Dear all, Please note that the BC has named Steve Del Bianco as its representative to the Drafting Team, so staff will add his name to the list circulated previously (see below). Thanks and cheers Mary From: Mary Wong <mary.wong@icann.org> Date: Friday, July 29, 2016 at 16:59 To: "council@gnso.icann.org" <council@gnso.icann.org> Subject: Update on SG/C volunteers for the Drafting Team on new GNSO rights and obligations under the revised ICANN Bylaws Dear Councilors, On 30 June, the Council passed a resolution creating a new Drafting Team (DT) to work with staff to: (1) identify the GNSO’s new and additional rights, powers, obligations and responsibilities under the revised Bylaws; (2) develop and deliver a draft Implementation Plan to the Council by 30 September 2016; and (3) as necessary, develop new or propose modifications to existing procedures and structures to implement the revised Bylaws for the GNSO. The Council’s resolution further states that volunteers be those who “can demonstrate reasonable knowledge of or experience with the process of revising the ICANN Bylaws or GNSO Operating Procedures” and that the DT “shall reflect the current composition of the GNSO and as such, the GNSO Council may review the number of volunteers identified”: http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#20160630-2. Staff has received the following names from most SG/Cs. We expect to receive the name(s) of the BC representative(s) soon, and we understand that the NCSG Policy Committee is currently discussing which of their volunteers will constitute their final slate. In view of the Council’s discretion with regard to reviewing the DT’s numbers and composition, please feel free to send your comments to this list. We hope to begin working with the final slate of DT members shortly. gTLD Registries Stakeholder Group: · David Maher Registrars Stakeholder Group: · Darcy Southwell Business Constituency: TBD IPC: · Steve Metalitz ISPCPC: · Malcolm Hutty NCSG: · Edward Morris (also nominated by NCA Julf Helsingius) · Tapani Tarvainen · Farzaneh Bardii · Amr Elsadr · Matthew Shears · Wisdom Donkor · Sonigitu Ekpe · Pascal Bekono · Karel Douglas Thanks and cheers Mary Mary Wong Senior Policy Director Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Email: mary.wong@icann.org Telephone: +1-603-5744889
