Dear All,

Following the publication of the Call for Volunteers 
<https://www.icann.org/en/announcements/details/icann-seeks-volunteers-for-the-ppsai-implementation-review-team-20-05-2024-en>, 
the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) 
organization (org) is pleased to invite you to nominate a representative 
and an alternate to the Proxy & Privacy Services (PPSAI) policy 
Implementation Review Team (IRT).

The implementation process is an ICANN org-driven exercise.  ICANN org 
plans to employ the “Open + Representative Model” piloted on the 
Subsequent Procedures IRT and based on the GNSO’s PDP 3.0 model 
<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/pdp-3-2-working-group-models-10feb20-en.pdf.pdf>. 
The goal is to provide a structure that allows for efficient resolution 
of issues that may occur.

We kindly ask that your group nominate up to one representative and up 
to one alternate to participate in the IRT. Please note, we are asking 
each of ICANN’s supporting organizations, advisory committees, 
stakeholder groups and constituencies to nominate up to one 
representative and one alternate.

Putting forward a representative and alternate is optional; all members 
of the GNSO Group are welcome to join the IRT as participants. In fact, 
we urge anyone who is interested in being selected as a representative 
to join the IRT as a participant first (call for volunteers 
<https://www.icann.org/en/announcements/details/icann-seeks-volunteers-for-the-ppsai-implementation-review-team-20-05-2024-en>). 
As you will see below, the roles of participants and representatives are 
nearly identical, with the representatives’ main function being that of 
an information-bridge to their community groups.

ICANN org plans to host the first IRT call during the ICANN80 public 
meeting in June 2024. We do not require the nominees for the first 
meeting, but request that you conclude the nomination process and inform 
us of the nominees as soon as feasible.

Why Have Representatives?

While participants always speak in their own personal capacity, 
representatives are expected to speak on behalf of their constituency, 
stakeholder group, supporting organization, or advisory committee. 
Therefore, a key part of the representative’s role will be to engage 
actively and consistently with their colleagues to ensure they can 
convey their group’s viewpoints to the IRT. Please note, that this will 
require an efficient process for representatives to inform and receive 
input from their respective groups. To put this into place will be the 
responsibility of each representative.

In addition, when determining the level of consensus in the circumstance 
described in Section V.E. of the IRT Principles & Guidelines 
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/irt-principles-guidelines-23aug16-en.pdf>, 
the GNSO Liaison, in the Open + Representative model, shall take into 
consideration that members who are representatives are expected to 
express the viewpoint of their respective community groups and 
participants to express their own views. This does not impact each 
member’s ability to raise any concern they may have, nor does it absolve 
ICANN org or the GNSO Council liaison from “exercis[ing] all reasonable 
efforts to resolve disagreements” within the IRT.

More information can be found on this PPSAI IRT wiki page 
<https://community.icann.org/x/lQDSEw>.  We are looking forward to 
getting the IRT underway and, please, do not hesitate to reach out 
should you have any questions.
