It represents a dysfunctional swelling of the MRT to unwieldy proportions, and a politicization of its function. The purpose of MRT is not to optimize ease of representation for the GAC, nor is it to maximize “global engagement” in a non-policy making entity. It is a contracting authority for the IANA functions. Global engagement comes in the policy process. We need to stop thinking of the MRT as something that represents diverse policy views. I see no reason why a single GAC representative is not sufficient to provide the kind of oversight needed to determine whether governments think the IANA contractor is doing an acceptable job. If the GAC can aggregate its views enough to elect a single chair, or to write a single communique, why can it not select a single MRT representative?<o:p></o:p></span></font></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;

The composition is structured and balanced to ensure that the MRT embodies a strong commitment to efficient and neutral administration of the DNS root zone rather than any specific policy agenda. Safeguards must be in place to ensure that it is independent of ICANN corporate but also cannot be captured or unduly influenced by governments, intergovernmental organizations, or specific economic interests. The MRT should draw most of its ICANN community members from ICANN’s GNSO and ccNSO, with the GNSO forwarding 4 (1 member for each Stakeholder Group), and the ccNSO forwarding 5 (1 for each world region). The root server operators should also be represented on the MRT with 2 positions. Each ICANN Advisory Committee (GAC, SSAC and ALAC) should appoint 2 members. There should be 4 independent experts external to the ICANN community selected through a public nomination process administered by [who? ISOC? IEEE?] but subject to conflict of interest constraints. Additionally, 2 non-voting but fully participating liaisons from the other operational communities should be appointed (by ASO for numbers and by IAB for protocols) to facilitate coordination across the different IANA functions. MRT members should be appointed for limited terms sized appropriate to the contract renewal cycle.</span></font><font size="2" color="#1f497d" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); "><o:p></o:p></span></font></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 0.5in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "><a name="_MailEndCompose"></a><font size="2" color="#1f497d" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); "> </span></font></div><div style="border-style: none none none solid; border-left-width: 1.5pt; border-left-color: blue; padding: 0in 0in 0in 4pt; "><div><div style="border-style: solid none none; border-top-width: 1pt; border-top-color: rgb(225, 225, 225); padding: 3pt 0in 0in; "><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 0.5in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "><b><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; ">From:</span></font></b><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "> </span></font><a href="mailto:cwg-stewardship-bounces@icann.org" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114); text-decoration: underline; "><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">cwg-stewardship-bounces@icann.org</span></font></a><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>[</span></font><a href="mailto:cwg-stewardship-bounces@icann.org" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114); text-decoration: underline; "><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">mailto:cwg-stewardship-bounces@icann.org</span></font></a><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">]<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b><span style="font-weight: bold; ">On Behalf Of<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></b>Guru Acharya<br><b><span style="font-weight: bold; ">Sent:</span></b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Friday, December 12, 2014 6:07 AM<br><b><span style="font-weight: bold; ">To:</span></b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></font><a href="mailto:cwg-stewardship@icann.org" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114); text-decoration: underline; "><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">cwg-stewardship@icann.org</span></font></a><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold; ">Subject:</span></b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>[CWG-Stewardship] Composition of MRT<o:p></o:p></span></font></div></div></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 0.5in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 12pt; "> </span></font></div><div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 0.5in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 12pt; ">The CWG is yet to decide the composition of the MRT.
