Thanks for that clarification, Marika.

For my own information, once the call does go out by no later than March 30^th, how much time generally transpires between it and the initial organizational meeting of the WG?

Very best,

Philip

Dear Phil, all,

The timeline in the motion related to when the call for volunteers would be initiated not the duration of the call for volunteers, i.e. the call for volunteers should go out no later than 21 days after the adoption of the motion. I do anticipate that the call for volunteers will go out well before the 21-day deadline and of course, we’ll make sure that sufficient opportunity is provided to interested parties to sign up before the first meeting is scheduled.

Best regards,

Marika

Subject: [council] Call for Volunteers for RPM/UDRP WG?

Fellow Councilors and staff:

As GNSO Liaison to and Interim Chair for this new WG, may I inquire when the Call for Volunteers will be sent out? In Marrakech we extended the usual 14-day period to 21 days, but that was 5 days ago.

This will be a highly complex 2-pahse PDP that I expect to consume at least 2-3 years, so we want to amass a group of knowledgeable and dedicated volunteers who understand the time commitment that accompanies engagement with this effort. So it would be best to cast the net as early and wide as possible.

Great to see all of you last week.

All my best,

Philip

In Brief

During the face-to-face Council Meeting at ICANN55, the GNSO Council voted – with one opposing vote – to adopt the Charter of the recently initiated PDP to Review all Rights Protections Mechanisms in all generic top-level domains. A call for volunteers will be send out to all GNSO Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies within the next two weeks; the same call will also go out to all of ICANN’s Supporting Organisations and Advisory Committees.
