Hi all, Please see the attached request from ICANN for community input on two membership appointment issues currently facing the IANA Naming Functions Review Team – one related to a geographical diversity requirement, and the other a ccTLD-facing representation concern. Both issues are in play due to the new ICANN bylaws language and requirements related to the IFRT, so please review and advise if your SGs and Cs have views on a reasonable path forward. Thanks in advance.
