> Dear Colleagues,
> 
> The IAB (on behalf of the IETF) has been asked to supply two technical
> experts to ICANN Technical Liaison Group (TLG).  The ICANN Bylaws
> (Article XI-A, Section 2, Paragraph 6) asks the IETF, ITU-T, ETSI, and
> W3C to each provide two technical experts.  The technical experts are
> expected to be "familiar with the technical standards issues that are
> relevant to ICANN's activities." These eight experts are expected to be
> "available as necessary to determine, through an exchange of e-mail
> messages, where to direct a technical question from ICANN when ICANN
> does not ask a specific TLG organization directly.
> 
> The ICANN bylaws can be found at
> http://www.icann.org/en/about/governance/bylaws.

> 
> The IAB will select from the available candidates, taking into account
> the familiarity with ICANN and the IETF, their roles, and the IETF
> protocols.  While familiarity with ETSI, ITU-T, and W3C is also
> desirable, it is not required.  The selected candidates will serve on
> the ICANN TLG on personal title; however, the IAB will be looking for
> candidates who have an understanding of the interests of the technical
> community.
> 
> The IAB will select one person for a one year term and select one person
> for a two year term.
> 
> The ICANN TLG is expected to meet in person at or around the three ICANN
> meetings held each year.
