So far, I think everyone who has commented supports Tim's suggestion
that there should be four GNSO members on the Whois RT and most seem to
support a default of one rep per SG for all RTs. I personally think
that we might maximize our chances of getting four on the Whois RT if we
concede to having two on the SSR RT and also think that it is fairly
easy to make a strong case for that.
The Case for Four on the Whois RT
Whereas Internet users across the whole ICANN community are impacted by
Whois policy, I don't think there is any doubt that GNSO constituents
are impacted the most. It is gTLD registrants whose data is displayed
and used. It is gTLD contracted parties who are required to implement
Whois and who best understand the customer service and operational
issues related to Whois offerings. It is commercial gTLD registrants
whose businesses are affected when IP rights are violated. It is
noncommercial users who have most often pointed out the need for privacy
of Whois information and noncommercial organizations that are impacted
in similar ways as commercial businesses.
In addition, because of the GNSO's long and belabored Whois policy
development history and varied Whois operational offerings, the GNSO has
the best source of Whois experts from various points of view. There is
also good evidence that each SG provides a unique area of expertise and
represents different points of view with regard to Whois policy.
The Case for Two on the SSR RT
I believe that the SSR RT requires a higher degree of technical
expertise than policy expertise and is less dependent on SG areas of
focus. I also believe that the GNSO community as well as the ICANN
community is much more united in terms of SSR issues and hence
representation from different sectors may not necessarily produce
significantly different contributions, especially when compared to a
topic like Whois. Particularly with regard to the GNSO, if each SG
endorses one candidate for the SSR team as proposed, I suspect that the
SSR RT would not be negatively impacted if the Selectors choose a RrSG
candidate over a RySG candidate or a NCSG candidate over a CSG candidate
or any other comparison because all of us will likely be putting forth
strong security experts.
The SSR RT may be an area where external experts may be especially
helpful. By having fewer reps from SOs and ACs, space may be available
for a few more experts.
My Conclusion
I suggest that I make the case for four GNSO reps on the Whois RT and
agree to two on the SSR team. This might set a good precedent for
asking for four on the New gTLD RT because that, like Whois, is a big
GNSO issue and one that there are clear variances in points of view from
each SG.

I agree with Tim's arguments and suggestion for a
response, and in addition support Bill's suggestion that all RTs start
with a default distribution of 1 rep per SG from the GNSO (with
deviations being explained and justified according to each RT
scope/topic).

Hi
It would be interesting to hear the rationale for reverting to the
original proposal of tiny unrepresentative RTs. In any event, I
strongly agree with Tim that there really has to be four for WHOIS, the
perspectives of the SGs are just too variable for any two to represent
the others, and the whole process could become a focal point of
controversy. Same goes for the pending RT on competition and consumer
issues. As for security, I agree that two may be relatively less
problematic, but only relatively... it's more difficult to judge ex ante
what level of agreement there is or isn't here across some SGs on the
various issues.
It'd be a lot easier if they'd just default to four across the board in
order to ensure community representation and diverse skill sets at the
table, rather than turning RT size into a needless source of angst.
