This is a great idea.  When it ramps up, the AoC review teams will be a key ongoing mechanism for assessing ICANN and its activities, and NCUC/SG will be continually in need of expert nominees who can bring a public interest perspective to the proceedings.  Having a process in place to identify and recruit applicants would be really helpful; sign me up, Brenden.

Cheers,

Bill

I am happy to report that all NCSG's endorsements were approved, i.e. our nominations of NCUC/SG's Willie Currie (South Africa) for the allocated slot and Hakikur Rahman (Bangladesh) for the open competitive slot, as well as of Elaine Pruis (USA) for the unaffiliated competitive slot.  The voting alignment was pretty straightforward: in both cases, the RgySG, RgrSG, NCSG, and NCAs voted yes, and the CSG voted no.  :-)

But we came reasonably, and even surprisingly, close.  It may well be that when the drafting team revisits the issues to establish a permanent GNSO RT application process, we will have to relax the rules slightly; it is clear that there will significant if not uniform demand for this from other SGs.  But that's for later.
