-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [council] Members / Volunteers - IANA Stewardship Transition & ICANN Accountability Date: Mon, 23 Jun 2014 15:48:20 +0100 From: Jonathan Robinson <[log in to unmask]> Reply-To: <[log in to unmask]> Organization: Afilias To: <[log in to unmask]> All, *IMPORTANT - Members / Volunteers - IANA Stewardship Transition & ICANN Accountability* It seems we have universal agreement on the link between IANA Stewardship Transition & ICANN Accountability. In order to support these two critical and closely linked areas of work, we need three sets of volunteers from the GNSO as follows: *GNSO / CCNSO initiated CWG on **Transition of NTIA's Stewardship of the IANA Functions*** · Up to 4 participants (from the GNSO) for the Charter Drafting Team ASAP · Logically, this seems to be 1 per SG · There is an informal gathering of the participants (in so far as they already exist) _today_ at 18h00 in Sovereign (or Cadogan if required) *Coordination Group on Transition of NTIA's Stewardship of the IANA Functions* · https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/process-next-steps-2014-06-06-en · ICANN is seeking 5 participants from the GNSO including 2 from the Registries · Logically, and I believe we are agreed, this seems to be 1 per SG (excluding Registries SG) *Enhancing ICANN Accountability* · https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/enhancing-accountability-2014-05-06-en · It has been suggested that ICANN may seek 4 participants from the GNSO but this is not confirmed · Public comment (reply period) open until 27 June 2014 · Avri Doria (NCPH / NCSG) and James Bladel (CPH / RrSG) to participate in panel / community session to discuss accountability on Thursday 26 June, 2014 There may or may not be overlap between the above participants. I propose that the Council acts as co-ordinator. I do not propose that we apply any (GNSO Council) selection process but am mindful of the desirability of diversity. Also, I am cognisant that the Council has a management / coordination role to play here in order to ensure that channels of communication are well maintained and bottom-up processes are followed. Please can you communicate and work with / within your respective SGs to produce these names and provide them to the GNSO Secretariat as soon as possible. Many thanks, Jonathan Jonathan Robinson Chair ICANN GNSO Council [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> Tel: +44 (0)20 7993 6103 skype: jonathan.m.r
