I should further note that what ICANN is looking for experts - people 
with experience and background in consumer trust issues. For us (NCSG), 
there may be two ways that "consumer trust" can be used: as a content 
issue for websites (can consumers trust who is running the website and 
what it selling or sharing (is this even within the scope of ICANN?)) OR 
"consumers" as Registrants -- the group of Registrants who buy, sell, 
transfer and use domain names and in many cases are subject to 
revocation, complaints and other forms of abuse without due process or 
protections (see recent posting  by John Berryhill on CircleID).

Whatever your view, a Review Team is like a working group on steroids. 
It runs hard, fast and intensely, with huge amounts at stake for our 
NCSG members, and the need for dedicated and continuous work, drafting, 
editing and advocacy.

Best,
Kathy
Veteran of the Whois Review Team.
