All, During the course of the past few CWG meetings, we have discussed the appointment of CCG Representatives from the Naming Community (see Attached). We now have a revised version of the appointment letter (also attached) As you will recall, we need three named representatives, one of whom will be a co-chair. There are no specific skill sets defined for the reps but discussions have centred around three areas of knowledge / expertise: 1. Familiarity with and understanding of the work of this CWG to date i.e. the CWG IANA Stewardship. 2. Specific familiarity with and understanding of the work of the CWG as it relates to the IANA intellectual property rights. 3. General intellectual property expertise / experience only required for the CCG Rep that will serve in the role as CCG Co-Chair. At the last meeting, we agreed that we could work with a temporary solution which would entail appointing the two CWG Co-chairs (Lise Fuhr & myself) as well as Greg Shatan (as CCG Co-Chair). If we do not receive nominations / volunteers, we will work with this solution until the next available opportunity to make a change, likely the next ICANN meeting. However, there were reservations expressed about the above and it was felt to be desirable to see if we could find alternative nominations / volunteers to the above, particularly with respect to replacing Lise & myself. Finally, my understanding is that we have agreed that the two CCG Reps (other than the c-chair) should derive one from each of the ccTLD and gTLD communities. There is no such stipulation with regard to the CCG Co-Chair. This is a call for nominations (or self-nominations) for individuals willing to serve as CCG Reps. If any nominees do have specific intellectual property experience (which may qualify them as a current or future CCG co-chair) that will be helpful to highlight. Therefore, in the nomination, please state: - Name - Affiliation to ccTLD OR gTLD community - Specific intellectual property experience (Yes or no) Please provide nominations to the CWG IANA mailing list by 23h59 UTC on Tuesday 20 September 2016. Thank-you. Jonathan On behalf of the co-chairs Lise Fuhr & Jonathan Robinson
