<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">I agree that the Council should emphasise the primary role the GNSO has regarding gTLDs and that we believe it is important that GNSO-endorsed candidates fill a majority of the CCT
Review Team seats.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">However, I’m not sure I agree with limiting the endorsed candidates to 1 from each constituency and contracted party stakeholder group, I would rather see this returned to 0-2 candidates.
The reason being that the GNSO Council will not be endorsing a ‘slate’ of candidates, ie we will not be conducting a thorough selection process beyond geographic and gender diversity (I don’t support Stephanie’s notion that the Council review candidates based
on merit--I’m not sure we have the bandwidth or expertise to do so) and as such we need to provide some flexibility in the number of candidates that have GNSO endorsement so that we may increase the odds of greater representation. I say this because I don’t
believe ICANN’s CEO or GAC Chair will be under any obligation to select any candidates endorsed by the GNSO Council, which you noted was the case for the ATRT 2. Conversely, Fadi and Thomas may decide to discount candidates that have sought GNSO Council endorsement,
but were unable to do so and we need to account for this scenario as well.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt">Thanks James for resending. I missed your initial email. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt">I have attached a draft with a few changes we are proposing to the process. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt">Since among the SOs and ACs, only the GNSO is responsible for creating gTLD policies, we think the CCT Review Team membership should reflect that responsibility. Just as we would expect a community team reviewing
ccTLDs to have a majority of members from the ccNSO, we think a majority of the CCT Review Team should be comprised of members from the GNSO community. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt">It would be a mistake for the GNSO to apply the previous ATRT endorsement process and numbers to the new CCT Review. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt">Further, given the range of interests and expertise found in our community, we think it is appropriate, and important, to obtain the list of GNSO endorsements via the bottom-up process of constituency and
contracted party stakeholder group nominations. You will see in the attached draft that each constituency and contracted party stakeholder group may endorse 1 applicant, and one or two additional candidates whom each group could support, in the event that
the Council chooses to endorse two additional applicants to attain our diversity objectives. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt">If there is agreement, when sending our endorsement for these candidates to the selectors we think it is important to emphasize, the primary role the GNSO has regarding gTLDs, the importance of GNSO-endorsed
candidates filling a majority of CCT Review Team seats, and our expectation that — in populating this community review team — the selectors respect the GNSO's role and our applicant endorsements when selecting review team members. (In case you're unaware,
for the last AoC Review, the selectors partly ignored the GNSO's endorsements, appointing only half the candidates endorsed by the GNSO to the ATRT2).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

so to allow the SGs to meet & discuss their slate of candidates seeking endorsement. FOr those on the go, the key points are: (a) increasing the GNSO delegation to 8-10, and (b) tasking each SG to submit 0-2 candidates for endorsement.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt">Getting caught up on on this thread (in reverse order!) and agree with key points raised by Paul, Wolf & Volker. I concur with Wolf-Ulrich that we should shorten the list to preserve the weight & value of
GNSO endorsement, but to Paul’s point, having a slate of 4 candidates may have covered previous RTs, but will not provide sufficient coverage/balance here, as the CCT-RT disproportionately results from, and affects, the GNSO Community. Off the cuff, the right
number of candidates is probably 8-10, which would make this RT a bit larger than usual, with the GNSO delegation its largest component.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

we have enough people, to ensure balance across a range of factors, and that the representation of interests is fair. Seems more like 2 per SG to me.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">I think if we cast too broad a net and recommend too many candidates, the recommendation of the council will lose its punch. By focussing on a limited number of candidates, we truly endorse them.

Having one candidate from each SG makes sense as it ensures all SGs are represented.<br>

Is this an ICANN requirement? It seems to me that the GNSO will be disproportionately affected by the outcomes of the CCT Review, so unless self-limiting is required, I guess I don’t see the upside and would prefer to endorse as many candidates as possible
and just have the various groups lobby one level up for their people. Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this!</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">We are pleased to report that we received 72 applications from individuals interested in serving on the next review team under the Affirmation of Commitments (AoC) that will examine the impact of new gTLDS in
the areas of competition, consumer trust and consumer choice (CCT). Before final selection of the CCT Review Team is completed by the ICANN CEO and the GAC Chair, we are seeking endorsements from any SO/AC for those

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color:#1F497D">Is there a set allocation for SO/AC representatives?

of members that collectively have expertise covering the wide range of topics that are within the mandate of this review team. Past AoC review teams were comprised of approximately 16 members.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
