<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>As I think everyone is aware,
Ken Silva, the RySG nominee for the AoC SSR RT who was selected to be on the
SSR RT, resigned from the RT because of a change in employment.  In
response to that, the RySG nominated two candidates as possible replacements as
can be seen below.  If there are no objections to this, in our meeting on
18 November we will acknowledge the RySG decision and send the names on to the
AoC SSR RT and in particular the Selectors, Rod and Heather for their decision.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Note that the SSR RT has already
started its work so it has been requested that the replacement be in place as
soon as possible.  To accommodate that, I requested that the RySG make a
decision today to meet our 8 day advance notice requirement for Council agenda
items.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>The approved GNSO procedures for
AoC RT endorsements call for each SG to nominate one candidate for each of the
RTs and that was done.  But those procedures do not describe what should
happen if a replacement is needed; that may be something we need to add to the
procedures in the future.  The RySG did not have time for a full process
to endorse just one candidate and, because both have outstanding
qualifications, endorsed both.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>If there are any questions on
this please, ask.  I will forward the qualifications of the two candidates
as submitted to the RySG.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
