Call for Volunteers: GNSO Expedited PDP on Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data
In light of the European General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), the ICANN Board enacted a temporary policy governing WHOIS (now know as Registration Data) effective 25 May 2018. This temporary policy must be replaced by a permanent policy within one year. To take this action, the GNSO has initiated and Expedited Policy Development Policy. The Charted for this process is expected to be approved by the GNSO on 19 July 2018, and a group convened to develop the policy will be convened soon after. Although the membership quotas of this group will not be definitively known until the charter is approved, at this point we expect that the ALAC will be given three Members and three Alternates. It is expected that Alternates may only actively participate if a Member is not available, but would be expected to be prepared to participate if needed. Members and Alternates representing the ALAC will work as a team to develop an ALAC position and strive to appropriately effect the policy effort. There will be regular consultation with the ALAC and At-Large. Since the policy must be in place by 25 May 2019, it is expected that a draft policy will be prepared in time for the ICANN63 meeting in late October 2018. Membership in the EPDP is expected to require up to 30 hours per week, starting immediately and at least for the first 4 months, and probably a lower but still significant commitment until mid-2018. The GNSO is also setting some very specific criteria for participation. Although the list may change, the current requirements are as follows: * Have sufficient and appropriate motivation, availability and expertise to participate in the substance of the work of the EPDP Team. Appropriate experience could, for example, include experience with the previous RDS/WHOIS policy development processes, task forces, or implementation review teams, or participation in EWG efforts; * Commit to abide by the EPDP Team Commitment Statement, and to accept the consequences of non-compliance as may be determined by the EPDP leadership or appointing group; * Commit to build consensus on issues within the scope of this EPDP; * Commit to actively participate in the activities of the EPDP on an on-going and long-term basis, for a period of no less than one-year, with the highest intensity expected in the first six to eight months; * Solicit and communicate (where appropriate) the views and concerns of individuals in the group that appoints them; * Commit to abide to the charter when participating in the EPDP Team; * Understand the needs of the Internet communities that ICANN serves (standards, domains and numbers); * Commit to attend any provided introductory training courses, e.g., privacy, trademarks, registrar operations, DNS, etc. * Understand the broader ecosystem (the Internet Community) in which ICANN operates and the needs of those working on other aspects of the Internet industry. Membership and participation will be on behalf of the ALAC and not representing personal views. Expressions of Interest will be accepted until 23:59 UTC on Friday, 13 July 2018. The EoI may be found at https://tinyurl.com/ALAC-EPDP-EoI. If you complete the EoI more than once, the last version will be the one used.
Dear Alan, I am reading your call for candidates for the EPDP and one thing (in particular) has raised my attention: On 11/07/2018 01:50, Alan Greenberg wrote:

When we asked about this "up to 30 hours per week" and wondered whether this was reasonable for a volunteer, we were told that this doesn't mean 30 hours of calls per week, but the total number of hours including document reading and drafting could be 30 hours per week. I still wonder whether this is reasonable to ask from a volunteer. Could these 30 hours per week be pooled? Kindest regards, Olivier
I know the GAC has said it needs multiple people because they could not find individuals to do a full load. That being said, I believe we need a core that will participate fully. So I do not think we will modify the words, but clearly we will need to be flexible in how we select people. Alan At 11/07/2018 09:36 AM, Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond wrote:

Olivier As a member interested in the GDPR and deeply involved in the legislation here, I would assume that anyone that have read all the GDPR legislation, the letters exchanged by ICANN with the EDPB, and knowing the WHOIS demand, time will be much less demanded than these 30 hours, since lots of this work will be referred to those documents. However, if you are not so familiar, will experience may be more than those 30 hours, at least in the beginning of this work. As I read in all correspondence from ALAN, this call for volunteers is demanded previous knowledge. The more you know about it, the less the dedicated time will be for you. We all are involved in several WG in ICANN itself and our Ralos in particular and will continue to be involved. Balance the time is on each one of us. Certainly, ask for 30 hours a week for volunteers is too much, will only work if you are full retired and eager to look for something else to fulfill your free time. For me this is a quite interesting work because is aligned with I am done here (next Monday will record a podcast about GDPR and local legislation and will certainly refer to WHOIS). Besides the chair/ co-chairs, other members with a previous knowledge will be able to manage the time expended. kisses Vanda Scartezini Polo Consultores Associados Av.

To be clear, the 30 hour/week estimate came from the GNSO and I am pretty sure was presuming the person already has full background knowledge. It is a heavy demand and we are presuming that few people will be able to make it. Others can be observers and can contribute through the At-Large gTLD WG and webinars and conference calls we will be having. Alan At 11/07/2018 01:14 PM, Vanda Scartezini wrote:
