Who can join?

Membership of the Committee is open to all ccTLD managers (whether

Committee will be asked whether they want to continue to serve thereon.


SOPC members are expected to have the following skillset:

  	* Availability and commitment to investing up to eight to ten days
yearly. Please note that the work of the group (the workload) is not
spread evenly throughout the year, but concentrates around the periods
of public consultations of ICANN Operating Plan, Budget and Strategic
Plans.
	* Knowledge of ICANN internal corporate and  policy making processes,
including the ccNSO work, and willingness to learn more about the
subjects in the scope of the SOPC work and ICANN work.
	* Ability to work under time pressure and willingness to work at odd
hours/ days. Please note that public comment periods may fall on a
holiday season. The group encourages participation from all geographic
regions, but realizes this implies that some members may need to
participate at uncomfortable hours.
	* Good knowledge and record of dealing with strategic and budget
planning matters.
	* Ability to review financial data sets and extensive background
documents within tight deadlines.
	* Experience of (remote) working in teams and ability to collaborate in
a multicultural environment.
	* Good communication skills and a sufficient  command of English as the
working language of the group, including familiarity with basic
financial, corporate and  strategic management lexicon and terminology.
	* Good presentation skills are desirable.

Working method

The group meets through telephone conferences and face-to-face/virtual
meetings during the ICANN meetings. However, most work is done between
the telephone conferences and meetings.

About the SOPC
