Dear Trang, I am pleased to inform you that in accordance with section 18.7 (a) of the ICANN Bylaws, the ccNSO Council has appointed the following two persons as the “Two representatives appointed by the ccNSO from its ccTLD registry operator representatives”: Frederico Neves, .br (Brazil), LAC region Peter Koch, .de (Germany), EU region With respect to third candidate the ccNSO Council is required to appoint according section 18.7 (b) of the ICANN Bylaws, we have to inform you that no non-ccNSO ccTLD representative who is associated with a ccTLD registry operator that is not a representative of the ccNSO has applied for membership despite the extensive outreach efforts: On 20 July, initial information about the coming call for volunteers sent out to all email lists under auspices of the ccNSO, including the ccTLD world list to which all ccTLD managers are subscribed

From 10 August to 24 August, the call for volunteers was announced to all email lists; From 27 August to 10 September, second call for volunteers was announced to all email lists; As suggested in the Bylaws, the ccNSO Council reached out to the Regional ccTLD organisations who informed their members on their respective email lists and encouraged their members to apply; Announcements on the ccNSO Website; Reminders to the email lists – 14 August, 21 August, 7 September.

As no candidate from the non-ccNSO members group of ccTLD managers has volunteered, the ccNSO Council appointed a third person on an interim basis to ensure the voice of the ccTLD community at large is properly represented on the IFRT. This person will step down and be replaced on the IFRT if a candidate from a non-ccNSO ccTLD manager with the required skills and experience as defined in the original call for volunteers steps forward and is appointed by the ccNSO Council. The third ccTLD representative on the IFRT who is appointed on an interim basis by the ccNSO Council is the following person: Helen MacDonald, .ca (Canada), NA Region. If you have any questions pertaining this appointment, please do not hesitate to contact me.
