Subject: [ccnso-council] call for volunteers: Rejection Action Petition Manager + back-up

Dear all,

Following a discussion during the 24 May ccNSO Council call, I am hereby sending you a call for volunteers for 2 councillors, one to serve as Rejection Action Petition Manager and one as Rejection Action Petition Manager back-up.

If you are interested in this position, kindly send an email to joke.braeken@icann.org, latest on Tue, 5 June 2018 COB.

Background

During its 24 May meeting, the ccNSO council adopted the Guideline on Rejection Action Procedures. (https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/84219624/Item%204.1%2024%20May%202018%20Draft%20Guideline%20Rejection%20Actions%20V7%20May2018%5B2%5D.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1526653693000&api=v2 [community.icann.org] )

The timelines for rejection actions are very tight. To deal with this issue as best as possible, the GRC proposed that a limited number of Councillors (2) manage the Rejection Action process, in light of the critical role of the ccNSO Council in the process. A core role has been designed for the Rejection Action Petition Manager. To make sure that we do not create a single point of failure, a Rejection Action Petition Manager back-up is needed as well.

According to the ICANN Bylaws [icann.org], the ccNSO is one of the Decisional Participants of the Empowered Community (EC). The ccNSO, as decisional participant, shall act through its chair or another person as may be designated by the ccNSO. Stephen Deerhake (.as) as ccNSO appointed member of the EC Administration, and ccNSO Council chair Katrina Sataki cannot apply for the position of Rejection Action Petition Manager and back-up.
