[Aftld-members] [ccnso-members] Call for Expressions of Interest: Community Representatives Group to Select Independent Review Process Standing Panel

[barrack at aftld.org]

Dear All,

ICANN, in consultation with ICANN's Supporting Organizations and
Advisory Committees, is seeking Expressions of Interest for appointment
to a new Community Representatives Group. The Community Representatives
Group will select a slate of nominees for an omnibus Standing Panel that
will hear and resolve disputes filed under the Independent Review
Process (IRP) described in the ICANN Bylaws [1]. Nominations made by the
Community Representatives Group are subject to confirmation by the ICANN
Board of Directors.

The deadline for Expressions of Interest to serve on the IRP Community
Representatives Group is Friday 4 December 2020 at 23:59 UTC. The IRP
Community Representatives Group is expected to represent a diversity of
stakeholders and interests and comprise between seven and fifteen
members. Collectively, the IRP Community Representatives Group must
possess:

  	* Experience in selecting board members or similar officers,
appointees with fiduciary duties, or service on a nominating committee
for such selections.
	* Experience working with recruitment firms and managing vendors.
	* Relevant organizational and process experience (e.g., the ability to
understand and evaluate the standing panelist criteria and responses,
which includes legal and arbitration experience).
	* Understanding of the IRP and its role as an ICANN accountability
mechanism.
	* Ability to work in a small team across multiple time zones.
	* Ability to commit considerable time and effort to the selection
process over a short but concentrated time period.

Candidates interested in serving on the Community Representatives Group
should review the Terms of Reference [2] for the IRP Community
Representatives Group prior to submitting their applications. This
document includes the following information:

  	* Required skills and experience.
	* Scope of work of IRP Community Representatives Group.
	* Time commitment details.

Expressions of Interest for appointment to the IRP Community
Representatives Group should be submitted to
irp-standing-panel at icann.org. Expressions of Interest will be reviewed
by the specific Supporting Organization or Advisory Committee whose
endorsement is requested by the applicant. An application that does not
specify the Supporting Organization or Advisory Committee from whom an
applicant is seeking endorsement will not be considered. Applications
must be accompanied by a current curriculum vitae and evidence of your
qualifications to serve on the Community Representatives Group on behalf
of a specific Supporting Organization or Advisory Committee.

By submitting your personal data, you acknowledge that your personal
data will be processed in accordance with the ICANN Privacy Policy [3],
and you agree to abide by the electronic Terms of Service [4].

ICANN IRP Background

ICANN's IRP is a form of arbitration, which provides for independent
third-party review of ICANN actions alleged by an affected party to be
inconsistent with the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws. The IRP is an
essential accountability mechanism to hold the ICANN Board and
organization accountable, and the seating of a Standing Panel to hear
these claims is an important component to achieve consistent, binding
outcomes. ICANN committed through its Bylaws that the ICANN community
has a role in identifying the final composition of the Standing Panel
slate. Additional information on the IRP Standing Panel is available
here. [5]

Best regards.
