Hi, If we have a GNSO Wrap-Up session in Hyderabad (not sure we will) where we have previously settled liaisons to various groups chartered by the Council, then incoming councillors will be able to step up, right? They should be seated Councillors at that point. Thanks. Amr

Hi James,
I wonder whether we shouldn’t include incoming councillors here. E.g. our constituency is just in the election process for council members which could last until 06 Sep. Maybe others are doing similar. At our call on 01 Sep we could ask about the council membership status after the AGM and then move ahead accordingly.
Best regards
Wolf-Ulrich

Council Colleagues –
With the Jennifer Gore’s recent departure from the Council, along with the creation of the Translation & Transliteration IRT, we need to fill several vacant Council liaison roles, specifically:
· Translation & Transliteration of gTLD Contact Data PDP IRT · IRTP-C PDP IRT · IRTP-D PDP IRT
Note that in relation to these last two, the effective date for implementation of the policy has already been announced (1 DEC 2016) and no further IRT meetings are expected, so this role wouldn’t take up too much time.
For the T&T IRT, the IRT has recently commenced its deliberations following the adoption of the PDP recommendations by the ICANN Board. Note that under the new IRT Principles & Guidelines (https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/irt-principles-guidelines-23aug1... <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/irt-principles-guidelines-23aug1...>) , the liaison is expected to relay any concerns or questions from the IRT that need to be addressed by the GNSO Council.
Finally, a liaison is requested for the newly created:
· GNSO Review Working Group
If you are interested in volunteering for any of these liaison roles, please respond on the mailing list. Ideally we would confirm new appointments on our upcoming GNSO Council call on Thursday ( 1 SEP).
Thank you—
J.
