On behalf of the GNSO Council, we wish to inform you that on 23 January 2020, the GNSO Council adopted the Addendum to the Review of All Rights Protection Mechanisms (RPMs) in All gTLDs Policy Development Process (PDP) Charter in order to integrate Recommendation 5 from the IGO-INGO Access to Curative Rights Protection Mechanisms Final Report as a new and parallel Work Track into the ongoing RPMs PDP. Due to general capacity concerns within the GNSO and for other interested parties, as well as challenges arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, the GNSO Council believed it prudent to delay this call for volunteers until a more appropriate time. If you wish for your group to participate in the IGO Work Track, we ask that you commence the selection and appointment process for members and alternates from your respective group as soon as practicable, to enable the team to begin its work in an expeditious manner. Under the Charter, your group may appoint a certain maximum number of members, as indicated below. Please note the composition of the IGO Work Track as approved by the GNSO Council in the Charter:
As you consider possible appointments from amongst your members, please take into account the expected membership criteria: All Members of the IGO Work Track must:
All Members of the IGO Work Track should:
In addition, please note that: (1) groups should endeavor to appoint representatives with the relevant knowledge/expertise as detailed; and (2) where a group is not able to appoint representatives with the relevant knowledge/expertise, it should seek to contribute towards the balanced participation that is being sought, by appointing representatives with specific skill sets that otherwise facilitates an effective policy outcome (e.g. professional experience in an IGO/international NGO environment, relevant practical experience with complex legal and policy issues, demonstrated expertise in consensus-building and/or professional facilitation experience, etc.) Please also take into account the following points of information:
To effectively manage the workload in a reasonable timeframe, all IGO Work Track Members (as defined above) are required to commit from the outset of the work effort to the Statement of Participation. In addition, all Team Members and Alternates must complete and maintain an up-to-date Statement of Interest on the GNSO wiki. In order to ensure a timely start of the IGO Work Track, you are requested to confirm your appointed Members and Alternates at the latest by 7 December 2020 in order to be able to schedule the first meeting of the IGO Work Track in a timely manner. To confirm your membership, please inform the GNSO Secretariat at gnso-secs@icann.org. On behalf of the GNSO Council |

In their EoI, candidates should respond to the following:
Please use the EoI template (.docx file attached) to fill out the required information. Candidates' EoI submissions will be reviewed by the ALAC Appointee Selection Committee which will forward its preferred EoIs to the ALAC for final selection and/or ratification. BACKGROUND On 10 March 2016, the ICANN Board transmitted to the U.S. National Telecommunications and Information Agency (NTIA) a package of proposals [icann.org] developed by the international Internet community to transition NTIA’s stewardship of the IANA functions to the global multistakeholder community. One of the things that this package calls for is the creation of a Customer Standing Committee (CSC) to provide operational oversight of the performance of the IANA naming function, a role currently performed by NTIA. The scope and responsibility of the CSC is available here [icann.org]. The membership composition of the CSC, as specified in the package of proposals, includes one Liaison appointed by the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) who was to serve an inaugural three-year term. With the resignation of the ALAC Liaison, a mid-term replacement is now being sought to serve until 1 October 2019. Liaisons shall not be members or be entitled to vote on the CSC, but otherwise shall be entitled to participate on equal footing with members of the CSC. Participation in the CSC is voluntary. The CSC is expected to perform the majority of its work telephonically and via email. Travel funding will not be provided. ABOUT THE CSC The CSC ensures the satisfactory performance of the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) naming function. The CSC is responsible for monitoring Public Technical Identifier’s (PTI) performance of the IANA naming function against the service level expectations in the IANA Naming Function Contract. The CSC analyzes performance reports provided by PTI and publishes its findings. The CSC is authorized to undertake remedial action to address poor performance of the IANA naming function, and if performance issues are not remedied, may escalate the issues to the ccNSO and GNSO. Additional information on the CSC is available at: https://www.icann.org/csc [icann.org] . OUTCOME

Members and Alternates for the Expedited Policy Development Process on the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data (EPDP) SUBMITTED APPLICATIONS To ALAC List on 11 July 2018, from Alan Greenberg, ALAC Chair: In light of the European General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), the ICANN Board enacted a temporary policy governing WHOIS (now know as Registration Data) effective 25 May 2018. This temporary policy must be replaced by a permanent policy within one year. To take this action, the GNSO has initiated and Expedited Policy Development Policy. The Charted for this process is expected to be approved by the GNSO on 19 July 2018, and a group convened to develop the policy will be convened soon after. Although the membership quotas of this group will not be definitively known until the charter is approved, at this point we expect that the ALAC will be given three Members and three Alternates. It is expected that Alternates may only actively participate if a Member is not available, but would be expected to be prepared to participate if needed. Members and Alternates representing the ALAC will work as a team to develop an ALAC position and strive to appropriately effect the policy effort. There will be regular consultation with the ALAC and At-Large. Since the policy must be in place by 25 May 2019, it is expected that a draft policy will be prepared in time for the ICANN63 meeting in late October 2018. Membership in the EPDP is expected to require up to 30 hours per week, starting immediately and at least for the first 4 months, and probably a lower but still significant commitment until mid-2018. The GNSO is also setting some very specific criteria for participation. Although the list may change, the current requirements are as follows: * Have sufficient and appropriate motivation, availability and expertise to participate in the substance of the work of the EPDP Team. Appropriate experience could, for example, include experience with the previous RDS/WHOIS policy development processes, task forces, or implementation review teams, or participation in EWG efforts; * Commit to abide by the EPDP Team Commitment Statement, and to accept the consequences of non-compliance as may be determined by the EPDP leadership or appointing group; * Commit to build consensus on issues within the scope of this EPDP; * Commit to actively participate in the activities of the EPDP on an on-going and long-term basis, for a period of no less than one-year, with the highest intensity expected in the first six to eight months; * Solicit and communicate (where appropriate) the views and concerns of individuals in the group that appoints them; * Commit to abide to the charter when participating in the EPDP Team; * Understand the needs of the Internet communities that ICANN serves (standards, domains and numbers); * Commit to attend any provided introductory training courses, e.g., privacy, trademarks, registrar operations, DNS, etc. * Understand the broader ecosystem (the Internet Community) in which ICANN operates and the needs of those working on other aspects of the Internet industry. Membership and participation will be on behalf of the ALAC and not representing personal views. Expressions of Interest will be accepted until 23:59 UTC on Friday, 13 July 2018. The EoI may be found at https://tinyurl.com/ALAC-EPDP-EoI. If you complete the EoI more than once, the last version will be the one used. OUTCOME The AASC has confirmed the following EPDP Members: Alan Greenberg The EPDP Alternates are: Holly Raiche |

ALAC Representatives in the RDS-Review Team There are a number of ongoing processes related to RDS including a GNSO Policy Development Process (PDP). Most parts of ICANN believe that this Review could have been deferred but the ICANN Bylaws do not allow that. As an alternative it has been suggested that this review be constrained to ONLY review the outcomes of the last WHOIS Review and judge to what extent its recommendations have been implemented and to what extend they were successful. Most parts of ICANN have endorsed this, with the exception of the GNSO which has issued a statement advocating a far wider review, including some aspects that overlap with the other on-going policy processes. As a result, it will be up to the review team itself to decide on the scope. Six applications have been received requesting our endorsement and they can be viewed at https://community.icann.org/x/gYfDAw. Applicants have been asked four questions to help the Committee make the selection:
All applicants replied by the deadline and their replies are placed on the "Submitted Applications" page above (in the order received). OUTCOME The ALAC Representatives in the 2nd RDS-Review Team are:Dmitry Belyavsky (Russia, EU) |

Of particular importance, please note the following: - (As per RoP 7.3) Liaisons to AC/SOs need not be ALAC Members, but they will normally be current or past ALAC Members, or otherwise familiar with the ALAC and At-Large and the TG to whom they will liaise. - (As per RoP 7.8) When representing the ALAC, Appointees have an obligation to solicit ALAC and At-Large views on the matter where practical and possible. Appointees should be selected knowing that in many instances such consultation may not be possible or practical and thus the ALAC needs to select people who understand the philosophies or guiding values and principles of the ALAC and At-Large. - Liaisons should be selected based on their familiarity with the group to which they are appointed. Having worked extensively with them before in some capacity (such as on multiple WGs) is a strong asset. - A level of trust between a Liaison and the group to which they are appointed is mandatory for success and must already exist or it should be demonstrable how or why it may exist in the future. - Liaisons to AC/SOs require a MAJOR time commitment over and above other At-Large responsibilities. - For the SSAC Liaison position, the ALAC only makes a recommendation. The Liaison is a full SSAC Member and must satisfy SSAC criteria and follow SSAC processes for admission to the AC. - For the GAC Liaison position, the potential candidate must be approved by GAC Leadership. - For .MOBI, the prime issue not as much mutual respect and trust, but ensuring that the Liaison understands the business of .MOBI and is well versed in mobile technologies. Liaison reports may be seen here. Liaisons are asked to provide monthly reports which summarize activities in the organization to which they are the Liaison. Process for Nomination and Selection: Nominations should be sent to the ALAC list the cc’ing Alan Greenberg and At-Large staff by Friday, 21 October at 23:59 UTC.
