[Call for Candidates] representative and alternate for NCSG on the EPDP Team

[Rafik Dammak]

Dear Members,

As you may be aware, the Expedited Policy Development Process (EPDP) to
address the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data phase 2 is
ongoing and the team is working toward delivering the initial report. We
are launching a call for a candidate to be appointed as a representative
for NCSG to replace Ayden and also for  a candidate to be selected as an
alternate.

The EPDP charter outlines the requirements for EPDP-appointed members:

   -

   Possessing a working/basic understanding of the GDPR. All members must
   commit to participating in the training selected for the EPDP Team to
   ensure knowledge adequate to effectively participate in the EPDP;
   -

   Be responsible to their appointing organization (in our instance, the
   NCSG), seeking input as necessary and keeping the appointing organization
   informed of progress;
   -

   Be knowledgeable of, and respect the, GNSO policy development process;
   -

   Willing to work, in good faith, toward consensus solutions during the
   life of the EPDP, and treat other members of the Team with respect;
   -

   Available to actively contribute to the activities of the EPDP on an
   ongoing basis, including during face-to-face meetings of the EPDP Team; and
   -

   Willing to sign the EPDP Team Statement of Participation.


There is an expectation to commit  actively participating in the EPDP.  It
is an expectation that members will represent the position of their
appointing organization and not their personal views. The NCSG’s appointed
members are therefore expected to liaise with the NCSG Policy Committee,
consult with wider membership, and to coordinate their positions with their
fellow NCSG representatives on the EPDP team and the NCSG GNSO Councillors.
All EPDP members must sign a Statement of Participation.

If you are interested in representing the NCSG on the EPDP, you must:


   -

   Be familiar with the EPDP process discussion regarding its scope, the
   Temporary Specification(s), Whois issues, and privacy in general. Knowledge
   of the GDPR and how it impacts the EPDP is essential;
   -

   Having a level of familiarity with GNSO processes;
   -

   Be familiar with the work of phase 1 and the topics deliberated and
   discussed during phase 2 in order to catch-up and to participate
   effectively.
   -

   Commit to participating actively in the EPDP through its lifecycle
   including participating  actively on the conference calls, attending
   face-to-face meetings if replacing a representative , and making
   intelligent and professional interventions on the EPDP’s mailing list.
   -

   Commit to keeping NCSG members updated and consulting with them
   regularly, with support and guidance from the NCSG Policy Committee; and
   -

   If selected, sign the EPDP Team Statement of Participation.


In order for your application to be considered, you must:


   -

   Submit an Expression of Interest indicating in detail your previous
   proven experience in GNSO Policy Development Processes and/or other ICANN
   Working Groups, familiarity with Whois/RDS and privacy issues, familiarity
   with data protection and in particular the GDPR, familiarity with NCSG
   positions on Whois/RDS, and outline how you will coordinate and liaise with
   NCSG and other EPDP members. You can also add any other relevant
   information or experience for consideration by the selection committee;
   -

   Submit a series of bullet points that outline your understanding of the
   deliberations in phase 2,
   -

   Submit an updated Statement Of Interest (SOI) form to the ICANN wiki
   page;
   -

   Comment on your ability to commit to and participate in this working
   group.


Please include specific examples in your application as to how you meet the
selection criteria and how you will represent the NCSG if you serve on the
EPDP. This will aid the NCSG Policy Committee in selecting representatives.

The deadline for the submission of applications is Monday 20th January at
12:00 UTC. Please send your application to maryam.bakoshi at icann.org with
rafik.dammak at gmail.com in cc.


Please free to contact the NCSG Policy Committee chair for further
information or if you have any questions.

Best Regards,

Rafk
