<a href="https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2020-07-23-en">extended the deadline</a> for submissions of expressions of interest (EOI) to serve as a panelist on ICANN’s Independent Review Process (IRP) Standing Panel EOI to 31 August 2020 to allow more
time for interested candidates to apply. While ICANN org has conducted extensive outreach to socialize the Call for EOI, we</span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black;background:white"> need your help in circulating the

</span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">(such as international dispute associations, corporate governance, technology practices, Internet related security and stability practices) with members who may have the qualifications and interest
to serve as Panelists, please send them the information on the Call for EOI</span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black;background:white">. As the ICANN Community has highlighted the need for Standing Panelists to be independent from ICANN
and its SOs and ACs, please focus your outreach efforts to those outside of the ICANN Community.</span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black;background:white"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
