[Gnso-ssc] [Ext] Re: Reminder: Volunteers for SSC Chair and Vice Chair(s)

Thu Feb 15 18:20:04 UTC 2024

Julie,

I am happy for the names to be sent to Council via the motion!

 I was under the impression that majority of colleagues did not find it
very important for staff to wait until the orientation meeting to confirm
names, which was the initial suggestion I supported.

Hope this clarifies my point.
