ICANN requires that these SOI's be filled out by anyone who participates in a working group or on the GNSO Council. And of course it is good practice and strongly encouraged that anyone who plays an advocacy role in the policy debate complete one of these forms.

Hi Robin,

The SOI are for those only on the GNSO.
Somehow I've not been issued one, nor is there instructions how to receive one.

As you can not complete the form without a SOI, please advise.

Warmly,

Kristina Macaulay

It is great to see robust debate on this list on a pending policy matter. And I'd like to encourage those members who have an opinion in this debate to consider working on a public comment to file to ICANN on the matter.

A reminder however, that those NCSG members wishing to submit pubic comments or otherwise advocate positions in the arena should fill-out ICANN's standard "Statement of Interest" Form and disclose any commercial interest one may have on the commented issue. These "SOI's" are also required to be filled-out by anyone participating in an ICANN Working Group or other policy debate as part of ICANN's commitment to transparency.

Thanks!
Robin
