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. 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.

Dear Working Group members, Following up on Phil’s (our interim Chair and GNSO Council liaison) note below, we’d like to continue to welcome all participants to our Working Group, especially those that may have signed up most recently. 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. * 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. 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 Philip / Mary / WG Team, I would like to self-nominate for GNSO PDP cochair. In my work as a brand strategist, I come across interesting scenarios of companies trying to embrace the gtld space to protect their mark, (often too late). I have an interest in helping to develop fair policies for the issues noted in the final issue report.

I would like to nominate Phil Corwin as Chair of this PDP WG. I have known Phil for several years and worked closely with him in the Business Constituency since we are both GNSO councilors. He works hard, is very engaged and committed to all the work at ICANN. He has chaired the IGO/NGO working group and spent many hours working on multiple working groups. Phil’s experience with RPM’s would make him an excellent chair for this working group. I am hoping you will all consider him for Chair. Susan Kawaguchi Domain Name Manager Facebook Legal Dept.

Thanks Susan. Phil is obviously very knowledgeable about these issues, but he is already serving in the role of GNSO Council liaison to this WG. Since part of his job as liaison is to help the WG identify the WG's leadership, what is the process when the liaison is also nominated to chair? Mary, can you please let us know what staff thinks? Does Phil need to relinquish the liaison role, or is it OK for him to continue on in a duel role of liaison and candidate?

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_4SWAAw&d=CwMGaQ&c=5VD0RTtNlTh3ycd41b3MUw&r=gvEx8xF7ynrYQ7wShqEr-w&m=QGSTQjuzWhzhthcsRMnK39EcAMIWeFB1c35QKpXl85A&s=bUMChl3r9Vwvd5ZfsXPVXN6WFJUkNunO2X2HwPpA8dQ&e=>. * 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_2CWAAw&d=CwMGaQ&c=5VD0RTtNlTh3ycd41b3MUw&r=gvEx8xF7ynrYQ7wShqEr-w&m=QGSTQjuzWhzhthcsRMnK39EcAMIWeFB1c35QKpXl85A&s=dcg48lDq2fJPspsRRjnMM1EryvGfGlp5oVm_vbUtZSc&e=>. 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.

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_4SWAAw&d=CwMGaQ&c=5VD0RTtNlTh3ycd41b3MUw&r=gvEx8xF7ynrYQ7wShqEr-w&m=QGSTQjuzWhzhthcsRMnK39EcAMIWeFB1c35QKpXl85A&s=bUMChl3r9Vwvd5ZfsXPVXN6WFJUkNunO2X2HwPpA8dQ&e=>. 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.

Esteemed colleagues, With nearly two weeks before our first meeting and new people joining this group on a regular basis, I would recommend that we continue to accept nominations for the leadership positions of this new WG. Like J.Scott Evans, I served on the Final Drafting Team of the UDRP in 1999. With other friends in this WG, I served on Special Trademarks Initiative team (STI) that wrote the final versions of the Uniform Rapid Suspension and Trademark Clearinghouse adopted by GNSO Council and incorporated into the New gTLD Applicant Guidebook. Chuck Gomes, then Chair of the GNSO Council, wrote about the STI: “I have never been so impressed with the cooperative spirit of everyone on a team.” I have served on innumerable ICANN task forces, working groups and a review team. I am co-founder of ICANN's Noncommercial Users Constituency and a member of the Noncommercial Stakeholders Group. I also lead the Internet Law & Policy Group of Fletcher, Heald & Hildreth in Washington DC. I would be honored to represent this Working Group as chair for the important work ahead.

Hello everybody, This is certainly impressive! I can not ever remember such enthusiasm for a group that is still a few weeks away from its first meeting. My hat is off to my Council colleague Phil Corwin for his able and obviously inspiring stewardship of this group to date. I am so excited Kathy Kleiman has offered to step up to Chair this group. It saves me the trouble of having to draft her! There is no one I know of in the GNSO community with the depth of experience, both inside ICANN and externally, on the subject matter this working group will be considering than that which Kathy possesses. These are tricky issues. Kathy has been there from day one helping this community to develop rights protection mechanisms that are appropriate, fair and balanced. We are so lucky that she once again is willing to step up and lead this effort! A word about diversity. This working group will be considering issues that for many of us are the reasons we are involved with ICANN. Core issues. It will be a long and complex journey to its conclusion. We need a leadership for this WG that reflects the diversity of the GNSO, a balanced leadership that neither over-represents nor under-represents any stakeholder group or set of interests. I'd suggest that we might want to look at the example of the Next Gen RDS WG - like this one, a WG expected to be of long duration - where the leadership team reflects the GNSO itself and includes representation from each stakeholder group. Thanks again Kathy - your experienced leadership will benefit all of us in this working group! Kind Regards, Ed Morris ---------------------------------------- From: "David W.

Thank you Kathy for your interest in assuming a leadership role in this WG. This WG has an embarrassment of riches in the experience, knowledge, and dedication of its members. As Ed points out, there are a variety of ways in which WG members may choose to select and organize a leadership team. There can be a Chair and Vice Chairs, a number of Co-Chairs, and perhaps other potential structures. I will consult with staff to see whether some helpful guidance based on past leadership structures of other WGs (and recent CCWG efforts) can be provided to help guide the members on potential structures in advance of our initial April 21st meeting. There is also a substantial possibility that, given the breadth and complexity of the work before us as well as the need for efficient task management, the WG will at some point in this endeavor decide to establish sub-teams to focus on discrete issues and report back to the full WG on findings and recommendation. So additional leadership opportunities may open up as we proceed. From my personal point of view, the most important quality for whatever leadership team and structure is finally selected by this WG’s members is an ability to work in a collegial, coordinated, and mutually respectful manner that assures that all relevant points of view, facts, and policy considerations are taken into account in the course of our work. It is also useful to remember that while any form of WG Chair is permitted to express opinions of the issues before us (so long as it is clear that the viewpoint is a personal one), the primary role of Chairs is one of work management, and Chairs are specifically barred from being advocates for specific outcomes. As noted in the Guidelines for GNSO WGS http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/annex-1-gnso-wg-guidelines-07apr11-en.pdf : 6.1.3 Purpose, Importance, and Expectations of the Chair While open Working Groups may offer many benefits in terms of broad participation and support, it is equally important that inclusiveness does not compromise effectiveness. 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. In addition, the Chair should be able to ensure that anyone joining a Working Group after it has begun has reviewed all documents and mailing list postings and agrees not to reopen previously decided questions. However, if there is support from the Chair to reopen an issue in light of new information that is provided either by a new member or an existing member of the Working Group, this should be possible. 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. In addition, in certain circumstances the CO may decide that it must appoint a completely neutral and independent Chair who would not participate in the substance of the discussions. In such circumstances, the Chair would be appointed by the CO. Ideally, a Chair should have sufficient and substantive process expertise, possess leadership skills and be skilled in consensus building. The Chartering Organization, working with the Staff, might consider the use of a professional facilitator, in certain circumstances, to help a Chair ensure neutrality and promote consensus or to provide other capabilities and expertise.

Well said, and I couldn’t agree more. There aren’t very many within the GNSO who have the years of experience on both the subject matter of this PDP, as well as building consensus across stakeholders within the GNSO like Kathy. Thanks for stepping up, Kathy. Thanks again. Amr
+1 I think we should continue to accept nominations until the first meeting, to give everyone a fair chance to mull things over before deciding that they want and are able to take on the roles. Then, we can hold a vote for the co-chair positions among those who've been nominated (and also been seconded). We should let members select up 2 of the nominees, and the top 2 overall would become co-chairs. Afterwards, there can be a separate vote for 2 (or 3??) sub-chairs (which might include unsuccessful nominees for co-chairs, as well as anyone else who was nominated (and seconded) specifically to be a sub-chair).

Dear Working Group members,
Following up on Phil’s (our interim Chair and GNSO Council liaison) note below, we’d like to continue to welcome all participants to our Working Group, especially those that may have signed up most recently.
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.
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.
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

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.
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,

Dear all, I would also like to second Susan Kawaguchi´s nomination of Phil Corwin as chair of this PDP Working Group with enthusiam! I have also worked closely with Phil in the Business Constituency and thus have been following his tireless committed work and his remarkable contributions to both the BC and the GNSO Council, where he has a well respected and influential voice. Moreover, he has substantial expertise and experience on RPMs and all related issues relevant to this WG. Also, as this is a managerial role, I believe it is important to highlight that he has the organizational skills and the preparation needed for the task as well as the ability to identify common ground and facilitating consensus solutions, ensuring fair hearing of all views.

Hi, Happy to second this nomination pretty much for the reasons Susan mentioned (although I’m not a member of the Business Constituency). Apart from Phil’s experience with RPMs, I have known him to tackle his work admirably with a degree of seriousness and thoroughness that any GNSO working group should seek in its leadership. So a +1 from me. Thanks. Amr
