                  <br>
                  the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and
                  Numbers (ICANN) <br>
                  organization (org) is pleased to invite you to
                  nominate a representative <br>
                  and an alternate to the Proxy & Privacy Services
                  (PPSAI) policy <br>
                  Implementation Review Team (IRT).<br>
                  <br>
                  The implementation process is an ICANN org-driven
                  exercise.  ICANN org <br>
                  plans to employ the “Open + Representative Model”

                  <br>
                  The goal is to provide a structure that allows for
                  efficient resolution <br>
                  of issues that may occur.<br>
                  <br>
                  We kindly ask that your group nominate up to one
                  representative and up <br>
                  to one alternate to participate in the IRT. Please
                  note, we are asking <br>
                  each of ICANN’s supporting organizations, advisory
                  committees, <br>
                  stakeholder groups and constituencies to nominate up
                  to one <br>
                  representative and one alternate.<br>
                  <br>
                  Putting forward a representative and alternate is
                  optional; all members <br>
                  of the GNSO Group are welcome to join the IRT as
                  participants. In fact, <br>
                  we urge anyone who is interested in being selected as
                  a representative <br>
                  to join the IRT as a participant first (call for

                  As you will see below, the roles of participants and
                  representatives are <br>
                  nearly identical, with the representatives’ main
                  function being that of <br>
                  an information-bridge to their community groups.<br>

                  Why Have Representatives?<br>
                  <br>
                  While participants always speak in their own personal
                  capacity, <br>
                  representatives are expected to speak on behalf of
                  their constituency, <br>
                  stakeholder group, supporting organization, or
                  advisory committee. <br>
                  Therefore, a key part of the representative’s role
                  will be to engage <br>
                  actively and consistently with their colleagues to
                  ensure they can <br>
                  convey their group’s viewpoints to the IRT. Please
                  note, that this will <br>
                  require an efficient process for representatives to
                  inform and receive <br>
                  input from their respective groups. To put this into
                  place will be the <br>
                  responsibility of each representative.<br>
                  <br>
                  In addition, when determining the level of consensus
                  in the circumstance <br>
                  described in Section V.E. of the IRT Principles &
                  Guidelines <br>
                  <<a href="https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/irt-principles-guidelines-23aug16-en.pdf" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/irt-principles-guidelines-23aug16-en.pdf</a>>,
                  <br>
                  the GNSO Liaison, in the Open + Representative model,
                  shall take into <br>
                  consideration that members who are representatives are
                  expected to <br>
                  express the viewpoint of their respective community
                  groups and <br>
                  participants to express their own views. This does not
                  impact each <br>
                  member’s ability to raise any concern they may have,
                  nor does it absolve <br>
                  ICANN org or the GNSO Council liaison from
                  “exercis[ing] all reasonable <br>
                  efforts to resolve disagreements” within the IRT.<br>
                  <br>
                  More information can be found on this PPSAI IRT wiki
                  page <br>
                  <<a href="https://community.icann.org/x/lQDSEw" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://community.icann.org/x/lQDSEw</a>>. 
                  We are looking forward to <br>
                  getting the IRT underway and, please, do not hesitate
                  to reach out <br>
                  should you have any questions.<br>
                  <br>
