Bladel Sent: Tuesday, December 01, 2015 3:31 PM To: GNSO Council List Subject: Fwd: [council] FW: [Soac-infoalert] CCT Review Team Endorsement Process - DUE 17 DECEMBER Hi folks - Just a reminder to please take a look at the revised CCT-RT endorsement process (attached), and let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Ideally, we should get this finalized in the next day or so to allow the SGs to meet & discuss their slate of candidates seeking endorsement. FOr those on the go, the key points are: (a) increasing the GNSO delegation to 8-10, and (b) tasking each SG to submit 0-2 candidates for endorsement. Marika has reached out to her counterpart(s) and asked each candidate to respond to the GNSO-specific questions, with candidates given until 7 DEC to respond.

I concur with Wolf-Ulrich that we should shorten the list to preserve the weight & value of GNSO endorsement, but to Paul’s point, having a slate of 4 candidates may have covered previous RTs, but will not provide sufficient coverage/balance here, as the CCT-RT disproportionately results from, and affects, the GNSO Community. Off the cuff, the right number of candidates is probably 8-10, which would make this RT a bit larger than usual, with the GNSO delegation its largest component. I agree with Marika’s suggestion to reach out to candidates seeking GNSO endorsement and ask them to specifically address the GNSO criteria, and that we also ask our Liaisons to provide some insights on how the ALAC and ccNSO are selecting their candidates. I think the draft process and timeline that Wolf posted on 21 NOV (attached here) is generally hitting the right deliverables, but I think we need an extra couple of days to to finalize the process and allow candidates to respond to Marika’s request. We can then proceed to ask the SGs for their endorsed candidates. With that in mind, please take a look at the draft process (attached), and respond as soon as possible (but definitively by Monday 30 NOV) if they have any concerns/objections/edits? Thanks— J.

Can our liaisons – Olivier for ALAC and Patrick for ccNSO – disclose how their respective SO is dealing with the question? From the published list of applications – maybe it’s not the most recent one - I count 9 ALAC, 3 ccNSO, 3 GAC, 27 GNSO and 31 Independent. So “dozens” could just come from the GNSO. Limitation seems to me necessary to let the GNSO appear being credible. And we should avoid discussions between our groups about which applicant may be more appropriate in comparison to others. The SGs/constituencies should be given the right to handle this.

This is a very important Review, covering a range of topics. I don't see that many candidates who have expertise in all required areas, which is not surprising. We need to make sure we have enough people, to ensure balance across a range of factors, and that the representation of interests is fair. Seems more like 2 per SG to me.

What I don’t want to see happen is that we put up 4 everyone else puts up dozens and we end up with 1 in the final result. Without information on how many everyone else may endorse, I don’t see how we can be confident that our self-limitation will have its intended affect. Do we know what everyone else is doing?

By focussing on a limited number of candidates, we truly endorse them. Having one candidate from each SG makes sense as it ensures all SGs are represented. Best, Volker Am 24.11.2015 um 15:44 schrieb McGrady, Paul D.: Thanks Wolf-Ulrich. I’d like to understand why we would limit our nominations to just one applicant per Stakeholder group for a total of 4 from the GNSO. Are the other SOs and ACs adopting the same limitations? Is this an ICANN requirement? It seems to me that the GNSO will be disproportionately affected by the outcomes of the CCT Review, so unless self-limiting is required, I guess I don’t see the upside and would prefer to endorse as many candidates as possible and just have the various groups lobby one level up for their people.

Before final selection of the CCT Review Team is completed by the ICANN CEO and the GAC Chair, we are seeking endorsements from any SO/AC for those applicants<https://www.icann.org/resources/reviews/aoc/cct/applications> who have expressed an interest to serve as their representatives. If you choose to endorse an applicant, please send your endorsements by email to reviews@icann.org<mailto:reviews@icann.org> by the updated deadline of 17 December at 23:59 UTC. In order to help with the endorsement process, below are answers to some frequently asked questions: Is there a set allocation for SO/AC representatives? Under the AoC, there is no set allocation per SO/AC or per stakeholder group, nor is there a maximum for total size of the review team. How Many Members Will be on the Review Team? There is no set number of volunteers for the Review Team. However, keep in mind that the review team should be comprised of members that collectively have expertise covering the wide range of topics that are within the mandate of this review team. Past AoC review teams were comprised of approximately 16 members. What Were the Criteria for Applicants? The call for volunteers<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/call-volunteers-cct-rt-2015-10-01-en> lists the criteria that we were looking for. The composition should be based on several factors, including: <!--[if !supportLists]-->· <!--[endif]-->Subject matter expertise – <!--[if !supportLists]-->o <!--[endif]-->New gTLD application process/objections <!--[if !supportLists]-->o <!--[endif]-->Intellectual Property <!--[if !supportLists]-->o <!--[endif]-->Security & Malicious Abuse of the DNS <!--[if !supportLists]-->o <!--[endif]-->Competition Issues <!--[if !supportLists]-->o <!--[endif]-->Consumer Protection <!--[if !supportLists]-->o <!--[endif]-->Public Policy Concerns <!--[if !supportLists]-->o <!--[endif]-->Trust in the DNS <!--[if !supportLists]-->· <!--[endif]-->Representation across the interested SO/ACs <!--[if !supportLists]-->· <!--[endif]-->Diversity <!--[if !supportLists]-->· <!--[endif]-->Regional representation For more information, please see: https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2015-11-16-en.
