<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Chat excerpt:</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Marika Konings: </span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Under A it would be considered a shared responsibility of the GNSO Leadership Team. Term limits would be linked to their term as Chair/Vice-Chair and/or appointment to the Council. (term is one year, renewable)</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Marika Konings: </span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">one advantage of the Chair would be that he/she is already accustomed to the responsibility of representing the GNSO Council and are aware of this notion that they are their in a representative position and not an individual one.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Marika Konings: </span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">allowing the leadership to figure it out would allow for spreading out to work</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">- Pro: As the job is simpler than originally thought, and the job requires less of a time commitment than originally expected by the SSC, this option will keep things simple.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">- Pro: Since there is a chair and two vice chairs, one member could be the primary with another member of the leadership team as a fallback.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">- Possibility of designating outgoing chair.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">- Pro: having it as a joint responsibility for the leadership team would also have the advantage of ensuring that there is representation from across the GNSO houses.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">- Different people have different availability, may be helpful to ask leadership team if the shared responsibility is something they can manage themselves. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
