BACKGROUND
On 10 March 2016, the ICANN Board transmitted to the U.S. National
Telecommunications and Information Agency (NTIA) a package of
proposals<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/iana-stewardship-transition-package-10mar16-en.pdf>developed
by the international Internet community to transition NTIAâs stewardship of
the IANA functions to the global multistakeholder community.
One of the things that this package calls for is the creation of a Customer
Standing Committee (CSC) to provide operational oversight of the performance of
the IANA naming function, a role currently performed by NTIA. The scope and
responsibility of the CSC is available
here<https://www.icann.org/iana_imp_docs/43-csc-scope-and-responsibilities-v-v2>.
The membership composition of the CSC, as specified in the package of
proposals, includes one Liaison appointed by the At-Large Advisory Committee
(ALAC), who will serve an inaugural three-year term.
Liaisons shall not be members or be entitled to vote on the CSC, but otherwise
shall be entitled to participate on equal footing with members of the CSC.
Participation in the CSC is voluntary. The CSC is expected to perform the
majority of its work telephonically and via email. Travel funding will not be
provided.
PROCESS
The ALAC is responsible for appointing a primary and a secondary candidate that
meet the qualification requirements in the expression of interest, and are
geographically diverse. The ALAC should forward the Liaison candidates to the
CSC for consideration no later than 23:59 UTC on 22 July 2016.
The Membership Selection Process of the CSC Charter calls for due consideration
to be given, to the extent possible, to form a CSC that has diversity in terms
of geography and skill set. To that end, the composition of the slate will be
reviewed during two points in the selection process: firstly by the RySG and
ccNSO and secondly by the ccNSO and GNSO.
The ccNSO and GNSO Councils will also make a decision regarding which members
and liaisons will serve an inaugural three-year term.
The ccNSO and GNSO Councils will notify ICANN and the appointing organizations
of the final composition of the CSC. The notification will take place on or
around 10 August 2016.
