There does not appear to be a limit on the number of people the ALAC can
endorse as members for this WG. I think we would be very well served by
having Vanda and Cheryl and anyone else who has the background in the GNSO
PDP and will commit the time as I know these ladies will, to give quality
input into the expected tasks of this group on our behalf.

I myself will opt in as an observer because of my interest in the topic...
unfortunately the day job is intruding into my voluntary time... 😕

>>
>>    - Clarify, amend or override existing policy principles,
>>    recommendations, and implementation guidance;
>>    - Develop new policy recommendations;
>>    - Supplement or develop new implementation guidance.
>>
>> As part of the PDP WG deliberations, the PDP WG should consider at a

>> have been organized in groupings suggested by the DG that may facilitate
>> deliberations on related subjects. However, additional work methods, such

>> by the PDP WG may be more appropriate to undertake the work.
>>
>> In addition to the work of the PDPWG, a number of new gTLD review

>> work products and milestones will be documented on the WG's wiki
>> <https://community.icann.org/display/NGSPP/New+gTLD+Subsequent+Procedures+PDP+Home>.

>>    ICANN community. Members are expected to actively contribute to
>>    mailing list conversations as well as meetings – it is anticipated that the
>>    PDP WG will at a minimum meet on a weekly basis via teleconference.
>>    Members are expected to provide essential input to the process. Members
>>    will be required to provide a Statement of Interests (SOI
>>    <https://community.icann.org/display/gnsosoi/New+SOIs>).
>>    - *Mailing list observers* – for those who are merely interested in
>>    monitoring the WG's conversations, there is the possibility to sign
>>    up as a mailing list "observer" which offers read-only access to the
>>    mailing list. Mailing list observers will not be permitted to post, will
>>    not receive invitations to the various meetings or calls of the WG
>>    and will not have to complete a Statement of Interest. At any point in
>>    time, a mailing list observer can join the WG as a member simply by
>>    informing the GNSO Secretariat.
>>
>> In addition, there will be opportunities to provide input through public
>> consultations and public comment processes that the PDP WG is expected
>> to organize.
>> How to Join
>>
>> If you are interested in joining the WG as an individual participant or
>> mailing list observer, please fill in the sign up form
>> <http://goo.gl/forms/FRNZ4pSQl9> or send the PDF document
>> <http://gnso.icann.org/en/issues/new-gtlds/subsequent-procedures-pdp-27jan16-en.pdf>
>> [PDF, 76 KB] filled in to the GNSO Secretariat <gnso-secs at icann.org>.
>>
>> All members and observers will be listed on the PDP WG's wiki page.
>> Next Steps
>>
>> In its motion, the GNSO Council directed that this call for volunteers
>> be circulated as widely as possible in order to ensure broad representation
>> and participation in the WG. This call will remain open until the PDP WG
>> convenes for the first time. At this juncture, it is anticipated that the
>> PDP WG may convene online in late February 2016. Following that, regular
>> online meetings will be scheduled in accordance with the PDP WG's work
>> plan, which it is expected to develop as one of its first tasks.
>> Further Information and Preparation
>>
>> For those interested in volunteering for this effort, you are strongly
>> encouraged to review the following materials prior to the first meeting of
>> the PDP WG.

>>
>> Background
>>
>> In 2005, the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) began a Policy
>> Development Process (PDP) to consider the introduction of new gTLDs. The
>> two-year PDP process resulted in a set of 19 GNSO policy recommendations
>> for implementing new gTLDs. In order to implement the policy
>> recommendations of the GNSO, a number of draft Applicant Guidebooks
>> (AGBs) were developed by ICANN staff in consultation with the
>> community.In June 2011, ICANN's Board of Directors approved the final
>> AGB and authorized the launch of the New gTLD Program.
>>
>> The New gTLD Program application window opened on 12 January 2012 and a
>> total of 1930 complete applications were received. The first set of Initial
>> Evaluation results were released on 22 March 2013, followed by the first
>> set of new gTLD delegations on 21 October 2013.
>>
>> All applications have now completed the evaluation process and as of mid
>> January 2016, there are nearly 900 gTLDs delegated and approximately 450
>> applications still proceeding through the remaining steps of the program.
>> Although the 2012 round is ongoing, efforts to examine the round have
>> already begun, which included the creation of the GNSO New gTLD
>> Subsequent Procedures Discussion Group (DG)
>> <http://gnso.icann.org/en/group-activities/inactive/2015/non-pdp-new-gtld>.
>> The DG was created by the GNSO Council to discuss the experiences gained
>> from the 2012 round of the New gTLD Program and to identify subjects
>> that might lead to changes or adjustments for subsequent application
>> procedures. The DG prepared its final deliverables, which included a set of
>> subjects that it anticipated would be analyzed in detail in the context of
>> an Issue Report. On 24 June 2015 the GNSO Council passed a resolution
>> requesting the drafting of a Preliminary Issue Report on New gTLD
>> Subsequent Procedures.
>>
>> In accordance with the PDP Rules, the Preliminary Issue Report was
>> published for public comment on 31 August 2015. Following review of the
>> public comments received, the Staff Manager updated the Issue Report
>> accordingly and submitted the Final Issue Report to the GNSO Council for
>> its consideration. The GNSO Council officially initiated the PDP on New
>> gTLD Subsequent Procedures on 17 December 2015, followed by adoption of
>> the PDP WG's charter on 21 January 2016.
