RE: [council] Nominations for IRT Participants

["Rosette, Kristina" <krosette@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Bill,
 
Unfortunately, extending the deadline is simply not possible given the
deadlines provided by the Board in the resolution and the work that
needs to be done.  Moreover, a large number of people from almost every
constituency and some of the ACs had already contacted IPC members about
participating and had been provided similar information to that set
forth below.  I posted the message below in an effort to provide the
information for dissemination to those who had not already contacted IPC
members.  As for the Board's intent, I believe the language of the
resolution speaks for itself.

        Hi Kristina, 

        Thanks for this information, which I've just passed on to NCUC.
However, I would strongly suggest that we extend the deadline to Monday
or Tuesday.  Notification at 11pm on the 11th of a 13th noon deadline is
a very unworkable turnaround time if we are serious about getting strong
applicants and engagement from all constituencies, as the board intends.
Some people might not be reading mail today or be able to determine so
quickly whether the workload fits with their schedule etc.

        Thanks,

        Bill

                Because we've received a number of inquiries about
nominations for IRT participants, we thought it would be helpful to
provide the information below.

                Nominations for IRT participants should be sent to Steve
Metalitz (IPC President), Ute, Cyril or me.  Steve's email address is
not on the Council page or the IPC home page so please contact me
off-list if you would like it. 

                The nominations must include: 

                1.  The full name and contact information of the nominee
(including the name of her/his employer and title); 
                2.  The ICANN Geographic Region(s) in which the nominee
is a citizen and is a resident; 
                3.  Identification of the nominee's knowledge,
experience, and expertise in the fields of trademark, consumer
protection, or competition law, and the interplay of trademarks and the
domain name system;

                4.  Identification of any financial ownership or senior
management/leadership interest of the nominee in registries, registrars
or other entities that are stakeholders or interested parties in ICANN
or any entity with which ICANN has a transaction, contract, or other
arrangement; 

                5.  State if the nominee would be representing any other
party or person through her/his IRT participation and, if so, identify
that party or person; and

                6.  State if the nominee submitted public comments on
the first draft of the DAG that provided proposed solutions to the
trademark issues and, if so, attach a copy of those comments.

                We must receive all nominations not later than Friday,
13 March, at noon EDT.  Because of the deadlines set forth by the Board
in the resolution, it will be exceedingly difficult to consider any
nominations submitted after that point.  Also, based on very preliminary
time lines, IRT participants should expect to spend at least 15 full
business days (excluding travel time) in the next two months on the
team's work.

                Kristina
