Dear BC colleagues Please see communication from Chuck Gomes, CHAIR, GNSO policy council, regarding two applications/for Review Panels. While I am not at all clear on the process that the GNSO Policy council will follow to forward names for consideration since that is still under development, it is important to also ensure that BC members know that other processes to submit their interests exists. For example, see below for two submissions made to ICANN, which identified the GNSO as their affiliation, and which now will become part of the GNSO Policy council 'list' to be considered. If you are personally interested, or have an executive from your organization whom you want to nominate, you may wish to follow the process of submitting relevant information directly to ICANN.

Good morning,

In line with Chuck Gomes' request (see below), you will find enclosed two

endorsement applications for Affirmation of Commitments reviews from candidates that indicated GNSO as their SO.

Please note that although candidates have specified an order of preference

for the reviews to be performed, both selected the 'Accountability and Transparency' review which Mr. Gomes stresses in his email.

The compressed folders attached to this email contain the applicants' CV

and motivation letter.

The application deadline for the 'Accountability and Transparency' review

will expire on February the 22nd, midnight UTC, but as you know the GNSO Council will have until the 1st March to endorse the candidatures.

Best regards

Alice

Marco,

The GNSO requests that applications received from volunteers for the Accountability and Transparency RT be forwarded to the GNSO Secretariat as soon as possible after receipt for distribution to the Council list, SGs and other GNSO organization lists. If applications are received prior to finalization of the GNSO endorsement process on 18 February, it would be helpful if the applicants seeking GNSO endorsement were informed that additional GNSO information requirements will be identified on 18 February and will be requested at that time along with the CV and motivation letter. If there are any concerns with this, please let me know.

Thanks for your assistance.

Chuck Gomes
