Expert Volunteers Needed to Define Requirements for Internationalized
Registration Data and Corresponding Data Model for gTLD Registries


8 July 2013

As part of the process to implement WHOIS review team recommendations
related to  Internationalized Domain Name registration data requirements,
ICANN seeks volunteers who are community representatives with expertise in
linguistics, IDNA, policy and registry/registrar operations to participate
in a working group to determine appropriate Internationalized Domain Name
registration data requirements and data model for Registration Data
Directory Services (aka WHOIS services).

Interested experts are invited to submit their résumé and an expression of
interest statement demonstrating how they meet the qualifications for one or
more of the expertise areas specified. The
<http://www.icann.org/en/about/aoc-review/whois/call-for-experts-ird-08jul13
-en.pdf> call for volunteers document [PDF, 143 KB] that describes the type
of expertise needed, as well as the process for selecting members.

Applications should be sent to  <mailto:whois-rt-12@xxxxxxxxx>
whois-rt-12@xxxxxxxxx no later than 16 August 2013.

The working group is expected to:

*       Determine the requirements for internationalized registration data
*       Produce a data model for the IRD that matches the requirement

In doing so the working group is expected to build on previous community
efforts related to this issue, most notably:

The result of the WG product will go through a public comment process to
ensure broad input is received. It will form the basis for further policy
development and/or contractual framework for generic Top-level domains, as
well as ideally becoming  a best practice for country code top-level
domains.

Successful completion of the project depends on having team members with the
right skills. Therefore ICANN, through its Supporting Organizations and
Advisory Committees, and through its contacts with the international
Internet community, is soliciting the participation of community volunteers.

The formation of the working group is part of the process to implement the
internationalized registration data recommendations of the
