<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The purpose of the endorsement process, instead of the elimination through non-endorsement, is to let the selectors know who among the candidates are active participants in the GNSO who we believe are worth the
selector’s consideration. By limiting the number through non-endorsement (which will most certainly end someone’s candidacy), we are setting ourselves up to little to no representation in the process, especially in light of the fact that we have no idea what
other SO/AC’s are doing. The only safe route is to let each member entity identify whether or not their respective candidates are worthy of endorsement or not. If they are, those should be passed along to the selectors with our strong recommendation that
they select as many GNSO candidates as possible along with a complete cross section from the GNSO member entities so that the full range of voices is heard.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">I understand this process not as a selection or elimination rather than a limitation of endorsements. If the council just shifts all GNSO related applications with an “endorsed” stamp to the selectors: what
is the value of this role? I’m closer to the SG-nominations based model whereby there is flexibility with respect to the quantity of candidates: 0-2 seems reasonable.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">We kicked this around in the IPC leadership call today. We just see no upside in adopting a selection process when an endorsement process has been asked for. We believe that the Council should endorse as many
candidates as it believes are qualified to do that job. We shouldn’t be in the business of ranking through elimination (that is for the selectors to do) . Nor do we see any upside in limiting the number of GNSO candidates that go to the selectors since the
GNSO is the most affected by this process. This is all especially so in a knowledge-vacuum about what the other SO’s and AC’s may be doing with their process (for example, if they endorse instead of select through elimination, we could have a poor showing
indeed).</span><span style="color:windowtext"><ns0:p></ns0:p></span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="color:#1F497D">I agree that the Council should emphasise the primary role the GNSO has regarding gTLDs and that we believe it is important that GNSO-endorsed candidates fill a majority of the CCT Review Team seats.</span><span style="color:windowtext"><ns0:p></ns0:p></span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" style="color:#1F497D">However, I’m not sure I agree with limiting the endorsed candidates to 1 from each constituency and contracted party stakeholder group, I would rather see this returned to 0-2 candidates. The reason
being that the GNSO Council will not be endorsing a ‘slate’ of candidates, ie we will not be conducting a thorough selection process beyond geographic and gender diversity (I don’t support Stephanie’s notion that the Council review candidates based on merit--I’m
not sure we have the bandwidth or expertise to do so) and as such we need to provide some flexibility in the number of candidates that have GNSO endorsement so that we may increase the odds of greater representation. I say this because I don’t believe ICANN’s
CEO or GAC Chair will be under any obligation to select any candidates endorsed by the GNSO Council, which you noted was the case for the ATRT 2. Conversely, Fadi and Thomas may decide to discount candidates that have sought GNSO Council endorsement, but were
unable to do so and we need to account for this scenario as well.</span><span style="color:windowtext"><ns0:p></ns0:p></span><o:p></o:p></p>

that the Council chooses to endorse two additional applicants to attain our diversity objectives.

you're unaware, for the last AoC Review, the selectors partly ignored the GNSO's endorsements, appointing only half the candidates endorsed by the GNSO to the ATRT2).</span><span style="color:windowtext"><ns0:p></ns0:p></span><o:p></o:p></p>

& value of GNSO endorsement, but to Paul’s point, having a slate of 4 candidates may have covered previous RTs, but will not provide sufficient coverage/balance here, as the CCT-RT disproportionately results from, and affects, the GNSO Community. Off the
cuff, the right number of candidates is probably 8-10, which would make this RT a bit larger than usual, with the GNSO delegation its largest component.</span><span style="color:windowtext"><ns0:p></ns0:p></span><o:p></o:p></p>

Having one candidate from each SG makes sense as it ensures all SGs are represented.<br>

same limitations? Is this an ICANN requirement? It seems to me that the GNSO will be disproportionately affected by the outcomes of the CCT Review, so unless self-limiting is required, I guess I don’t see the upside and would prefer to endorse as many candidates
as possible and just have the various groups lobby one level up for their people. Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this!</span><span style="color:windowtext"><ns0:p></ns0:p></span><o:p></o:p></p>
