 Hi Bill,


Unfortunately, extending the deadline is simply not possible given the
deadlines provided by the Board in the resolution and the work that
needs to be done.  Moreover, a large number of people from
almost every constituency and some of the ACs had already contacted IPC
members about participating and had been provided similar information to
that set forth below.  I posted the message
 below in an effort to provide the information for dissemination to
those who had not already contacted IPC members.
As for the Board's intent, I believe the language of the resolution speaks
for itself.

Hi Kristina,
Thanks for this information, which I've just passed on to NCUC.  However, I
would strongly suggest that we extend the deadline to Monday or Tuesday.
 Notification at 11pm on the 11th of a 13th noon deadline is a very
unworkable turnaround time if we are serious about getting strong applicants
and engagement from all constituencies, as the board intends.  Some people
might not be reading mail today or be able to determine so quickly whether
the workload fits with their schedule etc.

Thanks,

Bill

 All,

Because we've received a number of inquiries about nominations for IRT
participants, we thought it would be helpful to provide the information
below.

Nominations for IRT participants should be sent to Steve Metalitz (IPC
President), Ute, Cyril or me.  Steve's email address is not on the Council
page or the IPC home page so please contact me off-list if you would like
it.

The nominations must include:

1.  The full name and contact information of the nominee (including the name
of her/his employer and title);
2.  The ICANN Geographic Region(s) in which the nominee is a citizen and is
a resident;
3.  Identification of the nominee's knowledge, experience, and expertise in
the fields of trademark, consumer protection, or competition law, and the
interplay of trademarks and the domain name system;

4.  Identification of any financial ownership or senior
management/leadership interest of the nominee in registries, registrars or
other entities that are stakeholders or interested parties in ICANN or any
entity with which ICANN has a transaction, contract, or other arrangement;

5.  State if the nominee would be representing any other party or person
through her/his IRT participation and, if so, identify that party or person;
and

6.  State if the nominee submitted public comments on the first draft of the
DAG that provided proposed solutions to the trademark issues and, if so,
attach a copy of those comments.

*We must receive all nominations not later than Friday, 13 March, at noon
EDT***.  Because of the deadlines set forth by the Board in the resolution,
it will be exceedingly difficult to consider any nominations submitted after
that point.  Also, based on very preliminary time lines, IRT participants
should expect to spend* at least* 15 full business days (excluding travel
time) in the next two months on the team's work.

Kristina
