[bc-gnso] ICANN News Alert -- The Accountability and Transparency Affirmation Review Team

[Marilyn Cade <marilynscade@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear BC members
During the recent Kenya ICANN meeting, one of the side events which your CSG 
representatives -- Sarah Deutsch and Marilyn Cade-- participated in [with other 
CSG reps] was the development of the process to select the nominee from the SG 
into the process that would then lead to the 'endorsed' candidates for the 
'selectors' -- the Chair of ICANN and the Chair of the GAC, to select the final 
panel of participants.  All BC members thank the BC members who were willing to 
stand for nomination to the Review Panel on Accountability and Transparancy.  
We were privileged to have more than one BC member who volunteered for the 
selection process. 
The CSG endorsed one of the candidates put forward from the three commercially 
oriented constituencies, after an internal discussion within the CSG. Our 
endorsed candidate was indeed selected to the Panel. 

The 'news' is pasted below regarding the Panel's selection.  We will be 
discussing how the BC/CSG can support the work of the Panel at the Brussels 
meeting, once we are informed of the Review Panel's processes. 
The future process for the next three panels is not determined, and it is my 
plan to ask the CSG representative, Sarah Deutsch, to help to define  
improvements to the process used on this 'selection', to ensure that the BC's 
interests are represented. This may mean that a process that relies on the SGs, 
rather than the gTLD Policy Council, could emerge for the future review panels. 
We have time and will ensure that all BC members participate in the discussion 
of processes for the next three Review Panels. This panel's overall selection 
process was regrettably driven by deadlines that gave the community limited 
flexibility. 
However, we are fortunate that the outcome  -- selection of the panel -- 
reflects the BC's input.
