[council] Volunteers for Front Running drafting group

["GNSO.SECRETARIAT@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <gnso.secretariat@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All,

Reminder:

The GNSO Council resolved, on 8 May 2008, to create a Front Running 
drafting team  to look at questions such as:
- How is the problem defined?
- How prevalent is the problem?
- Will the measures relating to domain tasting affect front running?
- Are there rules within the RAA that can be used?
The goal is to bring a recommendation to the council on whether to
request an Issues report or more extensive research effort and to define
the terms of the report.
This team should bring its report by 7 June 2008 in time for
deliberations in Paris or sooner if possible.
Team is open to constituency members. Liaisons are invited to participate

A mailing list has been created
Front running drafting team
<gnso-fr-dt@xxxxxxxxx>

with public archives:
http://forum.icann.org/lists/gnso-fr-dt/

There is also a WIKI space available for the drafting group at:
https://st.icann.org/gnso-council/index.cgi?front_running

Background:
The ALAC submitted a letter to the ICANN Board requesting it 'to
establish a temporary narrowly-tailored policy as a stopgap until such
time as the relevant policy-recommending ICANN Supporting Organisations
can provide a comprehensive consensus policy solution'
<http://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/council/msg04857.html >
The ICANN Board's disposition was that
<http://www.icann.org/minutes/prelim-report-27mar08.htm > "The Chair
determined that emergency action is not required today but the matter
will be referred to the GNSO for additional information or policy
development if necessary, but not an emergency action."

Please let me know the constituency members who have volunteered to be
on the drafting team, so that they can be subscribed to the mailing list.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks so very much!

Glen
