Staff will draft an email to the SSR2-RT co-chairs asking for feedback on the profile of the desired candidate. Draft message will be circulated to SSC members for sign-off and then sent to SSR2-RT co-chairs.</span></span></b><o:p></o:p></a></p>

<p><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">2. Review of poll results – SSR2-RT candidates/skills matrix</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">- The selection </span></span><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">of a candidate
<span style="color:black">by the SSC has become more pressing as a GNSO priority. The SO/AC leaders feel that this selection process must be completed before the SSR2-RT can resume. The GNSO would not like this selection to hold up re-starting the Review Team</span>,
therefore a recommendation should be made as soon as possible<span style="color:black">.</span></span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">- </span></span><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">One member noted that in<span style="color:black"> addition to poll results, diversity should be a consideration</span>
for this process<span style="color:black">, including geographic region and SG/C. </span></span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">- </span></span><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Affiliation of SSR2-RT members nominated by the GNSO<span style="color:black">: Denise Michel (BC), Norm Ritchie (unaffiliated), James Gannon</span>,
the member who stepped down, is <span style="color:black">NCUC-affiliated</span></span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">- </span></span><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Affiliation of candidates for the vacancy<span style="color:black">: Rao Naveed Bin Rais (NCUC) and Scott McCormick (BC)</span></span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">- </span></span><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Question:
<span style="color:black">Is it possible for the SSC to recommend training for members? </span></span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">- Response: The Council can recommend that the Review Team members have access to training in areas relevant to the work, but it may not be appropriate for this group to make recommendations for specific training for specific candidates.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">- SSAC was concerned with technical and security skills on the team and that more individuals with this skill</span></span><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">
<span style="color:black">set may be needed. </span></span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">- Suggestion: Perhaps it would be helpful to ask Norm and Denise what types of skills/types of person would be most valuable to the SSR as they have </span></span><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">direct
<span style="color:black">experience with what is needed. It may also be helpful to rach out to James Gannon as he was there from the start. </span></span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">- <span style="color:black">
Alternately, the SSC could focus outreach to current leadership (Denise and Eric).</span> SSC members on the call generally supported directing the inquiry to the co-chairs.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">3. Proposed revisions to SSC Charter (time permitting)</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">- There was not enough time to cover this topic on the call.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">- Regarding deadlines, the SSC could have this item for discussion at the upcoming meeting, if feasible, but for formal consideration, it would need to be submitted with a motion by the deadline for the following meeting.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
