the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) organization (org) is pleased to invite you to nominate a representative and an alternate to the Proxy & Privacy Services (PPSAI) policy Implementation Review Team (IRT). </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">The implementation process is an ICANN org-driven exercise. ICANN org plans to employ the “Open + Representative Model” piloted on the Subsequent Procedures IRT and based on the

The goal is to provide a structure that allows for efficient resolution of issues that may occur.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">We kindly ask that the NPOC nominate up to one representative and up to one alternate to participate in the IRT. Please note, we are asking each of ICANN’s supporting organizations,
advisory committees, stakeholder groups and constituencies to nominate up to one representative and one alternate.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Putting forward a representative and alternate is optional; all members of the NPOC are welcome to join the IRT as participants. In fact, we urge anyone who is interested in being
selected as a representative to join the IRT as a participant first (</span><a href="https://www.icann.org/en/announcements/details/icann-seeks-volunteers-for-the-ppsai-implementation-review-team-20-05-2024-en"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1155CC">call
for volunteers</span></a><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">). As you will see below, the roles of participants and representatives are nearly identical, with the representatives’ main function being that of an information-bridge to their
community groups. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

nomination process and inform us of the nominees as soon as feasible.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p style="margin:0in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">While participants always speak in their own personal capacity, representatives are expected to speak on behalf of their constituency, stakeholder group, supporting organization,
or advisory committee. Therefore, a key part of the NPOC representative’s role will be to engage actively and consistently with their NPOC colleagues to ensure they can convey the NPOC viewpoints to the IRT. Please note, that this will require an efficient
process for representatives to inform and receive input from their respective groups. To put this into place will be the responsibility of each representative.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

the GNSO Liaison, in the Open + Representative model, shall take into consideration that members who are representatives are expected to express the viewpoint of their respective community groups and participants to express their own views. This does not impact
each member’s ability to raise any concern they may have, nor does it absolve ICANN org or the GNSO Council liaison from “exercis[ing] all reasonable efforts to resolve disagreements” within the IRT.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
