<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><i>The SSC is expected to select its Chair from its membership. The SSC may also select one or two Vice Chairs from its membership to assist the Chair. The Chair serves as a neutral
facilitator who calls meetings, presides over SSC deliberations, and manages the process so that all participants have the opportunity to contribute. The Chair and Vice Chair(s) are also contributing members to the SSC deliberations and participate in consensus
calls. Because members of the leadership team are serving in two roles, they are expected to make clear when they are providing input as a member as opposed to speaking in a leadership capacity.</i><o:p></o:p></p>

<u>Thursday, 15 February at 2100 UTC</u> (a placeholder motion has been submitted for the Consent Agenda).</b> If the SSC should need more time to choose its Chair/Vice Chair(s) this motion can be deferred to the March GNSO Council meeting, but ideally we
