<ul type="disc" class="">
<li class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size:11pt" class=""><font class="">The section of the charter on Transparency currently states: “Unless otherwise directed by the GNSO Council, the names of all applicants and all documents received during the selection
process shall be considered public and published on the GNSO web-site or other ICANN web-site. To facilitate its deliberations, the SSC may decide to conduct some or all of its deliberations in private, but if so, it is expected to provide a rationale with
its recommendations.” Some SSC members have suggested that the SSC should conduct deliberations privately by default, publishing emails sent to the mailing list, meeting notes, call recordings, and other materials relevant to a selection process only after
the selection process has been completed. Do members support proposing this change to the charter? Another suggestion made by an SSC member was to continue the current practices regarding transparency but add disclaimer text to the SSC wiki indicating that
all SSC recommendations are subject to GNSO Council approval. Are there additional proposals that SSC members would like to make?</font><br class="">
<font color="#ff0000" class="">Originally, I was advocating to allow the SSC to deliberate in private and then when we had made a decision and informed the Council our deliberations would be made public. I have no reversed my position after the discussions we have had and think we continue our current practices but add the disclaimer text. Transparency is important in the multistakeholder community. </font></span></li></ul></div></div></blockquote><div class=""> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-US" link="#0563C1" vlink="#954F72" class=""><div class="m_8373678846404580317WordSection1"><ul type="disc" class=""><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt" class=""><br class="">

<li class="MsoNormal" style="">
<span class=""><span style="font-size:11.0pt" class="">On the last call, some SSC members raised questions about how the NomCom operates with respect to confidentiality of deliberations, noting that the NomCom is also a body that conducts
selection processes for positions within ICANN. According the NomCom Operating Procedures (</span></span><a href="https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/nomcom2018-procedures-2017-12-15-en#A4" target="_blank" class=""><span class=""><span style="font-size:11.0pt" class="">https://www.icann.org/<wbr class="">resources/pages/nomcom2018-<wbr class="">procedures-2017-12-15-en#A4</span></span><span class=""></span></a><span class=""><span style="font-size:11.0pt" class="">),
the NomCom keeps all deliberations confidential throughout the selection process and continues to keep this information confidential after the selection process is complete. This is a higher level of confidentiality than SSC members have proposed for the SSC.<br class="">

<span class=""><span style="font-size:11.0pt" class="">Staff has investigated options for enabling the SSC to delay public posting of materials, including email and call records and other documentation, until after deliberations for an
appointment are complete. While administratively more complicated than the current setup, this is possible from a technical perspective.<br class="">

<font style="font-size:11pt" class="">Under Review Team Appointment Principles, proposed text for bullet 8 included the following text: “The level of consensus reached by the SSC on the selected candidates will also be
communicated [to the GNSO Council] as well as any minority views, should these exist.” Do SSC members think that it is appropriate to keep the text “as well as any minority views, should these exist” given that the SSC operates by full consensus? Should this
text be clarified to state that the SSC should communicate minority views only if consensus is not possible to reach? </font><font color="#ff0000" class=""><span style="font-size:11pt" class="">Not sure exactly how to edit the language for this but we have allowed in the past comments to be included in the Motion that pertained to our deliberations.
