<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black">NOTES:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black">1. Welcome/Agenda Review/SOI Updates<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black">- no SOI updates<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black">2. Comparison of remaining SSR2-RT candidates and matrix of skills produced by existing SSR2-RT members<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black">- GNSO Council has tasked SSC with comparing the two remaining candidates for the SSR-RT with the skills matrix produced by the existing SSR-RT candidates.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black">- Existing team appears to be fairly balanced. There does not appear to be any category that is an obvious gap. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black">- The candidates have distinct skill sets. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black">- One possible path forward - one or two members take the lead in filling in candidate skills in the table. The rest of the group reviews and refines this analysis. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black">- Alternate approach - conduct a poll among all members.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black">- The SSC could also go back to the original poll completed earlier this year and see how the candidates compare, noting that this poll is less granular.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black">- Reminder that the Council tasked the SSC with focusing on the skills matrix and whether candidates fill any gaps. This is not yet a selection assignment. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black">- Members agree to conduct a new poll (see action item).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black">3. Review of draft proposed revisions to the SSC Charter<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black">- Staff has created a first draft of the proposed revised charter based on the feedback received from SSC members and discussion on the previous call.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black">From the chat:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black">Maxim Alzoba: I think we need feedback from other members too<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black">Maxim Alzoba: I have a comment about page5 - the described situation is related to the case where there is no consensus and SSC needs to report the issue to the GNSO Councel with prepared reasoning and options<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black">Maxim Alzoba: it was about minority views<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black">- Support expressed for keeping text: "as well as any minority views, should these exist” (at the bottom of page 5). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black">- Regarding the section on Transparency, the optics might be a challenge if we publish information about deliberations before the Council has made a decision. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black">- One suggestion -- make deliberations private, including call recordings, and email list before a decision is made, publish this information later.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black">- Alternately, the group continue with the status quo and ensure timely communication to candidates when the group notifies the GNSO Council of its recommendation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black">From the chat:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black">Renata Aquino Ribeiro: I'm much more in favor of making this list only private<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black">Maxim Alzoba: @Renata, I am not sure we can do it<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black">Renata Aquino Ribeiro: I think halfway solutions are awkward. Either we have full transparency or not. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black">Renata Aquino Ribeiro: and prone to errors, non-records<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black">Maxim Alzoba: if we do not find the way to properly design delayed output model, we might continue the usual way of SSC<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black">Renata Aquino Ribeiro: i think the delay is just for the announcement<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black">Maxim Alzoba: after all it works more or less Ok<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black">Renata Aquino Ribeiro: (which is only real anyway once GNSO right?)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black">Emily Barabas: Perhaps the group can start with timely notifications and then if it encounters issues, look into further measures?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black">Maxim Alzoba: when we release the same info to all participants, it is both transparent and clear... we might need a proper disclaimer section of such messages<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black">- Suggestion – revis-t timeline document to ensure the group is notifying candidates in a timely manner.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black">- Suggestion -- add additional clarification in the email from the SSC to candidates with disclaimer text. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
