+100 for J. Scott ☺ (just kidding) Seriously, having worked with J. Scott since the infancy of the IPC, through the Santiago Chile ICANN meeting from which the creation of the UDRP commenced, and as the chair of the IRT, I can say I have come across few people in the ICANN world like J. Scott that come to each issue first and foremost fully educated about all sides of the issue, and with an open mind and an eye toward achieving consensus. So happy he is willing to lead us on this important next stage of RPMs. Cordially, Caroline G. Chicoine Fredrikson & Byron, P.A.

Chair Nomination/s
by Petter Rindforth April 11, 2016

April 11, 2016

Dear WG members, I look forward to work with you all with our WG’s indeed interesting and important topics! Following the nomination procedure, I also note that we have two very experienced and good candidates. Considering the complexity of our work, the need to have efficient WG meetings as well as to ensure that we all also participate between our meeting to come up with suggestions and conclusions meeting the official deadlines, I think it is a good idea to have two co-chairs. Therefore, I hereby nominate/support Phil Corwing and J Scott Evans as these two Co-chairs. I also think it would be practical to have 2 Sub-chairs, to assist the Co-chairs in the work, for example to administrate possible sub-groups on special topics. If the WG agrees of my suggestion of Sub-chairs, I hereby announce my interest to serve as one of them. I am the Managing partner of Fenix Legal KB, based in Sweden. Some of my WG topic related experiences are: Sub Chair, IGO-INGO Access to Curative Rights Protection Mechanisms Working Group since 2014;Arbitrator (“Panelist”) for: the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center in UDRP cases since 2000, the National Arbitration Forum (NAF) since 2001, the Swedish Society for Internet Infrastructure (IIS) since 2003 and the Czech Arbitration Court since 2005,appointed by WIPO as Premium Name Expert for .mobi in 2006, NAF Panelist for .xxx RES and CEDRP 2011, WIPO Legal Rights Objection Expert 2012, NAF URS Examiner 2013, WIPO TM PDDRP Panelist 2013, NAF PDDRP Panelist 2013, NAF RRDRP Panelist 2013; Member of the INTA Internet Committee; Special Reporter Domain Names of the Fédération Internationale des Conseils en Propriété Industrielle (FICPI); main author of the Swedish domain name regulations for IIS/.SE; member of the GNSO Council 2012 – 2014 (representing IPC).

Need to Complete and Post SOIs ASAP
by Phil Corwin April 11, 2016

April 11, 2016

Dear WG Members: I have been alerted by our excellent and hardworking ICANN support staff that many of those who have joined this RPM WG as members have yet to file their Statement of Interest, and have also failed to respond to reminders sent by staff. Filing an SOI is not an option but a requirement. Those who fail to do so will not be permitted to join our meetings/conference calls and will essentially be relegated to observer status. Therefore, if you have not yet filed your SOI please take a few minutes (and that's all it takes) and get it done so that you can participate in our first meeting on April 21st. Thanks and best regards, Philip Philip S. Corwin, Founding Principal Virtualaw LLC 1155 F Street, NW Suite 1050 Washington, DC 20004 202-559-8597/Direct 202-559-8750/Fax 202-255-6172/Cell Twitter: @VlawDC "Luck is the residue of design" -- Branch Rickey

Question about Council liaison role
by Mary Wong April 9, 2016

April 9, 2016

Dear Paul and everyone, In addition to serving as the main line of communication with the GNSO Council as the manager of the Policy Development Process, the Council liaison’s role is further described in the WG Guidelines as follows: "The role of the Liaison consists of reporting to the [Chartering Organization] on a regular basis on the progress of the Working Group; assisting the Chair as required with his/her knowledge of WG processes and practices; taking back to the CO any questions or queries the WG might have in relation to its charter and mission; and, assisting or intervening when the WG faces challenges or problems. The liaison is expected to fulfill the liaison role in neutral manner, monitor the discussions of the Working Group and assist and inform the Chair and the WG as required.” The liaison also may be called upon to assist in the event that WG members disagree with the Chair’s designation of consensus levels, and as a path of escalation with and to the GNSO Council. In light of this framework, what Phil is proposing to do should he become one of the WG’s leaders would, in the staff view, be in line with the WG Guidelines. In addition, WG members should know that this is not the first time that a Council liaison/interim Chair has given up the liaison position upon appointment to a PDP WG’s leadership team. I hope this helps.

As Phil has mentioned, there are several preparatory matters that we request you attend to, prior to our first meeting on 21 April: 1. Review the Background Materials to familiarize yourself with the context for our work: https://community.icann.org/x/4SWAAw<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_x_…>. * These are the documents on which our Working Group Charter – which is essentially the authoritative document that sets out the full scope of this Policy Development Process – is based. As such, we recommend that you also review the Charter, which can be found here:https://community.icann.org/x/2CWAAw<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_x_…>. 2. Consider the recommendation to have two or more co- or vice-chairs, and consider also nominating someone for a chair/co-chair/vice-chair position. * Phil has already noted the reasons for either having a chair, assisted by one or more vice-chairs, or having several co-chairs for this Working Group. Where nominations are concerned, you may find it helpful to consider nominating a person(s) who you believe has the experience and skills to manage a large Working Group that will be working on complex (and possibly contentious) issues in ICANN’s multi-stakeholder bottom-up policy environment. To add to Phil’s notes, including the importance of a neutral Chair, the GNSO’s Working Group Guidelines provide that the purpose of a Chair is to manage the entire Working Group process (e.g. call meetings, preside over deliberations, and ultimately designate the appropriate consensus levels attained by all of the Groups final recommendations). A Chair is also expected to continually assess whether the Working Group has sufficiently broad representation and enforce ICANN’s Expected Standards of Behavior. If you would like to nominate (including self-nominate) a Working Group member for a chair, co-chair or vice-chair position, please do so via email to this mailing list prior to the 21 April meeting. This will allow the Working Group to discuss and hopefully select its leadership at or shortly following that meeting, which would in turn facilitate the work of the group. Thanks and cheers Mary Mary Wong Senior Policy Director Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Email: mary.wong(a)icann.org<mailto:mary.wong@icann.org> Telephone: +1-603-5744889 From: <gnso-rpm-wg-bounces(a)icann.org<mailto:gnso-rpm-wg-bounces@icann.org>> on behalf of Phil Corwin via gnso-rpm-wg <gnso-rpm-wg(a)icann.org<mailto:gnso-rpm-wg@icann.org>> Reply-To: Phil Corwin <psc(a)vlaw-dc.com<mailto:psc@vlaw-dc.com>> Date: Monday, April 4, 2016 at 19:02 To: "gnso-rpm-wg(a)icann.org<mailto:gnso-rpm-wg@icann.org>" <gnso-rpm-wg(a)icann.org<mailto:gnso-rpm-wg@icann.org>> Subject: [gnso-rpm-wg] Mark Your Calendars: First organizational call for RPM WG set for April 21 Dear Members of the RPM Review WG: As Interim Chair, I am pleased to announce that our initial WG organizational call has been scheduled for 1500-1600 UTC on Thursday, April 21st. You will be receiving a calendar invitation as the date draws closer, along with Adobe Chat and dial-in information. Please note that this date and time is not indicative of the scheduling of future WG calls. So far, 113 individuals have signed up to be Members of this WG, and their domiciles are broadly distributed around the globe. Therefore, it is likely that the WG will adopt a staggered, rotating meeting schedule to more evenly distribute the inconvenience of calls scheduled outside of normal working hours. In preparation for the initial call, I invite you to review background materials that are being posted to the WG’s wiki space, which can be found at https://community.icann.org/x/4SWAAw<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_x_…>. A proposed agenda for the meeting will be posted in closer proximity to April 21. Given the size of the WG, the complexity of the issues it will address, and the divergent views and interests raised by some of those issues, it is possible that the administrative task of managing its workflow will be performed by a Chair and several Vice-Chairs, or by several coequal Co-chairs. In this regard -- and while I hope to have your support to serve in one of those leadership positions going forward -- other WG members should start to consider whether they also wish to serve in a management leader role. Chairs (of whatever title) should expect to be involved in discussions of WG issue management among themselves and with Policy support staff that are in addition to the regularly scheduled WG calls, so there is an extra time commitment involved. While Chairs may step out of their official roles and advocate specific positions, their management of the WG’s effort must be neutral and even-handed. Finally, and again given the large number of volunteers who are willing to contribute to this effort, I request that all WG members refrain from posting substantive comments and materials to the email list at this time and confine their postings between now and April 21 to questions and comments regarding our initial organizational efforts. Thank you and best regards, Philip S. Corwin Interim Chair Philip S. Corwin, Founding Principal Virtualaw LLC 1155 F Street, NW Suite 1050 Washington, DC 20004 202-559-8597/Direct 202-559-8750/Fax 202-255-6172/Cell Twitter: @VlawDC "Luck is the residue of design" -- Branch Rickey ________________________________ No virus found in this message.

Administrative note - mailing list issues
by Mary Wong April 8, 2016

April 8, 2016

Hello again everybody, It’s come to our attention that several members have sent emails to the list that have not gone through. We are sorry for the inconvenience and any confusion this problem may have caused. We have raised the issue with our IT Department, and received the following information – due to heightened concerns over phishing, new security measures have been added to the various mailing lists. These do not cause issues for all subscribers but affect some only. Apparently, whether or not you are affected depends on your mailing set up and if you are using a Mac or a PC. We are not able to offer a complete “fix” right now, as that would compromise security levels. However a work around is being considered. Policy staff is working with our IT and Security teams to try to find a way to help as soon as possible. Here is how you can help: If you do not see your email on the public mailing list (but had sent it to the full Working Group), please email gnso-secs(a)icann.org with details of your email set up and type of computer so that we have as much information as possible for our IT colleagues. Thanks and cheers Mary Mary Wong Senior Policy Director Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Email: mary.wong(a)icann.org Telephone: +1-603-5744889

More information about the role, expectations and skills required of WG Chair(s)
by Mary Wong April 8, 2016

April 8, 2016

Dear all, As several WG members have enquired about what it means to be a WG Chair/co-chair/vice-chair (such as the skill sets required, amount of ICANN knowledge and time commitment), I hope that everyone will find the information that follows helpful. The Working Group Guidelines spell out the responsibility of the Chair(s) as being to call meetings, preside over deliberations, report results to the group’s Chartering Organization, and generally manage the process so that all participants have the opportunity to contribute. In addition, the Guidelines allow for the appointment of co- or vice-chairs to facilitate the Chair’s work by "ensuring continuity in case of the Chair’s absence, sharing of workload, and allowing the Chair to become engaged in a particular debate." In terms of the actual skill sets and expertise that is desirable in the Chair(s), this excerpt from the Guidelines may also be informative: 6.1.3 Purpose, Importance, and Expectations of the Chair “ … An experienced Chair with strong leadership and facilitation skills will be a key ingredient of a successful outcome. He or she should be able to distinguish between participants who offer genuine reasons for dissent and those who raise issues in an effort to block progress. The Chair should have the authority to enforce agreed upon rules applicable to anyone trying to disrupt discussions and be able to exclude individuals in certain cases, provided an avenue of appeal is available … The Chair is expected to assume a neutral role, refrain from promoting a specific agenda, and ensure fair treatment of all opinions and objectivity in identifying areas of agreement. This does not mean that a Chair experienced in the subject manner cannot express an opinion, but he or she should be explicit about the fact that a personal opinion or view is being stated, instead of a ‘ruling of the chair.’ However, a Chair should not become an advocate for any specific position. The appointment of co-chairs could be considered and is encouraged as a way to share the burden, provide continuity in case of absence of the Chair as well as allowing group leaders to rotate their participation in the discussion …. Ideally, a Chair should have sufficient and substantive process expertise, possess leadership skills and be skilled in consensus building.” These Guidelines are reflected in the attached document, which is a summary based on the Guidelines and past experiences from other WGs. This WG can, of course, set its own additional criteria for its leadership team. As such, staff with the support of Phil, our interim chair, urges all members of this WG, especially those who have not previously participated in a WG or who may have an interest in a leadership post, to review http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/summary-gnso-wg-guidelines-06apr11-en.pdf and http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/annex-1-gnso-wg-guidelines-07apr11-en.pdf to understand the Guidelines within which we will conduct our work.

Re: [gnso-rpm-wg] Chair Nomination
by Greg Shatan April 8, 2016

April 8, 2016

I enthusiastically +1 J Scott's nomination and the second for it. I served under J Scott when he co-Chaired the Policy & Implementation Working Group. He was an experienced, able, committed and fair Chair and he worked seamlessly with his co-Chair Chuck Gomes. J Scott and Chuck brought us in "on time and under budget," while maintaining an exceptional amount of cameraderie. While not my first experience with J Scott, it is indicative of reasons for my enthusiasm. Greg [image: http://hilweb1/images/signature.jpg] *Gregory S.
