<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Staff has prepared a draft survey to support the upcoming ATRT3 selection process for your review (see my previous email below for details). This draft survey is very similar to the one used last year for
the original ATRT3 selection process, but this time it will include names of those from the previous selection process who are still available as well as any new candidates who submit applications by the 30 October deadline. A preview of the draft survey is
available here: <a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Preview/?sm=p9OjvjvM1SeKr_2B9KF6S8N6RUDcci_2FrXt8KAO7sos5KqzysiCDajKKBCERxlM7aGc&state=invite_modal">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The GNSO Council has asked the SSC to take on a selection process in the coming weeks related to the re-scheduled start of the
<a href="https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2017-01-31-en">Third Review of ICANN Accountability and Transparency (ATRT3)</a>. I know this is a busy time for many of you with ICANN63 coming up,
<b>but this will need to be quite a quick process with action required on your part in the next two weeks</b> (details below).
<b>Please fill out this <a href="https://doodle.com/poll/wqfawm2xaqi8iw34">doodle</a> to help us schedule an SSC meeting to complete this process in early November and look out for additional emails with instructions about evaluating the candidates prior to
the meeting.</b> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Last year the SSC went through a selection process to recommend candidates for the ATRT3 (details
<a href="https://community.icann.org/display/GSSC/ATRT3">here</a>). The start of the ATRT3 was then delayed to allow for conversations and public consultation on the schedule of ICANN reviews (see public comments on
<a href="https://www.icann.org/public-comments/specific-reviews-short-term-timeline-2018-05-14-en">
short-term</a> and <a href="https://www.icann.org/public-comments/reviews-long-term-timeline-2018-05-14-en">
long-term</a> options to adjust the timeline of reviews). ICANN Org is now <a href="https://www.icann.org/public-comments/reviews-next-steps-2018-09-05-en">
recommending to the Board</a> that that ATRT3 begin in January 2019. The GNSO has been asked to finalize its slate of candidates by 31 October, but we are working to find a little more flexibility in this deadline.
