style="FONT-SIZE: 7pt"> </SPAN>The GNSO
endorsement process is under development and a draft process will be submitted
to the GNSO Council on 10 February for consideration by the Council in its
meeting on 18 February. <SPAN lang=EN-US>The proposed process will be
publicly posted on 10 February or as soon as possible
thereafter.</SPAN> <o:p></o:p></P>

</SPAN>This process will apply only for the first AoC Review, i.e., to the 2010
A&T RT; a longer term process will be developed in the coming months for the
other RTs.<o:p></o:p></P>

proposed, that process will require AoC review team volunteers for the 2010
Accountability and Transparency Review Team (A&T RT) to submit GNSO
requested information in addition to the CV and motivation letter as mentioned
in the ICANN request for volunteers posted at <A

plans to finalize, approve and communicate the GNSO endorsement
process.<o:p></o:p></P>

meantime, it is strongly encouraged that SGs, Constituencies and other
GNSO groups encourage potential volunteers for the 2010 A&T RT to begin
preparing their CVs and motivation letters so that they will only have to add
the GNSO requested information after 18 February.<o:p></o:p></P>
