[council] SSR2 update and proposed immediate action

Thu Apr 12 09:13:07 UTC 2018

Hi Heather,

I have no objections with regards to both calls.

I support the move. Let's not miss the Friday deadline since we have a
qualified individual willing (hoping he is available) to serve.

Regards,
Arsene

>>
>> To recap and restate, as the above may not be 100% clear:
>>
>>    - Call for objections 1: on whether a call for objections
>>    appropriately carries out Council's responsibility in considering the
>>    additional SSR2 member recommended by the SSC (objections deadline 24 hours
>>    from sending this email)
>>    - Call for objections 2: on the appointment of Scott McCormick as the
>>    GNSO's 4th SSR2-RT member (objections deadline Friday 0900 Los Angeles time
