The ccNSO seeks volunteers for the ccNSO Outreach & Involvement Standing Committee (OISC). The OISC is a new committee, established as a standing committee to ensure:

  • ccTLDs awareness of and involvement in the aforementioned efforts.

The call for volunteers will close on Friday, 12 March 2021 (23:59 UTC).

Next Steps

After closure of the call for volunteers, Expressions of Interest will be reviewed by the ccNSO Council, who is expected to appoint the committee members. Note that only complete applications arriving prior to the deadline will be considered.

Once the members have been appointed, the ccNSO Secretariat will send the members a link to an online Public Data Consent Form. Via this form, members consent to ICANN processing data in order to be appointed as member to the committee and to be subscribed to the relevant mailing list(s). The form explains the information ICANN will process to administer participation and how the information will be used for this purpose. It also describes the rights members have regarding their information. The OISC is expected to meet for the first-time post ICANN70.
