From: Ccnsosecretariat <ccnsosecretariat-bounces(a)icann.org> on behalf of Mary Wong <mary.wong(a)icann.org> Date: Friday, 18 December 2020 at 22:27 To: ccNSO Secretariat <ccnsosecretariat(a)icann.org> Subject: [Ccnsosecretariat] FW: [IRP Standing Panel] Expression of Interest to serve on the Community Representatives Group to Select Independent Review Process Standing Panel Dear Katrina and ccNSO colleagues, Please see below and attached for David McAuley’s application to be endorsed by the ccNSO, to serve as its representative on the new Community Representatives Group. We have acknowledged receipt of Mr. McAuley’s application and informed him that he will be notified as to its outcome. As you may know, we have also suggested to the SOAC Chairs that each group confirm its selection by 29 January 2021, if at all possible. We understand that this request adds to the community’s existing workload, especially at this time of year. We will do our best to support your selection process as much as is appropriate. Please do not hesitate to let me or any of my ICANN org colleagues know how we can continue to assist you. Thank you! Best regards, Mary (on behalf of the ICANN org team supporting the Community Representatives Group/IRP Standing Panel selection effort) From: IRP-standing-panel <irp-standing-panel-bounces(a)icann.org> on behalf of "McAuley, David via IRP-standing-panel" <irp-standing-panel(a)icann.org> Reply-To: "McAuley, David" <dmcauley(a)Verisign.com> Date: Thursday, December 3, 2020 at 4:00 PM To: "'irp-standing-panel(a)icann.org'" <irp-standing-panel(a)icann.org> Subject: [IRP Standing Panel] Expression of Interest to serve on the Community Representatives Group to Select Independent Review Process Standing Panel I hereby submit this Expression of Interest to serve on the Community Representatives Group to Select Independent Review Process Standing Panel. I also hereby request the endorsement of the ccNSO to serve in this capacity. I have been active in the ccNSO since late 2014 and have served since 2015 on its Guideline Review Committee. I have been employed by Verisign, Inc., since September 2014, and serve there as Senior International Policy and Business Development Manager. Disclosure: There is a currently pending IRP matter known as Afilias Domains No. 3 Limited (.WEB). In this matter I submitted a written statement, and, in August of this year, I testified and was cross-examined during a virtual hearing. Verisign has intervened in this matter as Amicus Curiae. Otherwise, I have no connection with this matter of which I am aware. Attached is my current CV showing relevant experience. Here are particular experiences I have of relevance to service on this group: * I am an attorney admitted to practice before the United States Supreme Court. I am a member of the Bars of the states of Pennsylvania and Texas in the USA (both now in inactive status as I have retired from the active practice of law). * I served as a Special Court-Martial military judge when I was on active duty in the U.S. Navy Judge Advocate General’s Corps. I heard about 25 cases, most of which were bench trials (judge alone) but several of which were members (jury) trials. Special Courts-Martial are similar to misdemeanor criminal courts. * During part of the 1990’s, I served as an arbitrator for the American Arbitration Association. I sat on three cases. One was as a member of a three-member panel and the others were as a sole panelist. All cases regarded commercial disputes and settled during the motion phase. * While living in Dallas, Texas, I served as a political appointee to the Dallas Civil Service Commission and heard and decided, as a member of a three-commissioner panel, ten to twenty appeals of personnel action. * For two years I served on a Texas Bar committee that vetted the backgrounds of applicants to the Texas Bar. * With respect to the ICANN IRP, I have the following experience: * I participated as an active member of CCWG-Accountability Work Streams 1 and 2 and served on the CCWG’s Legal Team; * I have participated in the ongoing IRP Implementation Oversight Team since its inception and served as Chair for approximately two years prior to its recent reconstitution. I remain active in the IoT. * I am well acquainted with the provisions of ICANN Bylaw 4.3 dealing with IRP. * I have worked in a number of ICANN-related teams across multiple times zones and with numerous colleagues: * Participant, as noted above, in CCWG-Accountability Work Streams 1 and 2; * Active in ccNSO including service on Guideline review Committee; * Active in GNSO – specifically the RySG; * Active in IRP-IOT; * Active for entire duration of GNSO’s RPM PDP Phase 1, including: * Co-Chair of ‘Sunrise’ Subteam; * Chair of Subteam A – tasked with considering public comments on all matters excepting URS. * I served as Assistant General Counsel of a publicly traded software company (Hogan Systems, Inc.) where I managed the defense of several commercial lawsuits in federal district courts in the USA – including managing representation by outside counsel. * I served as General Counsel of an international software company (Uniplex, Ltd. – privately held) where I hired counsel and managed outside counsel. I have permission of my employer to commit the time and attention necessary to perform this role. Best regards, David McAuley Sr International Policy & Business Development Manager Verisign Inc. 703-948-4154

Draft Guidelines and Procedure document for review
by Bart Boswinkel Jan. 20, 2021

Jan. 20, 2021

Dear all, Please find included two documents that will be introduced for your review and comments at eh upcoming Council meeting. * Procedures for the nomination of WG/Committee (Vice-)Chair(s). The procedures will be annexed to the existing Guidelines of establishing WG and collaboration ( read committee) groups. The procedures proposed look at the nomination by the WG members and if more candidates the selection of candidates by the members. On a side note, creating such a procedure was a recommendation of the Independent Reviewers and the IDNccPDP 4 Chair and vice-chair nomination show cased the need for such a procedure. * Guideline, which consolidates selection and appointment of various liaisons and members to groups. This Guideline, after being adopted wil replace a whole set of documents, and provides the general selection mechanism, if a new group with limited membership would emerge. After introduction on the call, Councillors will be asked to review the drafts ( from 21-29 January). After up[dating the proposals, the membership will be asked to provide comments. Goal is to adopt the two documents at the February Council meeting. Kind regards, Bart
