Hi,

Do we have privacy experts who applied and were rejected.  I noticed the following:

"
Additional members may be added to the Expert Working Group to provide special areas of expertise and knowledge (e.g. privacy).

on the announcement site. <http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-14feb13-en.htm>

Maybe some ought to get involved.
