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. Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this! Best, Paul Paul D. McGrady Jr. Partner Chair, Trademark, Domain Names and Brand Enforcement Practice Winston & Strawn LLP 35 W.

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.
