[rssac-caucus] Application Period: RSSAC Liaison to the Customer Standing Committee

[Carlos Reyes]

Hello, RSSAC Caucus.

 

It is time to begin the selection process for the Outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the Customer Standing Committee. Please refer to the attachment for more information about the role and to this page for information about the CSC. I have also copied below the relevant sections from “RSSAC000v3: RSSAC Operational Procedures” for your reference.

 

With this notice, a one-month application period is now open. Applicants must complete an expression of interest form and submit it to carlos.reyes at icann.org by 23:59 UTC on 2 July. I will provide the expression of interest form early next week. RSSAC will then consider the slate of applicants at its 10 July teleconference. 

 

As you may recall, the RSSAC appointed Lars-Johan Liman to this role in 2016. Per RSSAC000v3, Lars-Johan is eligible for re-appointment to a second two-year term. 

 

The RSSAC Co-Chairs appreciate your consideration. Please do not hesitate to contact the RSSAC Co-Chairs or support staff with any questions or concerns.

 

Best,


Carlos Reyes on behalf of 

Tripti Sinha and Brad Verd,

RSSAC Co-Chairs

 

 

 

1.2.6.6 Outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the Customer Standing Committee 

The outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the Customer Standing Committee is specified in the ICANN Bylaws. The term for the outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the Customer Standing Committee shall be two years. A person may only serve for two consecutive terms. The eligibility status for a previous liaison is reset one year after having stepped down. The RSSAC must elect the outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the Customer Standing Committee according to the outgoing RSSAC liaisons election procedure (Section 1.2.6.8) from the members of the RSSAC Caucus. The outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the Customer Standing Committee acts as a conduit between the RSSAC and the Customer Standing Committee reporting on matters that need to be coordinated or communicated between the two bodies. The role requires discretion, management skills, and considerable time commitment

 

Please note: The length of the term in Section 1.2.6.6. currently reads as “three” years (since it was drafted during the IANA stewardship transition and before the CSC charter was finalized). The RSSAC will update this section in RSSAC000v4 to reflect “two” years and align with the CSC charter. 

 

1.2.6.8 Outgoing RSSAC Liaisons Election Procedure 

One month prior to each election, qualified nominees will be accepted for the outgoing liaison position and announced on the RSSAC distribution list. During the meeting that includes election of an outgoing liaison position on its announced agenda, additional nominations will be accepted, and all nominees will indicate their intentions: to accept or to decline their nomination. In the event that only one candidate is standing for election, the RSSAC may elect the new outgoing liaison by acclamation. In the event that two or more candidates are standing for election, the presiding Co-Chair will call for a vote. Members will indicate their selection. A simple majority (half plus one) of the voting members will establish the new liaison. In the event a simple majority is not achieved due to having more than two nominees, the nominee with the least number of votes is eliminated and the voting is repeated with the reduced slate of names. The process is repeated until a nominee achieves a simple majority. In the event of a tie, a run-off election will occur with members indicating their selection. In the event of a second tie, the floor will be opened for discussion followed by a new vote with the simple majority designating the new liaison. The Co-Chairs will forward the name of the outgoing liaison-elect to the reciprocating body. If a vacancy exists in an outgoing liaison role, the RSSAC will elect a new outgoing liaison through this process.
