Dear Council Members,
As discussed our last three Council meetings, we are currently seeking a volunteer for the
GNSO Council Liaison to the Transfer Policy Review PDP – Phase 1. Please find below further information on the role.
- Council Leadership’s preference is a
non-CPH councillor volunteer to fill this role because the current representative WG membership includes more CPH members than non-CPH members.
- Council Leadership’s preference is a volunteer who
will not term out in 2023.
- The liaison does not need to be technically or substantively knowledgeable on the topic of domain name transfers, but it is important for the liaison to familiarize himself/herself
with WG dynamics in the event any issues that require escalation to the GNSO Council occur during his/her tenure.
- Currently, the WG meets twice per week, and the meeting schedule is Tuesdays and Thursdays from 16:00 UTC – 17:30 UTC, with a 30-minute leadership call following these meetings. Following
its finalization of its Phase 1(a) final report, the WG will likely revert back to 1 call per week for 90 minutes + one 30-minute leadership call per week.
- The current plan, while subject to change, is for Phase 1 to finish in Dec 2023 and Phase 2 to finish in Dec 2025.
- For further information on the role of GNSO Council Liaison to GNSO WGs, please refer to the
role description.
Kindly,
