All, Please note the action item in this announcement as follows: · Communities represented in the Coordination Group are urged to launch their internal processes to select their representatives, per the number of seats allocated. · Names of selectees should be provided no later than 23:59 UTC on 2 July 2014 through <https://forms.icann.org/en/icg> a submission form and will be made publicly available online. · Communities are encouraged to make their final selections by the end of the ICANN 50 meeting in London (22-26 June 2014). · The Coordination Group will meet in mid-July, tentatively on 16-18 July, to finalize its modes of operation, working methods and begin its work. · To ensure full transparency, the Coordination Group will hold open meetings accessible to all global stakeholders; relevant transcripts and recordings will be posted on the website. The GNSO is being offered 3 seats on the coordination group from “non-registry representation”. https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/process-next-steps-2014-06-06-en If this is to be one seat per SG (other than the Registries), then it seems clear that this should be up to the SGs to select their respective representatives to be seated as members in the co-ordination group. I expect that we will discuss this under the section on NTIA Transition & ICANN Accountability on Sunday and look forward to doing so. In the meantime, any input on this topic?. Thanks, Jonathan N.B.

The document reflects the multitude of views expressed in different fora and establishes the creation of a Coordination Group and its composition. It also, among other things, calls on the respective community members represented in the Coordinating Group to launch their internal processes to select their representative members no later than 23:59 UTC on 2 July 2014, per the number of seats allocated. <https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/process-next-steps-2014-06-06-en> Click here to navigate to the document >> Glen de Saint Géry GNSO Secretariat gnso.secretariat@gnso.icann.org http://gnso.icann.org
