Group compared to the original call for volunteers which took place in 2014. Furthermore you will find also attached the evaluation sheet that was used by the GNSO leadership as part of the previous selection process and which is expected to be used for this
round as well. </div><div> </div><div>If you have any comments and/or concerns, please feel free to share these with the mailing list. The idea is that the Council confirms during its next meeting its intent to convert this pilot project to a permanent role following which the call for volunteers
would be published as Mason Cole, the current liaison, has indicated that he is not available to continue in this position beyond the end of his term at the end of June 2016.
