Dear
SO/AC leaders,
We are
pleased to report that we received 72 applications
from individuals interested in serving on the next
review team under the Affirmation of Commitments (AoC)
that will examine the impact of new gTLDS in the areas
of competition, consumer trust and consumer choice
(CCT). Before final selection of the CCT Review Team
is completed by the ICANN CEO and the GAC Chair, we
are seeking endorsements from any SO/AC for those applicants
who have expressed an interest to serve as their
representatives.
If you
choose to endorse an applicant, please send your
endorsements by email to
[log in to unmask]
by the updated deadline of 17 December at 23:59 UTC.
In order
to help with the endorsement process, below are
answers to some frequently asked questions:
Is
there a set allocation for SO/AC representatives?
Under the AoC,
there is no set allocation per SO/AC or per
stakeholder group, nor is there a maximum for total
size of the review team.
How
Many Members Will be on the Review Team? There is no set number of
volunteers for the Review Team. However, keep in mind
that the review team should be comprised of members
that collectively have expertise covering the wide
range of topics that are within the mandate of this
review team. Past AoC review teams were comprised of
approximately 16 members.
What
Were the Criteria for Applicants?
The call
for volunteers lists the criteria that we were
looking for. The composition should be based on
several factors, including:
·
Subject matter expertise –
o
New gTLD application
