Notes


1. Welcome/Agenda Review/SOI Updates

-- Welcome to new SSC members

-- We now have a full slate of SSC members for the coming year: https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=64077781

-- SOI update - Julf is on the Board of the Finnish ISOC Chapter


2. Selection of the Chair/Vice-Chair(s)

-- Rafik is acting as temporary Chair until leadership is appointed (Rafik is ex-officio member from the Council Leadership)

-- SSC will need a Chair for the coming year, as well as a Vice-Chair

-- Carlton has volunteered as Vice-Chair

-- Julf may be willing to step forward for Chair role


ACTION ITEM: Staff will follow up on mailing list regarding volunteers for leadership of the SSC for the coming year.


3. Introduction to Assignment - GNSO Nominated Mentor to the ICANN Fellowship Program

-- Details of the assignment and EOIs are available on the wiki: https://community.icann.org/display/GSSC/2020+GNSO+Appointed+Mentor+-+ICANN+Fellowship+Program

-- The EOI closed yesterday. 11 applications were received, including one application that came in one day after the deadline

-- SSC agrees to accept the late application and consider it with the other EOIs

-- No questions from SSC members regarding the assignment


4. Agreement on Process for Mentor Selection

-- Proposed process and timeline: https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/124846870/Draft%20timeline%20-%20SSC%20-%2017%20Dec%202019.pptx?version=1&modificationDate=1576668143000&api=v2

-- Suggested approach: each member individually reviews applications and fills out a poll to help organize their thoughts, after which the SSC holds two meetings in the first half of January to discuss poll results, individual assessments, and any other considerations. Recommendation must be given to the GNSO Council no later than 20 January.

-- Draft poll: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/M3YVJD2

-- No objections to this approach.


ACTION ITEM: Staff will follow up via email about the poll to individually assess EOIs.


5. AOB
-- None
