<div>Hi Amr-</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In fact, yes, I believe we were expecting the vetting of criteria/capabilities to be done by the SGs and Cs. Or, to turn the question around, I don’t believe it was anticipated that the Council would question or veto the selected member of any SG or C
due to concerns.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Hope this helps.</div>
<div><br>

<div class="">Hi,</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">We just ended our monthly call, and I had a question on the AOB agenda item number 9.2 concerning “Update on status of progress on the Drafting Team that is to identify new and additional rights and responsibilities for the GNSO under the revised
ICANN Bylaws”:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">In the below email, there are some qualifications described for potential volunteers to this group. I was wondering who is meant to determine whether these qualifications are met in volunteers. Is the GNSO Council meant to do this, or are the
SGs/Cs supposed to do this prior to submitting names? I didn’t think the second scenario was the case, as the application process seems to be simply notifying a councillor of the desire to join the group, who would be expected, in turn, to communicated this
to the GNSO secretariat.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">As James mentioned on the call, the deadline for applications to join this group is tomorrow.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thanks.</div>

the ICANN Bylaws or GNSO Operating Procedures. The Drafting Team shall reflect the current composition of the GNSO and as such, the GNSO Council may review the number of volunteers identified by the GNSO Council members. GNSO Councilors are requested to identify
volunteers by email to <a href="mailto:gnso-sec@icann.org" class="">gnso-sec@icann.org</a> by 22 July 2016.

is contingent on the proposed transition away of remaining United States Government oversight of ICANN. The Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council is aware that changes that may need to be made to the GNSO’s current Operating Procedures and
related mechanisms and to the ICANN Bylaws in order to give effect to new roles and obligations of the GNSO under the new Bylaws, such as those in this table (<a href="http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/revised-bylaws-notes-comments-procedures-14jun16-en.pdf" class="">http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/revised-bylaws-notes-comments-procedures-14jun16-en.pdf</a>),
