Dear Council Members, SG/C Chairs,



As you may be aware, the ICANN Board Accountability Mechanisms Committee
(BAMC) recently launched a call for volunteers to recompose the Independent
Review Process (IRP) Implementation Oversight Team (IOT) (see
https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/sanchez-to-siddiqui-et-al-26jun19-en.pdf
 [icann.org]
<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_en_system_files_correspondence_sanchez-2Dto-2Dsiddiqui-2Det-2Dal-2D26jun19-2Den.pdf&d=DwMGaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=PDd_FX3f4MVgkEIi9GHvVoUhbecsvLhgsyXrxgtbL10DTBs0i1jYiBM_uTSDzgqG&m=nB8wjB51BCGkGoYf3d1QMu8BvYola3KUSkUARFf64_Q&s=O4k5PeksbH8PKBf9gPIeTNc6uFW4qxu6BXOVz-IIlyM&e=>
) . The letter also notes that ‘if any SO/AC wishes to vet candidates
through its own candidate selection process, the BAMC welcomes that work,
diligence, and indication of support when passing the candidate further
into the process’.



As during recent discussions, Council members as well as GNSO community
members have highlighted the importance of this process and the need for
the GNSO to contribute candidates with expertise to this process, Council
leadership would like to propose the following steps:



   1. Any candidates interested in GNSO Council endorsement should send
   their Expressions of Interest describing how his or her experience aligns
   with the skills identified, as well as a commitment to the estimated time
   demands to gnso-secs at icann.org by Friday 12 July 2019.
   2. Council leadership will evaluate the applications against the skills
   and experience outlined in the call for volunteers (see also below).
   3. Council leadership will share with the Council the proposed
   candidates for GNSO Council endorsement by 17 July 2019 at the latest.
   4. Council to consider proposed candidates for endorsement during 18
   July 2019 GNSO Council meeting.
   5. GNSO Secretariat to submit EOIs of endorsed candidates by 31 July
   2019 at the latest.
   6. All the EOIs of the candidates that meet the qualifications will be
   provided to the BAMC for evaluation and identification of new members.



If you have any questions or concerns about this proposed process, please
let us know as soon as possible. We appreciate that the timeline is short,
but we hope this will not prevent you from encouraging members who have the
required skills and experience from applying. To be clear, nothing prevents
those not seeking GNSO Council endorsement from submitting their
applications directly to the BAMC.



With best regards,



Pam Little and Rafik Dammak, Vice Chairs, GNSO Council

On behalf of GNSO Council Leadership

*Skills and Experience Required *



The IOT has very important work remaining, including the finalization of a
set of Updated Supplementary Procedures that will define the conduct of
IRPs and assure that the purposes of the IRP are upheld. These Procedures
must also align with principles of international arbitration. As a result,
those members of our community that you identify and encourage to join the
IOT, should have the necessary legal or judicial skills and experience in
disputes such as IRPs, arbitrations, or other alternate dispute resolution
processes. Specific familiarity with ICANN’s accountability mechanisms is
another important skill that we hope to see amongst new members. No single
candidate must bring all of this experience, but as we look at the IOT as a
whole, we are striving for a variety of experiences that, taken together,
make the IOT well-suited to finalize a set of procedures to conduct IRP
proceedings. IOT members must also have the time and availability to attend
at least a one hour call each week to participate on IOT telephonic
meetings, as well as sufficient availability to contribute to the work
online.
