We are looking for a total of four volunteers to join a cross-community team, which will be responsible for drafting the charter of the upcoming cross-community Working Group on the IANA Stewardship transition.

Once the charter has been approved, another call for volunteers will follow for the cross-community Working Group itself.

We are looking for people that preferably have experience in drafting charters, are interested the NTIA Evaluation Transition process and cross-community work. A list of items which need to be addressed are listed below.

As the charter needs to be finished as soon as possible, the team members are expected to be available for a short time frame, but with a high time commitment.

If you are interested in joining this team, please, let us know by sending me an email by Wednesday, 2 July. The Council will appoint the drafting team members at their Council meeting later that day.

Kind regards,

Gabi
