The GNSO's New gTLD Subsequent
Procedures PDP Working Group is establishing a new Work Track 5 (WT5) which
will focus exclusively on geographic names at the top-level. This has been a
very contentious issue with a wide variety of difficult-to-reconcile
positions, but one that must be resolved prior to any future new gTLD
availability.
In order to promote broad participation from across
the community, the WG is seeking to establish a shared leadership model in
WT5 with co-leaders from the ALAC, ccNSO, GAC and GNSO.
Past efforts
in this area have included a ccNSO Study Group and a Cross-Community Working
Group (CCWG) on the use of country names as Top Level Domains (TLDs). (See
https://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/unctwg.htm and
https://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/ccwg-unct.htm.)
We are looking
for a person who is well acquainted with the multiple views on the subject
within ICANN, has knowledge of and preferably experience in the past
efforts, and who can work closely with the ALAC and an At-Large WG
supporting the effort.
We note that to a large extent, the person
serving in this capacity is a facilitator for the Work Track and not there
to put forward their personal positions.
Interested
candidates should send an Expression of Interest detailing their experience
and willingness to serve in all aspects of this role to
staff@atlarge.icann.org no later than 23:59 UTC on Monday, 28 August
2017.
The ALAC will also be looking for volunteers to
participate in the WT5 once it is established, but this Call for Volunteers
is exclusively for the position of Co-Leader.
