Do we know of anyone who has so far applied from NCSG? This is potentially a disaster if we don?t have anyone who has applied.

And we are already way behind schedule, as the due date is today. If anyone is interested in applying, do it now. If you know someone you think would be a good choice, encourage them to apply right now. 

We then have roughly month to decide who gets NCSG endorsement, and whoever that is will probably get endorsed as a GNSO candidate.

All,
This is an important one for us because the word "consumer" has two different meanings at ICANN. For the intellectual property community, "consumer" means those purchasing their goods and services from websites. For them, "consumer trust" is inextricably tied to the increased protection of trademarks and copyrights (as "identifiers" to consumers of their goods).

We (NCSG) has often used the word "consumer" as those who purchase domain names -- namely Registrants. "Consumers" are the people who buy and sell the goods provided by Registries and Registrars. These consumers/registrants (us!) need fair policies for domain name registrations, transfers, revocations -- all policies for gTLDs created by and through ICANN.  

For better or worse, those representing these two types of "consumers" often clash.
I think it is key that NCSG have a really good person on this Review Team.

Best,
Kathy

The CCT Review Team?s mandate under the AoC is to ?examine the extent to which the introduction or expansion of gTLDs has promoted competition, consumer trust and consumer choice, as well as effectiveness of (a) the application and evaluation process, and (b) safeguards put in place to mitigate issues involved in the introduction or expansion.?

This call is intended for individuals interested in applying for a position of Volunteer Review Team Member, in representation of a Supporting Organization (S0) or Advisory Committee (AC), and/or as an Independent Expert.  Please kindly note that we will be soliciting endorsements from the SO/ACs of the applicants that have expressed an interest in representing an SO/AC in November as part of the selection process.

Selection of the members of the Review Teams will be made jointly by the Chair of the Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) and by the CEO of ICANN, as mandated by section 9.3 of the Affirmation of Commitments.  The names of the Review Team members will be publicly posted once the review team is constituted.  

The key dates to keep in mind are:
