending for the mailing list. My concern is that I am not sure this will help getting the job done faster, better or if it will be the opposite. Patrick

Thanks Bret, I will be happy to be part of that discussion but your impression is contradictory to the mail send by Patrick on Monday:

Thanks James and Siva for volunteering. My understanding is that the group participants were selected as to have both an adequate coverage of all AC/SOs and regions, without favouring
one
or another. It was also meant to be rather limited so as to move forward fast. Hence, I am afraid there is no possibility to add participants. I note however, that the WG still misses a member from Africa. However, as I said, I would be happy to relay your concerns. Patrick"

I was on the call yesterday, and I had the distinct impression that the group wanted to be open. Who wants to be on the mailing list and phone calls? I will forward your names to the group.

OK it is an UNOFFICIAL CLOSED group of a bunch of interested people. Yes they are interested! But to what? If it is period then it is not time for "official" At-Large participation.
