ICANN : Seeking Panel Members for New gTLD Public Interest Commitment Dispute Resolution
ICANN plans to expand the Standing Panel responsible for administering the Public Interest Commitment Dispute Resolution Procedure (PICDRP), which supports the New gTLD Program.
Parties with relevant experience and the desire to serve the Internet community are invited to submit expressions of interest.
“PICDRP Standing Panel members play an important role in upholding the integrity of the Domain Name industry and protecting the public interest,” said Akram Atallah, president of ICANN’s Global Domains Division.
The PICDRP is designed to serve the interests of the Internet community. When a report arises alleging that a registry has violated its public interest commitment(s) as outlined in its contract with ICANN, members of the PICDRP Standing Panel can be called upon to review the report, and if necessary, recommend remedies to ICANN. Therefore, all Standing Panel members must be impartial and independent.

Contract interpretation
Cross-cultural issues
Cyber security
