Subject: [Ext] Blog by CRG to nominate IRP Standing Panel

Dear members of the ccNSO Council,

As the ccNSO appointee to the IRP Community Representatives Group to propose nominees to the ICANN IRP Omnibus Standing Panel, I wanted to draw your attention to an update blog that the seven CRG members wrote that has just been posted to the ICANN website:

https://www.icann.org/en/blogs/details/update-on-the-icann-independent-review-process-standing-panel-composition-27-10-2022-en

Our CRG group is about to enter an intensive period of interviews and consideration of candidates. Much of the work will remain confidential by virtue of its nature but I will endeavor to keep you aware of progress.

Thank you for appointing me to this group, and best wishes,

David
