RE: [council] FW: NomCom appointee skill sets

Dear all: Based on recommendations by others, and a shift from the ambiguous to the explicit, I note that intellectual property law is absent from the criteria. Accordingly I would ask for the following amendment.  International law  Competition law  Intellectual property law  Public interest issues  Consumer rights  Human rights  Economics, especially market analysis  Market mechanisms and dynamics  Business principles Thank you, Brian Brian J.

Nov. 1, 2014

Thanks very much for your comments, David. I would pose the exact same questions back with respect to the suggestion to add “data protection and privacy law.” Likewise, pardon my teasing, but are you suggesting that the six representatives the NCSG already generally provides to council are somehow inadequate in this regard? In the end, I think it would be great if more folks in leadership positions within ICANN exhibited a demonstrated comprehension (and better yet, a commitment toward the protection) of intellectual property law.

Cc: council(a)gnso.icann.org<mailto:council@gnso.icann.org> Subject: Re: [council] FW: NomCom appointee skill sets I would have thought this was an odd request for the IPC to make, as it implies the two intellectual property lawyers that IPC already generally provides to council are somehow inadequate. Or perhaps you are suggesting that council needs more people who are able to provide an expert intellectual property law perspective from outside the IPC, in which case I agree :-) But if you'll pardon my teasing above - more seriously, while I absolutely agree that intellectual property law expertise is valuable to council, I would have thought intellectual property law is also one area of expertise that council is pretty much guaranteed to possess, and the NomCom appointees are designed more to fill gaps, rather than bolster areas of relative strength?

Update - Cross -Community Working Group to Develop an IANA Stewardship Transition Proposal on Naming Related Functions
by Bruce Tonkin Oct. 31, 2014

Oct. 31, 2014

Hello All, Attached is the latest set of documents from the Cross -Community Working Group to Develop an IANA Stewardship Transition Proposal on Naming Related Functions. The wiki for their work is available at: https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocwgdtstwrdshp/CWG+to+Develop+an+IAN… There is a public mailing list available here: http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/cwg-stewardship/ GNSO Community members are welcome to join as participants: Participating The CWG is open to members and participants (formerly 'observers'). In addition to members, who are appointed by the chartering organizations, anyone interested in the work of the CWG, can join as a participant. Participants are expected to actively engage in and attend all meetings. The only difference between a member and a participant is that any consensus calls or formal decisions that may need to be made will be limited to CWG members appointed by the chartering organizations. However, this does not take away that it is the expectation that the CWG will operate as much as possible with the views and consensus support of all participants in mind as the importance of considering all input and views on this important topic is recognized. Participants may be from a chartering organization, from a stakeholder group or organization not represented in the CWG or currently active within ICANN, or self-appointed. How to join If you are interested in joining, please contact Grace Abuhamad (grace.abuhamad(a)icann.org. All participants (members and observers) will be listed below (https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=49351381 ) . All participants are also required to submit a Statement of Interest (SOI) following the procedures of their chartering organization, or where that is not applicable, the GNSO Procedures should be followed (see Statement of Interest (SOI) Instructions) https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocwgdtstwrdshp/Statement+of+Interest… Regards, Bruce Tonkin

FW: NomCom appointee skill sets
by Jonathan Robinson Oct. 30, 2014

Oct. 30, 2014

All, I have received a request from the ICANN Nominations Committee chair to provide a revised or re-confirmed skill-set description. Apparently the last such skill set review was revised and updated back in 2010. Therefore, it is certainly timely to provide a revision, update or re-affirmation of what they are working with. Accordingly, please can you review the attached and provide any feedback or input as you see fit. Thanks, Jonathan From: Joette Youkhanna [mailto:joette.youkhanna@icann.org] Sent: 23 October 2014 17:42 To: Jonathan Robinson Cc: Jia-Juh Kimoto; Cheryl Langdon-Orr; Glen de Saint Géry; Marika Konings; Stephane Van Gelder; Ron Andruff Subject: RE: NomCom appointee skill sets Dear Jonathan, As requested by Stephane, 2015 NomCom Chair, please find attached a document containing excerpts from two NomCom documents outlining the skill sets/criteria for GNSO positions filled by the NomCom. These skill sets were last reviewed and updated by Chuck Gomes in November 2010. The 2015 NomCom expects to open the application cycle in first week of December 2014. As for timing to receive edits to these skill sets, we should receive them by 19 November for incorporation into the master documents for posting. Many thanks in advance and please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Kind regards, Joette

Volunteers requested - GNSO Council liaisons
by Marika Konings Oct. 24, 2014

Oct. 24, 2014

Dear All, One of the items of the wrap up meeting was finding volunteers for the different liaison positions that have become vacant due to people stepping down from the GNSO Council. You¹ll find below a list of working groups / efforts in need of a liaison and a list of those that volunteered during the wrap up session. If there are additional volunteers for these efforts, please feel free to share your interest with the list. As a reminder, the main objective of a liaison is to be able to assist the WG should there be any issues or questions for the GNSO Council as well as being able to address any questions the GNSO Council may have in relation to the effort. Furthermore, a liaison facilitates the submission of documents and motions once the WG has completed its work. Best regards, Marika * Curative Rights Protections for IGO/INGOs PDP volunteer: none to date * Data & Metrics for Policy Making volunteer: none to date * Privacy & Proxy Services Accreditation Issues PDP volunteer: James Bladel * Translation & Transliteration PDP volunteer: Amr Elsadr * Geographic Regions WG As the effort is wrapping up, Cheryl Langdon-Orr volunteered to keep the Council up to date as she will take over the leadership for this group. * CWG on a Framework for CWG Principles (co-chair position) - volunteer: John Berard (John has volunteered to stay on as the GNSO Co-Chair for this effort) * CWG to develop a framework for the use of country and territory names as TLDs (co-chair position) volunteer: none to date * GNSO Council liaison to the ccNSO volunteer: Thomas Rickert
