A small correction, the Thick WHOIS IRT does already have a Council liaison,
namely Amr Elsadr who was appointed by the Council back in July 2014 to this
role. Apologies for the oversight.

Best regards,

Marika

Subject:  [council] Request for volunteers - Council Liaison to
Implementation Review Teams

Dear All,


With the adoption and implementation of the Policy & Implementation Working
Group recommendations and more specifically the Implementation Review Team
(IRT) principles and guidelines, the GNSO Council is expected to designate a
GNSO Council liaison to each IRT to ensure a direct link to the GNSO Council
if/when needed. To date, none of the IRTs in operation have a liaison and as
such the GNSO Council Leadership would like to call for volunteers with the
intent to confirm these appointments during the May meeting. According to
the project list, the following IRTs are currently in operation:
* IRTP Part C (near completion)
* Thick WHOIS IRT
* Protection of International Organisation Names in all gTLDs
* IRTP Part D


For further details on the current status of these IRTs, please review the
GNSO project list (see http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/project) and/or
https://www.icann.org/policy/implementation. For a description of the role
the liaison is expected to fulfil in the IRT, please see below.

 

If you are interested to volunteer for the role of liaison, please share
your interest with the list, indicating which IRT you are volunteering for.

 

Thanks,

 

Marika

 

>From the IRT Principles and Guidelines:
* In the event of disagreement between ICANN Staff and the IRT or any of its
members on the implementation approach proposed by ICANN Staff, the GDD
Project Manager, in consultation with the GNSO Council liaison if
appropriate, shall exercise all reasonable efforts to resolve the
disagreement. Should the disagreement prove irreconcilable despite such
efforts, the GNSO Council liaison in consultation with the IRT is expected
to make an assessment as to the level of consensus within the IRT on whether
to raise the issue with the GNSO Council for consideration, using the
standard decision making methodology outlined in the GNSO Working Group
Guidelines. If the GNSO Council liaison makes the determination that there
is consensus for such consideration, the liaison will inform the GNSO
Council accordingly which will deliberate on the issue and then make a
determination on how to proceed which could include, for example, the
initiation of a GGP, a PDP or further guidance to the IRT and/or GDD staff
on how to proceed. This process also applies to cases in which there is
agreement between the IRT and GDD staff concerning the need for further
guidance from the GNSO Council and/or when issues arise that may require
possible policy discussion.
* Any IRT member that believes that his/her contributions are being
systematically ignored or discounted or wants to appeal a decision of the
IRT or GDD Staff should first discuss the circumstances with the GNSO
Council liaison to the IRT. In the event that the matter cannot be resolved
satisfactorily, the IRT member should request an opportunity to discuss the
situation with the Chair of the GNSO Council or their designated
representative. In addition, an IRT member always has the option to involve
the ombudsman (see
