Nominations to Date and Scheduling Next Call
by Grace Abuhamad Sept. 18, 2014

Sept. 18, 2014

Dear Public Experts, Management of nominations to date In order to assist with the volume of nominations, I've gone ahead and created a spreadsheet for you in Google Docs with data from nominations received such as name, bio, areas of expertise. I have sent you all invitations to access and edit the document. If you have not received an invitation or would like to use another email address, please let me know. If this spreadsheet is useful to you, I can content to input information there. If not, I can delete it immediately. So you know, I have not added or edited any information. I simply copy/paste what is sent in the nomination and applicable to the data point in the spreadsheet. The exception to this is that some nominations come with attachments. Since I cannot include the attachments, I've noted their existence in a column at the end. For the attachments and the original email, I suggest creating a shared file system either in Google Docs or Dropbox so that I can upload all the emails and attachments for your ease of access. Please let me know if this is something you are interested in. Of course, just like the spreadsheet, this folder would be shared only with you so as to maintain the privacy of the nominations. Scheduling the next call When would you like to schedule your next call? Next week? Please let me know and I will send out a Doodle poll for scheduling. Thank you, Grace

Re: [Public-Experts] question on extending the deadline for call for candidates
by Brian Cute Sept. 9, 2014

Sept. 9, 2014

Jeanette, Janis and Larry, I am copying you individually and the public-experts group email list for purposes of transparency. While this discussion about extending the deadline may seem like a simple administrative matter, our agreement is to conduct our activities on a "default open" basis unless there is a clear reason to conduct activities in closed session. I realized the prior emails had not been copied to the public-experts group list and wanted to address that matter. Below is a draft extension of the Call for Candidates from Grace for our consideration. I am fine with the extension and I have a question about the extension. As drafted, it would close the call for candidates on the same day the public comment period on the accountability process would close. Is anything substantive "lost" by closing the call on the same day the comments close? If so, closing the call beyond the close of the comment period, even if for a matter of a few days to fully consider any comments received late in the process, could make sense. What are your views? Thank you.

EXTENDED - Call for Candidates: Seeking Advisors to the ICANN Accountability & Governance Coordination Group In light of the 6 - 27 September <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-08-2014-09-05-en> public comment period<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-08-2014-09-05-en> on the Enhancing ICANN Accountability and Governance Process, the Public Experts Group has decided to extend its Call for Candidates<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2014-08-28-en>. The original due date of 10 September is now 27 September at 23:59 UTC, so as to align with the close of the public comment period. With the exception of date, all other elements of the Call for Candidates<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2014-08-28-en> remain the same. For more information on how to submit a nomination, please see here<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2014-08-28-en>. I can submit this as a new announcement so that the information is sent out through our announcement system (social media, email, etc), but I also suggest updating the actual Call with the new date and a message about the Extension at the top.
