Selection
Criteria and Process ccTLD members
CWG to
develop an IANA Stewardship Transition Proposal
for Naming Related Function.
Introduction
At it’s meeting
on 21 August, the ccNSO Council adopted the charter
of the Cross-Community Working Group re IANA
Stewardship Transition process. As requested, the
secretariat sent out a call for membership.
At the same
meeting, the Council agreed it would select the
ccTLD members on the Cross-community working group
at its next meeting, 25 September 2014. It was also
noted that the selection process and criteria still
needed to be defined.
Selection
Criteria
It is suggested
to use the following criteria, based upon the call
for volunteers. Candidates are expected to:
· Have a thorough
understanding of operating requirements of a ccTLD
manager;
· Commit to
actively participate in the activities of the CWG on
an ongoing and long-term basis;
· Solicit and
communicate the views and concerns of individuals
from the ccTLD community, where appropriate; and
· Demonstrate
effective communication skills to represent ccTLD
interests on the CWG and to keep the ccNSO and
broader ccTLD community abreast of the state of play
in the working group.
Further, and
again according to the call for nominations, the
Council will take into account the diversity of the
ccTLD community, including its geographical
diversity.

nominations closes today, 11 September, at 23.59 UTC
