[UA-discuss] [Ext] Re: ACTION REQUIRED by May 15, 2024 For Continuation of Your UASG Membership

Hi Seda

Thank you for the reminder regarding the completion of the SOI. I wanted to bring to your attention a concern regarding the mandatory requirement to provide a LinkedIn page or online professional profile (URL) on Institutional website* in the SOI form.

As you may be aware, several countries, including mine, have restricted access to LinkedIn and other social media platforms. This restriction means that individuals like myself are unable to create or access LinkedIn accounts. Consequently, we are unable to fulfill the mandatory LinkedIn URL requirement in the SOI form.

Also its completely a wrong expectation to have an individual working in any company will have online professional profile (URL) on Institutional website.

I believe that such a requirement could inadvertently exclude participants from regions where access to certain platforms is restricted or not have online professional profile (URL) on Institutional website. It would be highly beneficial if alternative options or exemptions could be considered for individuals facing these accessibility challenges.

Also its surprise to see why such information is made mandatory to be provided as this is not in any ICANN approved SOI formats in any SO or AC’s?

Also please share with us where and what all information collected by us will be displayed?

Hello Maxim,

Thank you for your feedback.

GNSO, RySG, RrSG, CPH are listed under the “Stakeholder Group” field. You should not select the “Other” for these.

I hope this addresses your comment. Feel free to let me know if you have further questions.

Kind regards

Seda

Hello Seda,

Please add the full list of constituencies to the form, from GNSO site

https://gnso.icann.org/en/about/stakeholders-constituencies [gnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/gnso.icann.org/en/about/stakeholders-constituencies__;!!PtGJab4!4swaZ9HDm40eyTlRvEhn442lfd1qBPRXum1vFT1IFRUm-4TSJ1WS6VZhGMDwfIN9uDAbVNDqCIK6N9cVKrH1fqj4VA$>

for example there is no CPH in the list of options (Contracted Party House = RySG+RrSG),

which basically represents most of the DNS infrastructure and

has relations with users of the system we create.

Currently Constituency in the form gives selection of

BC, IPC, ISPCP, NCUC, NPOC

P.s: I'd say GNSO is not just the other group in the community, it represents almost quite large part of the community, w

Sincerely Yours,
