ACTION ITEM: Staff will circulate a Doodle Poll to schedule a meeting for next week.
ACTION ITEM: As agreed by members, leadership team will send a follow up email with proposed ranking of ATRT3 candidates for further discussion by email.

NOTES:

1.  Agenda review and SOI updates

- Julf has joined as an individual member to NCUC

- Renata is now the mentor of the Global Indigenous Program - ALAC program

2.  Discussion of ATRT3 candidates (see https://www.surveymonkey.com/results/SM-87RXWCMK8/[surveymonkey.com]

- Q3: Sufficient knowledge and experience (Y/N)

- Q4: Necessary skills, expertise, and attributes (Y/N)

- Q5: Rank by skills and experience

- Q6: Rank by desired attributes

- SSC can select three primary candidates and up to seven candidates in total, but it is not required to recommend seven.

- Several members supported sending seven candidates.

- Different opinions expressed about the relative importance of qualifications and diversity considerations.

- Question: can we recommend 4 primary candidates? Answer: The RDS-RT was a special case. It would be very difficult for the GNSO to get a fourth through as a primary candidate. It it advisable to focus on the top three and considerations the SSC wants to focus on for these top three.

- General agreement to pick the top 7, and then rank within that 7.

- From the SSC Charter: The SSC shall strive as far as possible to achieve balance, representativeness, diversity and sufficient expertise appropriate for the applicable selection process. In order to achieve balance and diversity on the Review Teams, the SSC is strongly encouraged to employ a system of rotation to Review Team selections. Any Stakeholder Group which nominated candidates(s) for a Review Team but did not have a candidate selected for that Review Team shall be preferred as a qualified applicant from their Stakeholder Group for one of the three guaranteed slots for the next GNSO Review Team appointment processes.

- From previously selection processes, RySG is the least represented (0 candidates). Other groups have 1-2 candidates selected.

- Proposal: confirm by email that the group follows the rankings per the poll. General support expressed for this proposal.

- Consider expressing concern about diversity and recommend measures to encourage gender diversity, but do not ask for guaranteed fourth seat. Note that of nine applicants, only three were female.

- Deadline for the motion is 10 September. We may need to submit a placeholder motion.
