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

["Tim Ruiz" <tim@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

My point is that not being a formal member of a Stakeholder Group, does
mean that you are not part of a stakeholder group that is represented in
the GNSO. 

For example, Andrei works for a non-profit and is involved in a
non-commercial foundation fighting child abuse. He may not be a formal
member of the NCUC or the NCSG, but as a non-commercial stakeholder in
ICANN outcomes his stakeholder group is represented in the GNSO. The
non-profit he works for is the .RU country domain administrator. Whether
.RU is a formal member of the ccNSO or not, ccTLD stakeholders are
represented in the ICANN process. As a result, Andrei could be put
forward as a candidate for the AoC teams by either the GNSO (nominated
by the NCSG perhaps) or by the ccNSO.

I think something similar is true for any other NCA.

Tim

Hi,
Just to clarify there is one NCA part of each house, the other NCA is
independent, has not vote and is not in any house.
None NCA is member of a stakeholder group.
