> Name                              Paul Rosenzweig
> Affiliation                       The Heritage Foundation/Red Branch
> Consulting -- part of the NCSG
>
> Please provide an overview of your experience/expertise with GNSO policy

> member of the CCWG-A in both WS1 and WS2 regarding accountability

> related to the ICANN transition.  As such I have participated in the full
> gamut of related GNSO/NCSG policy issue that are of applicability to that
> context.  Given my legal background, I have particularly focused on legal
> issues -- viz, ICANN's revised mission statement, the new Independent
> Review
> Process, and ongoing considerations of jurisdictional issues.  I have been,
> and remain, especially focused on areas where the influence of the GAC

> Please provide an overview of your Previous engagements in GNSO work in a

> the GNSO or NCSG in a leadership capacity.  This is the first instance in
> which I have volunteered for such a position.

> Please describe your familiarity with GAC processes, including GAC
> engagement in GNSO policy development:                  As part of my work
> with the CCWG-A I came to be intimately familiar with GAC processes for
> engaging in GNSO policy development.  I suspect that few in the GNSO have
> paid quite as much attention as I have to the GAC's rules of operation, its
> definition of consensus, and the ways in which it is permitted to influence
> ICANN policy.  Indeed the changes to those processes were one of the
> particular focuses of my interest in the CCWG-A and one of the reasons I
> was
> skeptical of the ultimate product of the CCWG and the resulting changes to
> ICANN's methods for considering GAC advice.  I remain of the view that GAC
> engagement in GNSO policy development is essential but that it should be
> accomplished through established GAC-GNSO liaison procedures and not
> through
> extra-procedural fiat.  By way of example,
> I have been vocal in my view that the GAC's intervention with the Board
> regarding two letter second level top level domains was procedurally
> improper (and also disappointed that the GNSO liaison to the GAC had  not
> alerted the GNSO to this issue earlier.  [And, though neutrality is a
> hallmark of a good liaison, I should also make clear that I find GAC claims
> that second level two-letter domains should be restricted deeply
> unpersuasive and antithetical to policies that animate the NCSG and the
> GNSO].

> Please provide any other information that demonstrates your qualifications
