<p>2. Review of upcoming SSC assignment and selection process:<u></u><u></u></p>
<p><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p>a. See: <a href="https://community.icann.org/display/GSSC/GNSO+Alternate+Non-Registry+Liaison+to+the+CSC" title="https://community.icann.org/display/GSSC/GNSO+Alternate+Non-Registry+Liaison+to+the+CSC" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">GNSO Alternate Non-Registry Liaison
to the CSC</a> and below.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p>Overview/Questions:<u></u><u></u></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li>CSC has decided to allow Alternate members.<u></u><u></u></li><li>There were some issues with Milton Mueller missing meetings so there was identification of a gap (later established that there was a technical issue with Milton).<u></u><u></u></li><li>GNSO Council assigned to SSC.<u></u><u></u></li><li>Same process as SSC used for selection of Milton, so not a new process.<u></u><u></u></li><li>Term doesn’t start until October 1 (this is a CSC determination, not Council), but good to get the process completed as soon as possible.<u></u><u></u></li><li>Put a placeholder motion on the July Council meeting agenda and fill in the name when the selection process is complete – also could be moved/deferred to the August agenda.<u></u><u></u></li><li>There was one candidate – John Gbadamosi – call for EOIs ended on 21 June.<u></u><u></u></li><li>Question: With only one candidate should we extend the call for EOIs? Answer: It’s not surprising that there was only one candidate – this is a position that requires specific skills and experience.
Not likely that an extension would generate more candidates and, in any case, that is a Council decision to make.<u></u><u></u></li><li>Question: Once the GNSO Council adopts the selection, can that person start attending meetings? Answer: Per the CSC the Alternate Liaisons’ terms start 01 October.<u></u><u></u></li><li>Question: Is this a process to select the Liaison? Answer: The current Liaison is Milton – his term is not expiring and he has indicated that he wants to stay in the position; this selection process is
for the Alternate Liaison.<u></u><u></u></li></ul>
<p> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p>b. Preview candidate evaluation poll.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p> <u></u><u></u></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li>The poll is the same as we used for Milton.<u></u><u></u></li><li>The candidate materials are on a closed page (SSC members only) --- we will take the action to check to make sure you all have access.<u></u><u></u></li><li>Question: If we don’t know the candidate and so can’t answer a question can we skip it? Answer: Staff will test and see if questions can be skipped (DONE—they can).<u></u><u></u></li><li>The poll is brief so we think about a week should be enough time.
<u></u><u></u></li></ul>
<p> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p>c. Next Steps: See Key Dates below.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p> <u></u><u></u></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li>Note that next week’s meeting to review the candidate poll results and make the selection is Wednesday, 12 July at 1400 UTC.
<u></u><u></u></li><li>If the SSC agrees on a selection there will be a 24-hour period on the list for non-objection and then the motion for Council consideration will be updated with the name.<u></u><u></u></li><li>The meeting time does not conflict with the SubPro IRT.<u></u><u></u></li></ul>
