John,_______________________________________________I’d be open to taking this on and serving as the GNSO Council liaison to the Latin Script Diacritics PDP for the remainder of the process, if helpful. I’ve been quite involved in IDN issues during my time in the ICANN environment.
Happy to answer any questions or provide additional context if needed.

We would like to request a Councilor to volunteer to serve as the Latin Diacritics PDP liaison for the remainder of the PDP. For your reference the role description for PDP liaisons can be found here:https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/gnso-liaison-wg-28sep21-en.pdf.We would especially like to highlight this opportunity for new Councilors as the PDP is moving along ahead of schedule thanks to strong PDP leadership with its Initial Report due out for Public Comment in the coming weeks. This would be a great opportunity to understand the PDP process and ease into the role as PDP liaison, no knowledge or experience in the topic of Latin diacritics, linguistics, or internationalized domain names (IDNs) is required. For more information on the Latin Script Diacritics PDP, please reference the wiki page here: https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/EwDVBg.Please indicate your interest in serving as GNSO Council liaison to the Latin Script Diacritics PDP WG via the Council mailing list.
