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.

Members interested in volunteering for this PDP should please send their application to the Chair of the NCSG Policy Committee ( mesumbeslin@gmail.com), copy (bruna.mrtns@gmail.com) and ( maryam.bakoshi@icann.org) by 20th April 2021.

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. Also consider the below criteria that the GNSO Council considers to be important for this PDP:

● Knowledge of Transfer Policy issues, background and current work status; ● Commitment to participating in Working Group meetings on a regular and ongoing basis; ● Ability to create factual, relevant and easily understandable messages, and able to succinctly deliver them to the Working Group; ● Ability to deliver a point constructively and concisely; ● Familiarity with the following sections of the Working Group Guidelines: ○ Section 4.1 Session Planning – General Meeting Logistics ○ Section 4.2 Communication/Collaboration Tools ● Effective oral, written, and interpersonal communication skills (in simple, comprehensible English); ● Research skills with the ability to discern factual, factually relevant, and persuasive details and sources; ● Commitment to manage a diverse workload, while collaborating with a Working Group of individuals with different backgrounds and interests in driving objectives; ● In depth knowledge of Working Group discussions, actions taken at meetings, and deliverables; ● Understanding of the perspectives and interests of the members’ own stakeholder group or constituency; ● Project management skills in driving the completion of SG/C statements in a timely manner. All members are required to commit from the outset of the work effort to a Statement of Participation.

For further information, please consult the attached letter.

Best regards, Tomslin
