[Gnso-ssc] Selection of ATRT3 candidates

[Emily Barabas]

Dear SSC members,

The deadline to raise objections to proposed ATRT3 candidates has passed. Seeing no objections on the mailing list, staff proposes that Susan submit the names to Council, as detailed in the text below.

Please see attached a copy of the placeholder motion that was submitted by Susan to the GNSO Council over the weekend in anticipation of the SSC potentially reaching consensus this week.

Kind regards,
Emily

Subject: [Gnso-ssc] Selection of ATRT3 candidates

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/[surveymonkey.com]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.surveymonkey.com_results_SM-2D87RXWCMK8_&d=DwMFaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=mBQzlSaM6eYCHFBU-v48zs-QSrjHB0aWmHuE4X4drzI&m=sCBb0Dj4P7pTNyDnSgbhhRV7nt7ts4N9flZ5EQ_Je_w&s=c3kLss_wyH3aRVgKCfHz5TY2GxTPwZ2vOtdEccWkSqA&e=>), 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
