[Gnso-ssc] Selection of ATRT3 candidates

[Susan Kawaguchi]

Dear SSC members,



We had a robust discussion today on the ATRT3 candidates and a lot of good
perspectives were raised in the conversation. At the end of the call, we
appeared to converge on a proposal to put forward the top seven candidates
ranked in the poll (see https://www.surveymonkey.com/results/SM-87RXWCMK8/),
with the top three as primary candidates with a guaranteed seat on the
ATRT3 following GNSO Council endorsement:



*Primary candidates (in order of preference)*

Brian Cute (RySG)

Wolfgang Kleinwächter (NCSG)

Stéphane Van Gelder (RySG)



*Additional candidates (in order of preference)*

Tatiana Tropina (NCSG)

Michael Karanicolas (NCSG)

Adetola Sogbesan (BC)

Erica Varlese (RySG)



The group agreed to express to the GNSO Council concerns about the general
lack of diversity (gender, geographic) in the pool of candidates for review
teams and agreed to request the GNSO Council to encourage SG/C to promote
calls for volunteers and make efforts to promote sufficient diversity in
the pool of applicants for future application processes. Staff will be
circulating a draft motion that is intended to serve as a placeholder until
the SSC submits its recommendations so that these can potentially be
considered during the upcoming Council meeting on 20 September for which
the document deadline is 10 September.



*If you do not agree with this proposal, please submit objections no later
than 11 September COB. Note that a placeholder call is in the process of
being scheduled for next week so that further discussion can take place if
objections are received.  *


Best regards,


SSC Leadership team
