Sorry that it has taken a bit of time to finalize this and notify those who were not selected. The Consensus Call resulted in all but one ALAC Member supporting the recommendation of the AASC. Accordingly, Jabhera Matagoro and Ram Krishna Pariyar are endorsed by the ALAC for the SSR-RT. Alan

Twelve applicants for the 2nd Security, Stability and Resiliency Review Team requested ALAC Endorsement. Of those, five has originally indicated an affiliation with At-Large at the time of the application. Three self-identified as affiliated with the SSAC and four applied as Independent Experts (a category that existed at the time of application but no longer existed when the AoC Reviews were incorporated into the ICANN Bylaws at the time of the IANA Transition. All but one of the applicants were male.
All applicants were given the opportunity to specify who they wished to be endorsed by in line with the revised Bylaws and twelve indicated ALAC. A list of those applicants is attached and their full applications are viewable at https://community.icann.org/display/SSR/Applications+received. Note that one of the applicants withdrew his application due to other commitments and his entry in the table is in red.
All twelve applicants were asked to reply with brief answers to the following questions:
1. What is your connection with At-Large and how have you previously worked with At-Large or its constituent parts?
2. If you are endorsed by the ALAC and selected for the SSR-RT, how do you plan to interact with or report to the ALAC and At-Large while the SSR-RT is active?
3. Of the criteria and attributes listed in the Call for Volunteers (https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-3-2016-06-30-en), which of these do you feel you possess which make you a strong applicant.
The ALAC Appointee Selection Committee (AASC) met today. In addition to me as Chair, there were six of the ten members present with a seventh member submitting comments. All five regions were represented.
It was the unanimous decision of those present to recommend to the ALAC that two candidates be endorsed. Both have strong technical backgrounds well suited to the SSR-RT and both have agreed to work with the ALAC and At-Large to keep us informed of the RT activities and solicit input as appropriate. The applicants are:
Jabhera Matagoro, Tanzania Ram Krishna Pariyar, Nepal
With this message, I am initiating a Consensus Call of the ALAC to ratify the endorsement of Jabhera Matagoro and Ram Krishna Pariyar for the SSR2-RT.
The Consensus Call will end at 23:59 UTC on Tuesday, 10 January 2016.
If there are any questions of comments, please direct them to either this list or to me directly.
Although messages indicating support are welcome, they are not necessary. This Consensus Call will be deemed to have succeeded in the absence of significant opposition (greater than 20% as specified by ALAC RoP 12.3.3.1).
