<br>
Dear Tapani (and Farzaneh as incoming Chair)<br>
<br>
I am writing to request that you consider endorsing me to be the GNSO<br>
Liaison to the GAC. My current SOI is here:<br>
<a href="https://community.icann.org/display/gnsosoi/Paul+Rosenzweig+SOI" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://community.icann.org/<wbr>display/gnsosoi/Paul+<wbr>Rosenzweig+SOI</a><br>
<br>
My completed application template follows:<br>
<br>
APPLICATION TEMPLATE<br>
<br>
Name Paul Rosenzweig<br>
Affiliation The Heritage Foundation/Red Branch<br>
Consulting -- part of the NCSG<br>
<br>
Please provide an overview of your experience/expertise with GNSO policy<br>
development processes: Since 2014, I have been an active<br>
member of the CCWG-A in both WS1 and WS2 regarding accountability mechanisms<br>
related to the ICANN transition. As such I have participated in the full<br>
gamut of related GNSO/NCSG policy issue that are of applicability to that<br>
context. Given my legal background, I have particularly focused on legal<br>
issues -- viz, ICANN's revised mission statement, the new Independent Review<br>
Process, and ongoing considerations of jurisdictional issues. I have been,<br>
and remain, especially focused on areas where the influence of the GAC seems<br>
to reflect governmental interests that are inconsistent with GNSO policy.<br>
<br>
Please provide an overview of your Previous engagements in GNSO work in a<br>
leadership capacity: I have not had a previous opportunity to serve in<br>
the GNSO or NCSG in a leadership capacity. This is the first instance in<br>
which I have volunteered for such a position.<br>
<br>
Please describe your familiarity with GAC processes, including GAC<br>
engagement in GNSO policy development: As part of my work<br>
with the CCWG-A I came to be intimately familiar with GAC processes for<br>
engaging in GNSO policy development. I suspect that few in the GNSO have<br>
paid quite as much attention as I have to the GAC's rules of operation, its<br>
definition of consensus, and the ways in which it is permitted to influence<br>
ICANN policy. Indeed the changes to those processes were one of the<br>
particular focuses of my interest in the CCWG-A and one of the reasons I was<br>
skeptical of the ultimate product of the CCWG and the resulting changes to<br>
ICANN's methods for considering GAC advice. I remain of the view that GAC<br>
engagement in GNSO policy development is essential but that it should be<br>
accomplished through established GAC-GNSO liaison procedures and not through<br>
extra-procedural fiat. By way of example,<br>
I have been vocal in my view that the GAC's intervention with the Board<br>
regarding two letter second level top level domains was procedurally<br>
improper (and also disappointed that the GNSO liaison to the GAC had not<br>
alerted the GNSO to this issue earlier. [And, though neutrality is a<br>
hallmark of a good liaison, I should also make clear that I find GAC claims<br>
that second level two-letter domains should be restricted deeply<br>
unpersuasive and antithetical to policies that animate the NCSG and the<br>
GNSO].<br>
<br>
Please provide any other information that demonstrates your qualifications<br>
for this position: It is perhaps of relevance that I have a<br>
history of service in the US government and thus a reasonable understanding<br>
of the role of governments. In the 2005-09 time period I twice served as<br>
the Acting Assistant Secretary for International Affairs at the Department<br>
of Homeland Security, and thus experience in international diplomatic<br>
contexts. I attach a full resume for your consideration.<br>
<br>
I would be happy to answer any further questions you or other members of the<br>
NCSG might have.<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
Paul<br>
