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
