<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you Donna for the edits to clarify the motion. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Ed and I both feel strongly that we adhere to the following language which allows for a rotation of stakeholder group candidates for review team selection. We agree that first and foremost that qualified candidates should be selected but
as there are no shortage of candidates applying for the review teams historically we believe that the SSC can select qualified candidates and ensure that all SG’s are represented in the on going process.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>In order to achieve balance and diversity on the Review Teams, a system of rotation shall be applied to Review Team selections. Any Stakeholder Group which nominated candidates(s) for a Review Team but did not have a candidate ranked
in the top three for that Review Team shall be guaranteed to have an applicant from their Stakeholder Group ranked in the top three for the next three GNSO Review Team appointment processes.</i><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i> </i><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hope to discuss this more on the council<i>. </i><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">On the substantive issues.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">Membership:</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">I have a strong preference to make this a small group and as such opt for membership per SG as described in Option 1. My reading of the Charter is that Option 1 membership also includes the non-voting
nominating committee appointee to the Council and the GNSO Leadership Team would also serve as ex-officio members. This means 8 members of the Council would make up the SSC.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">Option 2 would result in the SSC comprising 11 members of the Council.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">Diversity:</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">During our discussions of the charter, some have argued that it should be more prescriptive with regards to ensuring that there is a fair/balanced rotation among SGs with regard to candidates
nominated/selected for positions. I agree that this is a consideration that the SSC should take into account throughout the selection processes, but this consideration should also be balanced in terms of ensuring that the candidate also has the necessary skills
to make a valuable contribution to the role. I believe the language currently in the charter adequately provides for diversity and representativeness:
</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in;text-indent:-.5in"><i><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">7. The SSC shall strive as far as possible to achieve balance, representativeness, diversity and sufficient expertise appropriate for
the applicable selection process.</span></i><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">However, given the SSC will be conducting a review of the charter after applying it to two selection processes, if the SSC believes this is not adequate they can recommend changes.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">Selection:</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">While I have concerns about the use of full consensus, consensus etc. primarily because I would hate to think that we would ever be in a situation where we have minority view positions coming
out of any SSC selection process, I think this is something that the SSC could also consider when they review the charter.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
