<DIV>Dear Mr. Hoggarth,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I must say that I am very dissappointed in the progress being made here to
date. No not a usual rant about ICANN. I am dissappointed in
netizens. This total lack of participation in the governance of their own
Internet is disconcerting. I would like to find someone to blame, such is human
nature.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But I would much rather hear from you. What has been done to garner
public participation in this very important progress that ICANN is trying to
achieve? Why is interest so low?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This question would seem to go to the heart of the broad board policies of
ICANN. For nearly a decade we fought for participatory rights in
governance. This is not perfect but it is at least progress and now no
one will take advantage.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you,</DIV>
<DIV>Eric Hugh Dierker</DIV>

Eric:<BR><BR>Thanks very much for your note. I think you are correct that
several broad policy considerations are important parts of the Board’s effort
to select three of the six Non Commercial Stakeholder Group (NCSG)
representatives on the newly-restructured GNSO Council. In particular, two of
the chief goals of the GNSO Improvements effort have been (1) to make the
GNSO’s policy development process (PDP) more effective and responsive to
community needs and (2) to make participation in the GNSO more inclusive and
representative.<BR></SPAN></FONT><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"><FONT
face="Times New Roman"><BR></FONT><FONT face=Garamond>Doubling non commercial
community representation on the GNSO Council (from three to six seats) is
certainly one aspect of trying to achieve those goals. The emphasis being
placed on the interest and ability of candidates to commit themselves to
community/constituency development and outreach efforts (in addition to their
regular Council duties) is another. A third important aspect of the
process, and a long-standing ICANN policy principle, appears to be diverse
geographic representation. For example, among the factors specifically noted in
the Position Notification Document (see - <A

target=_blank

is the expectation that the three candidates ultimately selected will come
from three different geographic regions.<BR></FONT><FONT face="Times New

involved in helping the Board manage the process for the Board is more a
product of workload and duty assignments rather than a matter of “policy” but I
am happy to address any follow-up questions, comments or insights you may have
on this.<BR><BR>Best regards,<BR><BR>Rob Hoggarth<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>On 8/9/09

question to you is; Please tell us the "policy" considerations that are

shifted/directed over to the Policy arm of ICANN staff. I truly believe that
there is very good reason why Policy considerations should go into the
selection. We must assume that the Policy of ICANN is to asure the most
broadbased participation in any governance structure.<BR> <BR>Certainly
the GA is a perfect GNSO forum for spreading the good news which is ,, a
progressive and aggressive reform of structure within ICANN to move the ICANN
mission into a more internationally recognized, internationally integrated and
representative organization.<BR> <BR>Eric Dierker<BR> <BR><BR><BR>---

Now For GNSO Council Non Commercial Seats<BR><BR>5 August
2009<BR>Representation of the Non Commercial Community on the GNSO Council will
double from three to six representatives this October when a new Council is
seated in Seoul, South Korea. New transitional ICANN Board appointments will
fill three of the new Council seats. This month the ICANN Board is accepting
Statements of Interest from members of the non commercial community who would
like to volunteer for these three new positions and potentially serve as full
GNSO Councilors for the next two years. <BR><BR>As outlined in the attached
flyer [PDF, 226K | DOC, 148K] <BR><A
href="http://www.icann.org/en/committees/improvements/soi-notification-board-ncsg-appointments-04aug09-en.pdf";
target=_blank
rel=nofollow>http://www.icann.org/en/committees/improvements/soi-notification-board-ncsg-appointments-04aug09-en.pdf</A><BR>this
is a unique opportunity for leaders in the non commercial community to step
forward and serve the ICANN community at a pivotal moment in the Internet's
development. <BR><BR>Background and Explanation: <BR><BR>At its 30 July meeting
the ICANN Board approved a transitional charter for a new Non Commercial
Stakeholders Group (NCSG) (see - <A
href="http://gnso.icann.org/en/improvements/ncsg-proposed-charter-30jul09-en.pdf";
target=_blank
rel=nofollow>http://gnso.icann.org/en/improvements/ncsg-proposed-charter-30jul09-en.pdf</A>).
The charter sets out a transitional approach (Section 8 - Appendix) for
selecting the NCSG's GNSO Council representatives. Under this transitional
approach, the current Non-Commercial Users Constituency (NCUC) will elect 3
Council seats (in total). The remaining 3 seats will be temporary Board
appointments with the expectation that additional non-commercial Constituencies
will be formed/approved and participate in filling future NCSG Council seats.
The transition period will be two years. <BR><BR>Of the four new Stakeholder
Group Charters approved by the Board last week, this temporary seat selection
by the Board is unique to the NCSG. It reflects a fundamental view that the
current non-commercial community participation in the GNSO is not yet
sufficiently diverse or robust to select all six of the NCSG's allocated
Council seats (as was originally intended by the Board's GNSO Improvements
initiative). It is important to note that this condition is temporary. The
Board expects that the new Board-appointees will work hard in the coming months
with the ICANN Staff and the community to forge new relationships and
structures that will achieve the Board's goal of a robust and diverse
non-commercial community within the GNSO framework. <BR><BR>At the direction of
the Board's Structural Improvements Committee (SIC), the ICANN Staff has
prepared a formal GNSO Council NCSG Position Notification Form [PDF, 60K | DOC,
71K] and a formal Statement of Interest Form application [PDF, 30K | DOC, 54K]
for interested persons to review. The GNSO Council NCSG Position Notification
Form explains the duties of the new positions. The Statement of Interest Form
asks interested persons for some personal information and gives volunteers the
opportunity to explain their interest in the positions and their qualifications
for the Council member duties. The Board and ICANN Staff will keep all
submissions in strict confidence and no personal contact information will be
shared. <BR><BR>The Process From Here:<BR><BR>The Board hopes that a number of
candidates will express their interest in volunteering for these new positions
over the course of this month. <BR><BR>The Structural Improvements Committee of
the Board will evaluate all statements of interest and will make
recommendations for finalists to the full Board for consideration at the
Board's scheduled 30 September special meeting. Selected candidates will be
notified as soon as possible to give them an opportunity to travel to and
participate in the first meeting of the restructured GNSO Council in Seoul,
South Korea on 28 October 2009. <BR><BR>Deadline and How to Submit Statements
of Interest: <BR><BR>Statements of Interest will be accepted through Noon PDT
on Monday 31 August 2009 at the email address - <A
