>  ICANN Board Appoints New GNSO Council Members
>
> 11 October 2009
>
> At its 30 September Board meeting, the ICANN Board of Directors appointed
> three individuals to serve as Non-Commercial Stakeholder Group (NCSG)
> representatives on the new Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO)
> Council:
>
>    - Mohammed Rafik Dammak – Tunisia
>    - Rosemary Sinclair – Australia
>    - Debra Hughes – United States
>
> The Board's Structural Improvements Committee (SIC) considered applications
> from a talented and diverse group of volunteers, conducted extensive due
> diligence, carefully reviewed the applicants, and recommended to the full
> Board the slate of three candidates to serve on the GNSO Council for the
> next two years. Under the terms of the NCSG transitional charter approved by
> the Board on 30 July 2009, three of the six NCSG representatives on the new
> GNSO Council were to be selected/appointed by the Board of Directors.  The
> newly structured GNSO Council will hold its first meeting in Seoul, South
> Korea on 28 October 2009.
>
> The three individuals were recommended by the SIC based on the combination
> of their skills, experience, background, knowledge, passion and ability to
> help build non-commercial participation and contribute to the work of the
> GNSO. The committee paid particular attention to the candidates’ ability to
> contribute to diversity of geographic representation on the Council.
>
> Collectively, the appointees bring a wide range of skills and experience to
> the new Council. Mr. Dammak is a research student in Interdisciplinary
> Information Studies at Sakamura Laboratory, University of Tokyo where he is
> conducting research on ubiquitous computing. He is an active participant in
> IETF, IGF, the Creative Commons community and several ICANN projects that
> have served to focus his attention on technology, IDNs and community
> participation matters. His work in the IGF has been directed towards issues
> involving public participation capabilities and he has many productive
> relationships throughout Africa and the Middle East.
>
> Ms. Hughes is currently Senior Counsel for the American Red Cross (ARC),
> the world’s largest humanitarian organization, where she advises the
> organization on various matters related to consumer privacy and consumer
> protection. She also works closely with the ARC’s information technology and
> information security teams to manage on-line matters and other Internet
> issues and she has broad career experience serving non-profit organizations.
>
>
> Ms. Sinclair is the Chair of the International Telecommunications Users
> Group (INTUG) and Managing Director of the Australian Telecommunications
> Users Group (ATUG). She is a member of the group responsible for recently
> creating the Australian Communications Consumer Action Network and has
> committed much of her recent efforts to high-speed broadband deployment in
> Australia and in other parts of the Asia/Pacific region.
>
> The ICANN Board has approved a comprehensive set of recommendations to
> improve the structure and operations of the GNSO. At its core, the objective
> of the GNSO review process has been to identify ways to improve the
> inclusiveness and representativeness of the GNSO's work while increasing the
> effectiveness and efficiency of the policy development process. The
> restructuring of the GNSO Council is only one of several major components of
> the independent review/restructuring effort.
>
> This improvement effort is part of ICANN's own ongoing commitment to evolve
> and improve all of its activities, and follows extensive independent review
> efforts and extensive public consultation.
