<div>Folks - Perhaps we could all step back just a bit and reset the conversation on this topic.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>A reminder that the proposal on the table calls for an extension through ICANN57. More time could lead to additional candidates, and could also be an opportunity for our current candidate to amend/augment his submission. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Donna, Heather and I are working with Staff to follow the process that was adopted by the Council, and tracks closely to the selection process used last time around. But we are not bound by tradition, and if the Council wants to amend the process, then
an extension also benefits us, in granting an opportunity to make changes (re: expectations of confidentiality, qualifications sought, etc.).</div>

<p>Frankly, I am disappointed in this attempt to both shoehorn a particular candidate into position ("<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">Let’s do the right thing and move forward with confirming Colin
for this position") </span>and at the same time cast James in a partisan light ("<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">why the folks you represent on Council may be unhappy"), when it was the entire leadership
team that made this decision.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">Let's leave such antics to the Trump team.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">If Colin is indeed qualified for the position, maybe he should have made a better case in his application instead of providing a minimalistic EOI and he can always
re-submit his application during the extention and make a better case. While the process could have been more transparent, I have full confidence that this couse of action will allow for a better result, which may be Colin after all.
<br>
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">Just because there is only one candidate for a given position does not mean that he has to be chosen. I believe such a course of action was also adopted by the CSG
when it came to the election process for the GNSO council leadership a few months back. If the candidate does not appear qualified, extending the search for candidates is a good result, especially when the previous holder of the position is willing to stay
on until his replacement is found. <br>
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">I had hoped we as a council would be able to move beyond partisan politics and focus on doing our job as best we can to the benefit of the entire community.

Colin that question. You say you don’t know Colin and it appears the top-down process of pre-disqualification will ensure that you won’t meet him in the context of his candidacy. If there were a non-top down, open, transparent process in place, which there
doesn’t appear to be, perhaps he would have replied that, of course, he has experience in GAC policy development as that policy effects all of his clients who operate in the space and that is precisely why he was chose by INTA with its 9000 members to be in
the GAC policy related leadership role he is in presently. However, from James’ last post, it appears that there will be no opportunity for the GNSO Council to hear from Colin and no real consideration given to his well-qualified candidacy.

<p class="MsoNormal">Still…, your description of Colin does not (as far as I can tell) include any actual experience with GNSO processes. Considering the nature of the role and duties of the GAC Liaison, wouldn’t you agree that there is a reason why experience
in policy development in the GNSO is the main consideration that needs to be taken into account? This includes understanding of the procedural nuances of the process, as well as the substantive policy issues.<o:p></o:p></p>

naturally – an IPC member. I do not, and in the strongest terms, agree with your conclusion that Colin is unqualified. The facts reveal quite the opposite. Colin is the Chair of INTA’s Subcommittee on GAC issues where he oversees approximately 25 volunteers
all focus on policy issues related to the GAC. His policy work has been extremely important to the development of policy through his role at INTA and the IPC. He has a long history of being at ICANN meetings – where you will find him in every GAC session,
being a careful student of the process, and going back to lead policy efforts in his role within INTA. I can understand why the folks you represent on Council may be unhappy that they could not locate a volunteer to step forward, but that is not the same
thing as Colin – a bright young lawyer with an international practice focusing in the ICANN space – being unqualified (unless being an IPC member is an automatic disqualification, in which case let’s just state that openly and discuss whether or not that is
appropriate). . <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><o:p></o:p></p>

to set the agenda here nor do I see any reason to exclude IPC members from this important role. Let’s do the right thing and move forward with confirming Colin for this position. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><o:p></o:p></p>

of the Liaison by the GAC if that person were ultimately selected in the Fall.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

process. Additionally, we received some verbal indications of interested candidates, but these were withdrawn prior to the deadline. (Most likely due to the irregular term, but I also note Phil’s point about the time commitment during ICANN meetings.)</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">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><o:p></o:p></p>

</div>
<div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">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><o:p></o:p></p>
