GAC Appointments

Last Updated: 24 Aug 2023
Status: Active
Lead: Robert Hoggarth

Introduction:

 

Involvement in most ICANN community policy-related activities is open to all GAC participants based on their individual, country/territorial or organizational interest as, in those activities, their participation is generally made as individuals and not as a representative of the GAC or any of its positions.

 

From time to time, the GAC is invited (as an ICANN Advisory Committee) to make appointments to various ICANN org operational groups, activities and other community work efforts. In some of those situations, there may be an assigned or limited number of seats for GAC community participation where a volunteer from a government or intergovernmental body is of particular interest or value either for experience, perspective, topic familiarity or diversity considerations. In those types of situations, it is possible for there to be more volunteers than seats and the GAC Leadership is then faced with a choice from among a group of volunteer candidates. 

 

To foster transparency and consistency of process, beginning in 2020, the GAC Leadership established an array of potential selection criteria to help them decide which volunteers to select for the roles that may become available for volunteer interest.

 

Considerations for Selection:

 

When a request is received seeking a GAC appointee, the full GAC membership is informed of the volunteer opportunity. In situations where more volunteers than available slots are received and there are otherwise no defined criteria for eligibility, the GAC Leadership considers the following array of criteria when trying to determine an appointee, liaison or representative from among a group of volunteer candidates:  These criteria can include:

  • Basic Eligibility limited to GAC delegates (e.g., an official GAC representative or formally identified member of a delegation)
  • Appointee Experience (past or current service as a GAC appointee considered)
  • Subject Matter Expertise (regarding topic of the work effort for which one has volunteered)
  • Incumbency for the position being filled (experience or fresh perspective are both valid considerations)
  • Diversity (e.g., geographical or other considerations to ensure general leadership balance at the time of appointment)
  • Participation (how active are the various volunteers in GAC work efforts)

These criteria will be shared with the GAC Membership and may be modified from time to time.

The current GAC appointee positions subject to these criteria going forward are as follows:
