[NCSG-PC] Fwd: [NA-Discuss] Call for Volunteers: GNSO Expedited PDP on Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data

Wed Jul 11 11:52:54 EEST 2018

I don't have any strong opinions about the tool we will use and as I
said, this will be the first time I will be reviewing applications in
this group. Happy to see the way email work here and we can decide
later if worth considering a third party or not. That's my point,
Ayden.

As for the time commitment, I think the call (as drafted) is very
clear on that even if it doesn't specifically mention the number of
hours that members should put in the work. I am against mentioning 30
hours in the call as this might cause more harm than good. We will
need professionals (those with a day job) to send in their
applications and I am sure anyone applying will have checked their
workload and decide whether they have the time required to be a full
member of this effort.

Those are my thoughts, happy to be convinced otherwise.

Regards,
Arsene
