CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS - gNSO RESTRUCTURING WORK TEAMS

This is a very important opportunity for you to serve the constituency
and the ICANN community as a whole.

As part of the restructuring of ICANN, the ISP community needs to be
actively engaged in the work of making improvements to the structure and
work of the gNSO.  This is an opportunity for you to participate and
make sure that the voice of the ISP community is heard at this 
important time.

The gNSO is forming Work Teams to implement specific improvements in 
the following five areas: 

1] A new and improved Policy Development Process (PDP) 
2] A standardized Working Group model for GNSO policy development 
   GNSO Council operations 
3] Stakeholder group and constituency processes and operations; and 
4] Efforts to improve the various communications functions in the 
5] GNSO community that will lead to broader and more effective 
   participation in all policy development activities. 
   
These Work Teams are open to all ICANN stakeholders, providing an 
opportunity for broad sharing of insights and expertise. We are 
especially interested in having volunteers from the ISP community to
serve on each of the Work Teams.

Will you please consider volunteering for one of the Work Teams on 
behalf of ISPs?

If you would be interested in volunteering, please let the constituency
know by Wednesday, January 21st?  Please drop a note to 
mcfadden@xxxxxxxxxx with the group you would be interested in working
with.

In advance, thanks for your efforts and work on behalf of ISPs in 
ICANN.
