[Gnso-ssc] SSC Workstream for Your Attention and Action

[Carlton Samuels]

Dear SSC members,



We are writing to update you on the schedule regarding the CSC Liaison
selection process and inform you about a new task assigned the SSC for
action.



First, regarding the CSC Liaison EOI – as discussed on the mailing list, *the
EOI deadline has been extended to 7 December*. One application has been
received so far (you can review it on the private wiki here
<https://community.icann.org/display/GSSCMO/GNSO+Liaison+to+the+CSC+-+Application+Materials>),
and at least one more is expected to be received by the deadline. Please
fill out the doodle poll
<https://doodle.com/poll/fvwfzgmkn7mw7gif?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=link%20%5bdoodle.com%5d>
to help us schedule a meeting the week on 14 December to discuss the EOIs
received. As a reminder, everyone will individually fill out a survey
before the call to help organize their thoughts on the candidates.



Second, regarding the new task -- the GNSO Council has requested the SSC to
evaluate EOIs and recommend an individual to serve as the GNSO nominated
Mentor to the ICANN Fellowship Program (you can find background about the
Fellowship Program and mentors for the program here:
https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2020-11-16-en). The attached EOI
will be launched tomorrow with an *application submission deadline of 17
December*.  *The deadline for the GNSO Council to nominate a Mentor is 31
January, 2021. *



We are seeking to complete both selection processes in time for Council to
consider the SSC’s recommendations during its 21 January Council meeting.
Below is a proposed work plan to complete these selections:



   - 3 Dec: Launch Fellowship Mentor EOI
   - 7 Dec: New deadline for CSC Liaison EOI
   - 8 Dec: Launch poll for SSC members complete on CSC Liaison candidates
   - Week of 14 Dec: SSC meeting to discuss CSC Liaison candidates (members
   should complete poll at least 24 hours before the meeting)
   - 17 Dec: Deadline for Fellowship Mentor EOI
   - 18 Dec: Launch poll for SSC members complete on Fellowship Mentor
   candidates
   - Early week of 21 Dec: Additional SSC meeting to discuss CSC Liaison
   candidates, if necessary
   - Week of 4 Jan: SSC meeting to discuss Fellowship Mentor candidates
   (members should complete poll at least 24 hours before the meeting)
   - 11 Jan: Motion Deadline for January GNSO meeting – placeholder motion
   possible
   - Week of 11 Jan: Additional SSC meeting to discuss Fellowship Mentor
   candidates, if necessary
   - 19 Jan: Last day to submit name(s) of recommended candidate(s)
   - 21 Jan: GNSO Council meeting

If you have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to get in touch.



Kind regards,

Carlton and Sophie
