re: [council] ISPCP Endorsement Candidates for CCT-RT

["Edward Morris" <egmorris1@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Wolf-Ulrich,

 Can I assume these three names are being submitted on behalf of the entire 
Commercial Stakeholder Group? My understanding is that in accordance with the 
GNSO governing structure each SG, not Constituency,  was to nominate between 
0-3 applicants.

 We are still deliberating our selections amongst many fine applicants from the 
NonCommercial Stakeholders Group and look forward to communicating our decision 
to everyone prior to tomorrow's meeting.

 Best,

 Ed Morris

Process - DUE 17 DECEMBER



Hi folks -



Just a reminder to please take a look at the revised CCT-RT endorsement process 
(attached), and let me know if you have any questions or concerns.  Ideally, we 
should get this finalized in the next day or so to allow the SGs to meet & 
discuss their slate of candidates seeking endorsement.  FOr those on the go, 
the key points are: (a) increasing the GNSO delegation to 8-10, and (b) tasking 
each SG to submit 0-2 candidates for endorsement.



Marika has reached out to her counterpart(s) and asked each candidate to 
respond to the GNSO-specific questions, with candidates given until 7 DEC to 
respond.

Thank you,



J.

Colleagues -



Getting caught up on on this thread (in reverse order!) and agree with key 
points raised by Paul, Wolf & Volker.   I concur with Wolf-Ulrich that we 
should shorten the list to preserve the weight & value of GNSO endorsement, but 
to Paul's point, having a slate of 4 candidates may have covered previous RTs, 
but will not provide sufficient coverage/balance here, as the CCT-RT 
disproportionately results from, and affects, the GNSO Community.  Off the 
cuff, the right number of candidates is probably 8-10, which would make this RT 
a bit larger than usual, with the GNSO delegation its largest component.



I agree with Marika's suggestion to reach out to candidates seeking GNSO 
endorsement and ask them to specifically address the GNSO criteria, and that we 
also ask our Liaisons to provide some insights on how the ALAC and ccNSO are 
selecting their candidates.



I think the draft process and timeline that Wolf posted on 21 NOV (attached 
here) is generally hitting the right deliverables, but I think we need an extra 
couple of days to to finalize the process and allow candidates to respond to 
Marika's request.  We can then proceed to ask the SGs for their endorsed 
candidates.



With that in mind, please take a look at the draft process (attached),  and 
respond as soon as possible (but definitively by Monday 30 NOV) if they have 
any concerns/objections/edits?



Thanks-



J.

I understand the concerns, in particular since no limit has been preset with 
respect to the review team membership.



Can our liaisons - Olivier for ALAC and Patrick for ccNSO - disclose how their 
respective SO is dealing with the question? From the published list of 
applications - maybe it's not the most recent one - I count 9 ALAC, 3 ccNSO, 3 
GAC, 27 GNSO and 31 Independent. So "dozens" could just come from the GNSO.

Limitation seems to me necessary to let the GNSO appear being credible. And we 
should avoid discussions between our groups about which applicant may be more 
appropriate in comparison to others. The SGs/constituencies should be given the 
right to handle this.

Best regards

Wolf-Ulrich

I share this concern.  This is a very important Review, covering a range of 
topics.  I don't see that many candidates who have expertise in all required 
areas, which is not surprising.  We need to make sure we have enough people, to 
ensure balance across a range of factors, and that the representation of 
interests is fair.  Seems more like 2 per SG to me.

Thanks Volker.  Do we have any information on how many other AC's and SO's are 
endorsing?  What I don't want to see happen is that we put up 4 everyone else 
puts up dozens and we end up with 1 in the final result.  Without information 
on how many everyone else may endorse, I don't see how we can be confident that 
our self-limitation will have its intended affect.  Do we know what everyone 
else is doing?



Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

I think if we cast too broad a net and recommend too many candidates, the 
recommendation of the council will lose its punch. By focussing on a limited 
number of candidates, we truly endorse them.

Having one candidate from each SG makes sense as it ensures all SGs are 
represented.

Best,

Volker

Thanks Wolf-Ulrich.  I'd like to understand why we would limit our nominations 
to just one applicant per Stakeholder group for a total of 4 from the GNSO.  
Are the other SOs and ACs adopting the same limitations?  Is this an ICANN 
requirement?  It seems to me that the GNSO will be disproportionately affected 
by the outcomes of the CCT Review, so unless self-limiting is required, I guess 
I don't see the upside and would prefer to endorse as many candidates as 
possible and just have the various groups lobby one level up for their people.  
Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this!



Best,

Paul

Hi James,



by picking this up: could you please make reference to my email from 21 Nov 
with respect to the process? As time is short - and Thanksgiving is close - I 
wonder whether the council agrees to the process suggested.



I've already alerted the CSG and am confident to receive some input.

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 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 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 lists the 
criteria that we were looking for.  The composition should be based on several 
factors, including:



<!--[if !supportLists]-->·         <!--[endif]-->Subject matter expertise -

<!--[if !supportLists]-->o   <!--[endif]-->New gTLD application 
process/objections

<!--[if !supportLists]-->o   <!--[endif]-->Intellectual Property

<!--[if !supportLists]-->o   <!--[endif]-->Security & Malicious Abuse of the DNS

<!--[if !supportLists]-->o   <!--[endif]-->Competition Issues

<!--[if !supportLists]-->o   <!--[endif]-->Consumer Protection

<!--[if !supportLists]-->o   <!--[endif]-->Public Policy Concerns

<!--[if !supportLists]-->·         <!--[endif]-->Regional representation
