Thanks Katrina Comments from me: * Overall these ToR seem clear and sensible, but the timelines are ambitious! * Composition of the IRP Community Rep Group: I think only one or two representatives from each SO/AC, otherwise it’s going to be a long and painful process (see above on the ambitious timelines). I would imagine for the ccNSO we would put out a call for volunteers and then the council can decide who to appoint, so the selection process itself I am happy with the first option in square brackets “Each SO/AC shall appoint x representatives in accordance with its own internal processes etc]. If this is genuinely to be a 3-4 month project then I don’t think we need the section about replacement members. * Confidentiality, I think this should be a closed group with processes more like the Nom Com and so I don’t think we can allow observers; the transparency I think will come out once the IRP appointments are made which will presumably all be public with the background and qualifications of the appointees? * Working methods: agreed there should be a recording for transparency and archival, but not published, and yes there should be some brief high level notes and locked wiki space (assume the Nom Com does similar) * Decision making: preference by consensus of course, but if necessary decisions by majority vote with the chair having a casting vote.

Thank you, ]{atrina From: Mary Wong [mailto:mary.wong@icann.org] Sent: Tuesday, August 25, 2020 4:19 AM Subject: FOR COMMUNITY FEEDBACK: Draft Terms of Reference for Community Representatives Group regarding IRP Standing Panel Selection Dear community leaders, Please find attached for your and your community groups’ review and feedback a draft set of Terms of Reference concerning the Community Representatives Group that will be tasked to work with ICANN org and an external consultant to select a slate of nominees to the IRP Standing Panel for confirmation by the ICANN Board. This was ICANN org’s action item from the call we all had on 27 July and we look forward to your feedback. You will see that the draft incorporates the suggestions and feedback from that call and includes a number of suggestions and questions in square brackets that await your further consideration and decision. In addition, there is a suggested timeline on Page 2 that we hope will be helpful to you in determining the level of commitment that can be expected of members of the Group. While the actual cadence, timing and duration of the Group’s meetings remain to be determined, we think that the initial work will likely require several hours of commitment per week. We look forward to receiving your input so that we can finalize the Terms of Reference as soon as possible following the end of the Expression of Interest period for potential panelists on 31 August. To that end, we propose organizing another call with you to discuss your feedback either next week or as soon as possible. At the next call, we also hope that you will be able to decide on how you wish to populate the Group so that we can proceed with the selection work without delay. We will circulate a Doodle poll shortly to determine a day and time for this next call. Thank you again for your attention and guidance on this important matter. Best regards, Mary
