As such, the GAC-GNSO<br></div><div>Consultation Group (CG) on GAC Early Engagement in GNSO policy development activities<br></div><div>implemented a two-year pilot program in FY15-16 (starting 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2016).

Furthermore, the Liaison will be responsible for providing<br></div><div>the GNSO Council with regular updates on progress, including on GAC activities, specifically in<br></div><div>so far as these relate to issues of interest to the GNSO. The objective of the liaison<br></div><div>mechanism, in combination with some of the other mechanisms that the CG is exploring, as well as<br></div><div>existing early engagement tools, will be to facilitate effective early engagement of the GAC as<br></div><div>well as generally assist with flow of information between the GAC and the GNSO. In addition to<br></div><div>these existing engagement tools, regular co-ordination calls are to be scheduled between the<br></div><div>GNSO Liaison to the GAC and the GAC Secretariat to ascertain that all the relevant information<br></div><div>has been received by the GAC and progress is being made, following which a regular status update<br></div><div>is provided by the Liaison to the GNSO Council.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Skills and Experience<br></div><div> • Significant experience in and knowledge of the GNSO policy development process as well as of<br></div><div> recent and current policy work under discussion and / or review in the GNSO<br></div><div> • Availability to travel to and participate in GAC meetings during the course of ICANN meetings<br></div><div> and also, where applicable, intercessional meetings (via teleconference)<br></div><div> • A former or recently departed GNSO Councilor is likely to be well-qualified for the position<br></div><div> but this is not a necessary criterion for the Liaison.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Responsibilities<br></div><div> • Attend and participate as required in GAC meetings during ICANN meetings and possible<br></div><div> intercessional meetings (Note: travel funding is available for the ICANN meetings should the<br></div><div> Liaison otherwise not be able to attend an ICANN meeting)<br></div><div> • Represent and communicate the policy work of the GNSO in a neutral and objective manner<br></div><div> • Liaise with ICANN policy staff who may assist, as needed, in the preparation of briefing<br></div><div> materials and/or responses to questions<br></div><div> • Liaise with relevant working groups, utilizing GNSO Council liaisons where required, in order<br></div><div> to be continuously current and knowledgeable on work in progress<br></div><div> • Provide regular updates to the GNSO Council<br></div><div> • Guide the GAC in opportunities for early engagement<br></div><div> • Keep the GAC updated on how its early input was considered by the GNSO<br></div><div> • Assist in the facilitation of GAC-GNSO discussions in cases where GAC early input is in<br></div><div> conflict with GNSO views<br></div><div><br></div><div>Practical Working<br></div><div> • Attend all GAC open meetings and be allowed to request the floor<br></div><div> • Attend GAC closed meetings discussing GNSO related topics and be allowed to request the floor<br></div><div> • Attend GAC conference calls by invitation and accordingly be allowed to request the floor<br></div><div> • Join GAC working groups by invitation and accordingly be allowed to request the floor<br></div><div> • Will not be on the GAC mailing list but may send to it t through the mailing list admin and<br></div><div> receives replies by being cc’d<br></div><div><br></div><div>Application Process<br></div><div>1.
