I would assume that we would use the same process we used for the ATRT 1, ATRT 
2 and the Whois RT, right?

Dear all:

 

Please pardon the interruption, but I am wondering how the CCT-RT will be 
handled at the Council level.  More specifically, how does the Council 
anticipate putting forward endorsements according to SG candidates?

 

Thank you,

 

Brian

    Affirmation of Commitment Reviews Competition, Consumer Trust and Consumer 
Choice Review Team (CCT-RT) | Call for Volunteer Members: Representing ICANN 
Advisory Committees and Supporting Organizations; and Serving as Independent 
Experts
    16 August 2013

    Volunteer applications due by 1 October 2013

    Overview
    In line with the Affirmation of Commitments (AoC) requirements, and as 
directed by the ICANN Board, ICANN invites interested individuals to apply for 
volunteer Review Team Member positions – either in representation of a 
Supporting Organization or Advisory Committee, or as an Independent Expert – to 
serve on the Competition, Consumer Trust and Consumer Choice Review Team 
(CCT-RT). The Review Team will work in two phases:

    ?         Phase One will occur as soon as the Review Team is appointed, and 
involves evaluating various metrics to be collected by ICANN as proposed by the 
GNSO Council, ALAC, and others, as appropriate, and developing recommendations 
for the set of metrics to be collected by ICANN in preparation for the upcoming 
review of the New gTLDs, as described in Phase Two.

    ?         Phase Two will occur after new gTLDs have been in operation for 
one year, and involves examining data to assess the extent to which the 
introduction or expansion of gTLDs has promoted competition, consumer trust, 
and consumer choice. Additionally, the Review Team will evaluate the 
effectiveness of the application and evaluation process, as well as the 
safeguards put in place by ICANN to mitigate issues involved in the 
introduction or expansion of new gTLDs.

    ?         Once the proposed metrics are delivered to the Board at the 
conclusion of Phase One, the Review Team's work will be suspended until the new 
gTLDs have been in operation for one year. In the interim, ICANN will develop 
the systems and collect the metrics approved through this process.

    ?         The composition of the Review Team will be confirmed at the start 
of Phase Two, but is expected to comprise the same members from Phase One. 
Because of the phased approach and the extended duration of the work for this 
review, Review Team members may be replaced as appropriate.

    Candidatures are to be submitted to rtcandidatures@xxxxxxxxx by 1 October 
2013 – 23:59 UTC.

and the availability of the data needed to perform the review, these dates are 
estimates.
