DECISION NEEDED: Jay Daley on CSC and Tech WG
by Katrina Sataki Dec. 14, 2017

Dec. 14, 2017

Dear Councillors, I believe you've seen Jay's email and issues he raised. 1. The most important is around the CSC. As you remember, we appointed two Members to the CSC. One member was appointed for 2 years and another - for 3 years term. Jay proposed the following: 1) He stays on the CSC until July when a two-years term expires and we have to run a process to nominate a member anyway, If he stays, it ensures that CSC remains efficient and fully operational. 2) He has support from a ccTLD Manager for the rest of his term (.nz), 3) Apparently, he has support from other members of the CSC. Proposal for Council's decision: we thank Jay for his commitment and support him as a member of the CSC for the remaining term. Anyone against? 2. Jay's membership on the Tech WG The Tech WG has evolved and has members from other constituencies as well. Eberhard - the Chair of the WG - has expressed his support for Jay's participation. Proposal for Council's decision: we thank Jay for his commitment and support his participation on the Tech WG. Anyone against? 3. Jay's resignation from TLD-OPS Apparently here we can only note his resignation and thank him for his contribution to the work of this group. Please let me know what you think by 19 December 2017, 23:59 UTC. Thank you! Kind regards, ]{atrina
