I am still unclear about how these DTs are being created. The
guidelines published on <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://community.icann.org/x/pAknAw">https://community.icann.org/x/pAknAw</a> say the
following:<br>
<br>
<p><font color="#3333ff"><strong><em>Composition </em></strong></font></p>
<p><font color="#3333ff">The proposal for a Design Team must
include:</font></p>
<ul>
<li><font color="#3333ff">A lead participant responsible for
delivering the work product to the CWG</font></li>
<li><font color="#3333ff">A list of potential participants as well
as their Statement of Interest (SOI) and qualification for the
design team (1 paragraph)</font></li>
</ul>
<p><font color="#3333ff">The Design Team Lead is responsible for
coordinating the work, updating the CWG at its weekly meetings
and most importantly delivering the results.</font></p>
<p><font color="#3333ff">Unless there are clear requirements to the
contrary a Design Team should typically involve [5] participants
but not more than [7].</font></p>
<br>
Yet, I do not understand how the "list of potential participants" is
put together. Is there a public call for participants? If there
isn't then how is someone to know this DT is being created? Indeed,
absent a call for participants, I would say we run the risk of
creating unbalanced Design Teams. I totally understand the skillsets
needed for the Design Teams but when I say "unbalanced", I mean that
a group of people wishing to push one particular agenda forward
could create a Design Team.<br>
<br>
I would therefore appreciate clarification from the Co-Chairs
regarding the "list of potential participants".<br>
<br>
Kindest regards,<br>
