[NCUC-EC] Statement of Interests NCUC Appointees at the NCSG EC

[David Cake]

I am strongly in favour of re-appointing Robin Gross. Obviously Robin’s experience is exceptional, I believe she is still engaged in the work of the EC, and I have great trust in her judgement. 

I do not have strong opinions on the other two candidates, and I would like to know more about Peter Akinremi’s involvement before making a decision. If any of the the EC have worked with them, I would appreciate sharing information (possibly confidentially would be appropriate rather than on a public list).

I have formerly served as NCSG’s Chair, NCUC’s Chair, and as the noncommercial representative to the GNSO Council when the 2007 New GTLD Policy was created and adopted.  I am intimately familiar with NCSG’s Charter as I was an active participant in its drafting and adoption.  Recently, I participated in an ICANN working group tasked with reforming ICANN’s bylaws and so am quite familiar with the bylaws and other ICANN governing instruments.  I have been an active participant in numerous ICANN GNSO working groups since 2004 and am presently a member of the leadership team in the New GTLD Subsequent Procedures Working Group.  I am extremely familiar with the NCSG membership process including its rules and the rationales behind the policies, and in 2017 I drafted NCSG’s operating procedures governing the NCSG membership removal or reclassification process.  I am an intellectual property rights attorney in San Francisco and am teaching International Intellectual Property Rights at Santa Clara University School of Law in Spring semester 2019.  My schedule is somewhat flexible and I am available to participate in regular teleconferences and in discussions on the NCSG-EC mailing list regarding NCSG-EC.  I am additionally available for any other discussions needed to advance the needs of NCUC and the NCSG-EC.  Thank you.

There was some marked disagreement within that subgroup as to the scope of its work. Nonetheless, I strove to gather consensus around specific action points and work on those. I got involved in drafting a part of the final recommendation, regarding choice of law in ICANN registry agreements.

During the summer of 2018, I along with a few members of the group, started a reflection on the operationalisation of the human rights bylaw, to which I contributed a short piece which got published on CircleID.

I participated in the drafting of two comments (Study on Technical Use of RZ Label Generation Rules and Draft IANA/PTI budget FY 2019). Following the latter comment, I have joined the finance committee which will seek to develop an expertise in tracking and reporting on ICANN financial matters. As for housekeeping, I have been, as part of the tech team, in touch with Farzaneh regarding technical matters, in order to solve the various back-end/front end issues with membership management software.
