[NCSG-Discuss] [liaison6c] ICANN announces members of the Expert Working Group on gTLD Directory Services (EWG)

[Avri Doria]

Hi,

Do we have privacy experts who applied and were rejected.  I noticed the following:

"
Additional members may be added to the Expert Working Group to provide special areas of expertise and knowledge (e.g. privacy).
"

on the announcement site. <http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-14feb13-en.htm>

Maybe some ought to get involved.

The EWG is the first step in fulfilling the ICANN Board's directive to help redefine the purpose and provision of gTLD registration data. This project is designed to provide a foundation for the creation of a new global policy for gTLD directory services, and requisite contract negotiations, as appropriate.
