In contrast to the ATRT reviews and others, ICANN will not be making community appointments to the group from a slate of identified candidates; the community representation on this Working Group is to be determined by the SO/AC leadership. We are hoping that you can start consideration of membership from SO or AC that you are leading. As ICANN is trying to align the timeline of the Enhancing ICANN Accountability work to the IANA Stewardship Transition work, we are hoping that we can have community representation identified in
