<DIV>Hi Susan -</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You are correct, and I do recall the Council's conversation in Marrakesh,
but the group didn’t come to a decision either way. Referencing the
selection process and criteria contained in the "Call for Candidates"(attached)
that was adopted by the Council and distributed by Glen to the SGs and Cs, we
note under “skills and experience” that:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><I><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; FONT-FAMILY: calibri">* Significant
experience in and knowledge of the GNSO policy development process as well as of
recent and current policy work under discussion and / or review in the
GNSO</SPAN> </I></DIV>
<DIV>And</DIV>
<DIV><I><SPAN
style='FONT-SIZE: 11pt; FONT-FAMILY: calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS Mincho"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language: en-us; mso-fareast-language: en-us; mso-bidi-language: ar-sa'>*
A former or recently departed GNSO Councilor is likely to be well-qualified for
the position but this is not a necessary criterion for the
Liaison.</SPAN></I></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>With the first being held up as a requirement, and the second expressed
more as a “plus”. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In our current situation, I can report that we received one submission, and
it did not meet ether criteria. This could be because the candidate lacks
the requested experience, or because their submitted Expression of Interest was
incomplete. We also received a handful (~3) verbal inquiries from other
candidates, but those were later withdrawn. In all scenarios, I
believe our selection would benefit from extending the call for candidates and
evaluation through ICANN 57.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If it the consensus of the Council is that we now publish the submission
received (including the candidate’s name), then I would ask Council to grant me
the opportunity to go back to that candidate and obtain their consent, and that
publication of the EOI should only proceed if the candidate agrees. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks—</DIV>

<DIV>Hi James, </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We had a brief discussion about this in Marrakech and I didn’t understand
why this had to be secretive at that time. Who would make the
selection if we had enough candidates? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The CCT review team had over 70 applicants and everyone knows who applied
and who was selected on the team. </DIV>

<DIV>Hi Paul -</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Even if we had received a greater response and stuck with the original time
line, the published Evaluation & Selection process did not envision
disclosing the names of those volunteers who were not selected. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I think that still applies, and we should not publish names on a public

change the reception of the Liaison by the GAC if that person were ultimately
selected in the Fall.</DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: calibri, sans-serif; COLOR: black">Recently
we closed the nomination period for candidates interested in being considered
for the role of GNSO Liaison to the GAC. Unfortunately, the response from
the GNSO community was underwhelming. The Vice Chairs and I believe that
this may be at least partly attributable to the timing of the announcement, as
more candidates could be interested in the role if it coincided with the terms
of other elected and appointed positions, which is the conclusion of the AGM in
Hyderabad.</SPAN><SPAN style="COLOR: black"><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: calibri, sans-serif; COLOR: black">Therefore,
with this in mind, I’d like to propose that we postpone the selection of a new
GNSO – GAC Liaison until later in the fall, with the (rough) timeline listed
below. It is expected that the additional time will generate renewed
attention to the role, additional expressions of interest from prospective
candidates, and permanently align the term of this position with that of other
terms, including most Councilors.</SPAN><SPAN
