Subject: [Soac-infoalert] CCT Review Team Endorsement Process - DUE 17 DECEMBER

Dear SO/AC leaders,

We are pleased to report that we received 72 applications from individuals 
interested in serving on the next review team under the Affirmation of 
Commitments (AoC) that will examine the impact of new gTLDS in the areas of 
competition, consumer trust and consumer choice (CCT).  Before final selection 
of the CCT Review Team is completed by the ICANN CEO and the GAC Chair,  we are 
seeking endorsements from any SO/AC for those 
applicants<https://www.icann.org/resources/reviews/aoc/cct/applications> who 
have expressed an interest to serve as their representatives.

If you choose to endorse an applicant, please send your endorsements by email 
to reviews@xxxxxxxxx<mailto:reviews@xxxxxxxxx> by  the updated deadline of 17 
December at 23:59 UTC.

In order to help with the endorsement process, below are answers to some 
frequently asked questions:

Is there a set allocation for SO/AC representatives?  Under the AoC, there is 
no set allocation per SO/AC or per stakeholder group, nor is there a maximum 
for total size of the review team.

How Many Members Will be on the Review Team?  There is no set number of 
volunteers for the Review Team.  However, keep in mind that the review team 
should be comprised of members that collectively have  expertise covering the 
wide range of topics that are within the mandate of this review team.   Past 
AoC review teams were comprised of approximately 16 members.

What Were the Criteria for Applicants?  The call for 
volunteers<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/call-volunteers-cct-rt-2015-10-01-en>
 lists the criteria that we were looking for.  The composition should be based 
on several factors, including:


·         Subject matter expertise -

o   New gTLD application process/objections

o   Intellectual Property

o   Security & Malicious Abuse of the DNS

o   Competition Issues

o   Consumer Protection

o   Public Policy Concerns

o   Trust in the DNS

·         Representation across the interested SO/ACs

·         Diversity

·         Regional representation
