Hi Donna and everyone,
The expectation is that the Council should make the call, since those
appointed would be representing the GNSO in the working group.
Thanks and cheers

>> Please find attached the resumes, as submitted to us, of the six candidates

>>
>>
>>
>> From what I understand from my colleagues in charge of the project, they

>>
>>
>>
>> As noted previously, the original suggested number of three GNSO experts was
>> based on the composition of prior community teams that worked on the
>> Guidelines. The Council may therefore wish to endorse more than three for
>> this new effort if it believes this to be appropriate.
>>
>>
>>
>> I have cc¹d Sarmad Hussain, who you all know and who is leading the effort,
>> on this email so that he can see any questions you may have about the process
>> or the necessary qualifications for the work that is to be done. I¹ll be sure
>> to post any responses or further information from him as well.

>>> I write to follow up on the note below, to request that the Council discuss

>>> * Chris Dillon (NCSG)
>>> * Christian Dawson (ISPCPC)
>>> * Jian Zhang (RySG)
>>> * Dennis Tan (RySG)
>>> * Edmon Chung (RySG)
>>> * Kal Feher (RySG)
>>> ICANN staff supporting this new Working Group has confirmed that the
>>> original number of three GNSO representatives to the Working Group was
>>> suggested based on the composition of earlier groups that reviewed the
>>> Guidelines, so the Council may endorse additional appointees if necessary.
>>> However, it is important that all GNSO-endorsed appointees have relevant
>>> expertise in the following areas, as relevant for the second level of the
>>> DNS:
>>> * DNS and IDNA protocols
>>> * IDN language or script tables, including variants and label level rules
>>> * IDN policy
>>> * IDN implementation
>>> * IDN label registration process and registration data
>>> * IDN related SSR issues, including string similarity
>>> * IDN usability challenges and universal acceptance
>>> Three of the four RySG nominees have already kindly provided staff with
>>> their resumes/qualifications.
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>> As the IDN Program staff would like to proceed with the formation of the
>>> Working Group (which will also have representatives from the ccNSO, ALAC and
>>> SSAC), it will be very much appreciated if the Council can reach a decision
>>> soon. Given that the next Council meeting will not take place till

>>> compile them into a packet for your review by next week. Please let us know
>>> if you have objections to this suggested approach.
