RE: [gnso-arr-dt] Call for Applicants for the Position of Volunteer Review Team Member

["Gomes, Chuck" <cgomes@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

ICANN has already called for volunteers but asks them to apply through their 
SO/AC.  How do they do that?  We need a process for that.  What value is there 
in the GNSO calling for volunteers until we have a process and some agreement 
on GNSO objectives?
