Dear members,
I would like to bring to your attention that this opportunity is still open, since we didn't receive any applications when I sent the call out in April. Whilst the working group started their work on Friday, 14 May 2021, there is still an opportunity for us to appoint members to the policy working group before they go too far out with the work.
In the meantime, I have signed myself up as an observer since the charter of the group requires that "*in the event a GNSO SG/C or SO/AC is unable to nominate a member, at least one observer (defined below) should be responsible for keeping their respective group informed of milestones and potential recommendations that may affect the group*". Especially considering the potential impact of this PDP and any change to the transfer policy to non-commercial users.
Regards, Tomslin

Dear members,
Some of you might be aware of the recently launched Transfer Policy PDP, intended to review key aspects relating to inter-registrar and inter-registrant domain name transfers like the auth code, sometimes referred to as the “keys” to a domain name, change of registrant requirements and Form of Authorization requirements, including compliance to data privacy laws.
The GNSO Council has asked that we identify up to 2 members and 2 alternates to participate in this Working Group.

Your application should include all relevant details to demonstrate your experience with regards to applicant selection and evaluation processes, an updated statement of interest (SOI), and any other relevant information for the NCSG Policy Committee’s consideration.
