Hi,

Some months ago we had some preliminary discussion about GNSO-ALAC collaboration to develop a charter of rights for registrants.  A number of people expressed interest at that point in participating and were added to the GNSO listserv on this.  The council has recently adopted a charter for the drafting team, now we really need some NCUC bodies to help populate it.  If you're willing and able, staff instructions are below.

Subject: Doodle: Call for Volunteers to participate in Joint ALAC/GNSO Efforts Related to the Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA)


Dear All,

At its meeting on 3 September 2009, the GNSO Council approved the charter to convene a drafting team to:
(i) draft a registrant rights charter in cooperation with ALAC, and
(ii) discuss further amendments to the  RAA and to identify those on which further action may be desirable.

For those of you who are interested in participating in these efforts, please reply to this email and use the Doodle below to identify the times that you are available in order to schedule the first call.

Please also submit your Statement of Interest along with your response.  The Statement of Interest should include the following information:
1. Current vocation, employer and position
2. Type of work performed in 1 above
3. Identify any financial ownership or senior management/leadership  interest in registries, registrars or other firms that are interested parties in ICANN policy or any entity with which ICANN has a transaction, contract, or other  arrangement
4. Identify any type of commercial interest in ICANN GNSO policy development outcomes.  Are you representing other parties?
5. Describe any arrangements or agreements between you and any other group, constituency or person(s) regarding your nomination or selection as a work team member.

The purpose of this first call will be to determine the logistics on how to proceed with these RAA related efforts, and to identify coordinators from ALAC and the GNSO for this joint effort, as well as the chair for the work of each of the subgroups.

Please complete the attached Doodle link - this poll closes on Friday, 25 September at 1700 UTC. The date and time of this call will then be announced.
